    Takedown, Time Warner reach expansion agreement

    Takedown Wrestling Media presented by 04 Water/Blue 04 "The Evolution in Hydration" announced that they've reached an expanded distribution agreement with Time Warner SportsChannel. Under the terms of the agreement Time Warner SportsChannel will expand distribution of Takedown Wrestling and USA Wrestling Weekly to promote and grow the sport of wrestling on Ch. 323 in New York City, the Hudson Valley and both North and South Carolina.

    The distribution agreement between Takedown Wrestling Media and Time Warner SportsChannel is both important and strategic. Effective immediately both USA Wrestling Weekly and Takedown Wrestling Weekly News Programs will be available to the expanded audience. These additions increase the total number of homes receiving the wrestling news programs to 55 million homes first run 52 weeks per year.

    "Takedown Wrestling Media is excited to grow our partnership with Time Warner SportsChannel to keep fans up to date on the world of wrestling. College and International styles alike will benefit from the wide and growing distribution of Time Warner SportsChannel," said Scott Casber, Founder of Takedown Wrestling Media.

    Casber's views were mirrored by Time Warner Cable Sports Sr. Director and General Manager Steve Arvan, who said, "We believe that the time is right to expand our wrestling news coverage. We see the sport of wrestling as being under-reported nationally and feel that by teaming with Takedown Media and USA Wrestling Weekly we can give Time Warner SportsChannel's grappling fans access to the finest worldwide wrestling coverage available."

    USA Wrestling's President James Ravanack added "that the increased coverage of USA wrestling events and its athletes will serve to continue wrestling's growth especially in the south eastern United States. We're confident that wrestling's growth in the US and around the world will benefit from the increased coverage and expanded distribution from our relationship with Time Warner SportsChannel "

    The distribution agreement between Takedown Wrestling Media and Time Warner SportsChannel continues and grows the original 2 year old distribution between the two companies. Time Warner SportsChannel and Takedown Wrestling Media will add additional markets in the coming months. The agreement is part of Takedown Wrestling Media's strategy to create a network of news outlets covering, promoting and growing all disciplines of the growing sport.
