NOAH TV contract is "Navagating Stormy Waters"

[Ganso]

According to a source close to Nippon-TV, the network will demote NOAH's 30-minute weekly program's time slot to Friday/Saturdays 2-230 AM JST and Wed/Thr 2-230 AM JST. This was the same exact thing that All Japan got right before their separation from Nippon TV and the NOAH split. Pro-Wrestling NOAH's TV contract with Nippon-TV ends in April; NTV will re-examine their relationship with NOAH whether they will decide to keep them on or exchange them to bring back All Japan or Colosseo which is a 30-minute highlight show of various japanese promotions.

In March, a new cable sattelite service called CS Japan will introduce a digital television service which one of the channels is expected to have NOAH or All Japan TV programs.

I was under the impression that all wrestling shows drew huge ratings. What do they really get?

This is an estimate but I believe it was measured to be 1.8-2.1

What about NJ and AJ? I remember hearing they pull in 15s.
