Pulse channel Closing!

Over the past few days it has become blatantly clear, and has now been confirmed, that the
TV channel Pulse will be closing down within days rather than weeks, making the broadcast
of the RQW programming impossible.

The RQW contract was negotiated with a person employed by the owners of Pulse, Portland TV,
whose brief was to source new programming for the channel, and he was incredibly
enthusiastic about British wrestling being featured in such a high profile way that would
benefit all parties concerned. We are currently consulting with our lawyers to clarify our
position as the contract was signed by the Portland TV director when it was clearly already anticipated that the
station would close.

The prepared programming will still be made available for viewing on www.realqualitywrestling.tv
from next week, and on a positive note, talks are well underway with other channels who were interested in the
7 nights a week concept.

Guess thats what you get for posting information from a wrestle magazine

I was wondering what was going on there alright. It looked like it was a decent deal for RQW.

I enjoyed RQW on TWC while thatw as still alive, and a new deal would have given it a bit more exposure and maybe a bigger channel may have picked it up.

Hopefully they can find something else, though am not sure how beneficial a 7 nights a week format would be. Overkill springs to mind.

Seven nights a week is far too much. Their feuds will be over in a week!

They should try for one solid show a week to keep people interested and to promote their live shows.
