Update: There’s now a full press release. Here it is, just in case you need it. You probably don’t need it.
Original Post: There’s no official press release announcing it, but these tweets from Live Audio Wrestling are all the confirmation I need seeing as the LAW is part of the Fight Network so almost certainly wouldn’t be going around tweeting false info.
Beginning Tuesday April 26th, Fight Network in Canada will be airing ROH's weekly television every Tuesday at 11pm ET following Impact

Fight Network's Tuesday night lineup in Canada: Impact Wrestling at 9pm, ROH at 11pm and AAA at Midnight (all times Eastern)

I’m not sure when they started airing that AAA show, but I did catch the last few minutes of an episode the other day so I do know that it’s not debuting when ROH does.
This is excellent news for Canadian Ring of Honor fans. I’m lucky enough to be able to get the show on two different stations from Buffalo even though the time slots aren’t the greatest (Saturdays at 9 PM and Sundays at 11 PM both subject to preemptions for football and baseball and whatnot), but I know that there are people who aren’t even that fortunate, so a spot on a national network that replays the hell out of everything will offer plenty of chances for folks to catch it each week.
It’s obviously great for ROH too, and I hope it eventually leads to more live events here. I’ve never gone to a ROH show, so from a purely selfish point of view it would be nice to have more chances to fix that.
As I think I’ve said before, if you’re tired of what WWE is giving you, give ROH a chance. It’s easy to watch and understand, and it will almost never make you feel like a fool for devoting your time to it. Most weeks I look forward to it more than any of the other wrestling shows I watch.
