TNA Wrestling announced via press release that it reached a multi-year agreement with Nippon Television Corporation (NTV) to continue to be its program carrier in Japan.

"It's another example of the success we are enjoying around the world, which also includes new deals in France and Portugal and a very successful launch on Sony SIX in India."

According to the release, G+ also airs NFL, NASCAR, MotoGP, international soccer and Japan's Yomiuri Giants.
