Lucha Television Information: A listing of where and when lucha wrestling shows air.
A listing of where and when lucha wrestling shows air, broken down by country. This is a general guide to shows, where exact timeslots and content can vary from week to week.


===Mexico===
Only currently airing shows are mentioned. Networks are listed in their primary country of origin. [[Discontinued Lucha Television Information|Discontinued shows]] have their own page.


Both [[AAA]] and [[CMLL]] air on the [[Televisa]] family of channels. On National Channel 9 (also known as Galavision), CMLL airs on Saturdays afternoon, and AAA airs on Sunday afternoon, but exact times vary depending on the week.
==Mexico==


[[IWRG]] airs on the AYM Sports network, out of Juarez, Sundays at 11am.
=== Televisa (Galavision/Channel 9) ===


Since late '05, CMLL also airs on Canal 52. Check the listing in the United States section for more information.
Both [[AAA]] and [[CMLL]] air on the [[Televisa]] family of channels. On National Channel 9 (also known as Galavision), CMLL airs on Saturdays afternoon, and AAA airs on Sunday afternoon. Both the exact times and lengths have varied over the course of the year. As of summer 2012, [[CMLL on Televisa|CMLL]] usually airs on Saturdays at 3pm for an hour, and [[AAA on Televisa|AAA]] usually airs on Sundays at 3pm for an hour and a half.


===United States===
In 2011, Televisa moved AAA to Saturday during NFL season, and frequently shortened both CMLL and AAA. It's unknown if this will repeat during the 2012 NFL season.


<B>Galavision</b>
=== Televisa (Regional Networks) ===


[[CMLL]] and [[AAA]] may air on Galavision (US), which is owned by Univision. In the past, Galavision would combine and compact both promotion's shows into a two or three hour timeslot. In the last year, they've instead just show one promotion or the other (usually CMLL), though cuts are still sometimes made to allow for US length commerical breaks.
Starting in late 2011, and in response to scheduling difficultly on the main network, AAA began syndicating a television show to Televisa affiliates. The time and day of the show varies depending on the town. This [[AAA on Televisa (Regional)AAA show]] runs two hours, a half hour longer than the main show, and also includes less commercial breaks. The content is similar to main AAA show, but may include matches which did not on the AAA on Televisa show, or longer versions of the same matches.


Currently, only AAA is airing on the network. They've expanded the usual timeslots to 3 hours to get around having to cut the episodes up to fit the old 2 hours slot. There's no word when CMLL might air again, and there was no word that only AAA would air before it did.
=== TVC Deportes ===


In early 2003, Galavision stopped airing new episodes of CMLL and AAA due to a contract dispute. The sides were eventually able to come to an agreement in June of 2003, but Galavision opted to start airing episodes on a two month delay. (The US broadcasts were previously only two weeks behind Mexico.) Since this time, the delay has grown to over three months.
TVC Deportes, a cable network (504 on Cablevision in Mexico City) airs a variety of lucha libre shows.  


On normal weeks, lucha airs three times during the weekend. There are two airings of "Lucha Libre", once on Saturday at 2pm EST, and once again early Sunday morning at 3am. On Sunday afternoon at 2pm, "Lucha de Vuelta" airs, which is a rerun of "Lucha Libre" from weeks prior. All shows are typically two hours long. Starting time and length can vary from week to week due to other programming commitments (usually Mexican futbol coverage), and it varies enough that it's worth checking the listings each week.
'''[[Tercera Caida]]''': their flagship lucha libre show, with highlights from all the major promotions and interviews with luchadors. Typically airs Tuesday nights.


Galavision's site is [http://www.galavision.com www.galavision.com]. Depending on your cable provider and area, Galavision (listed as GALA) may be part of your normal digital channels, a special Spanish language tier or be unavailable at all. Galavision is available on both DirectTV and DishNetwork.
'''[[Revolucionarios de IWRG]]''': a weekly two hour IWRG broadcast, usually airing all but the opener from the previous Thursday night. Airs Sunday nights.


<B>CAN52MX/Canal 52/Multivision</b>
'''[[CMLL Puebla]]''': a weekly broadcast of the previous Monday's CMLL [[Arena Puebla]], with a slight emphasis on the local luchadors. The length of the show has varied over the years, and is currently 90 minutes. Sometimes vanished from the schedule.
 
'''[[Todos x el Todos (TV show)]]''': a periodic broadcast of the monthly [[Todos x el Todos]] show. Typically begins airing the week after the most
 
Many shows are repeated later in the week in the early morning hours. Some TVC Deportes programming, including most of the lucha libre shows, are repackaged on United States network TVC+ Latino.
 
=== Cadena3 ===
 
Cadena3, a network based in Mexico City and syndicated thru Mexico, airs [[CMLL on Cadena3]] an unnamed weekly Saturday night show at 7pm CT. The show airs two hours of the weekly Tuesday night CMLL taping, usually encompassing everything but the opening match.
 
=== 52MX ===
 
Since late '05, [[CMLL Guerreros del Ring (52MX)|CMLL '''Guerreros del Ring''']] (GdR) on Canal 52MX. This station is available in both the United States and Mexico.
 
Guerreros del Ring is a one hour show, typically airing the two matches from the Sunday Arena Coliseo show (6 days after). It's air time has varied over the years. Currently, the new episode premieres Saturdays at 3pm ET, with many reruns in the following three days.
 
=== Fox Sports ===
 
CMLL airs a [[CMLL on Fox Sports|one hour show]] on this network. The day of the week, start time, content and even name of the show has varied since it's debut in 2006. It was originally called Guerreros del Ring, sharing the same name and look as the 52MX show. The Fox Sports became unnamed in 2011, corresponding with a change in production companies. The show originally aired matches from CMLL Sunday tapings (again, like the 52MX show), but switched to airing matches from Friday tapings in 2011.
 
(This should not be confused with the United States Fox Sports Deportes, which aired a different CMLL previously.)
 
=== AYM Sports ===
 
AYM's main lucha libre show is a one hour interview show called [[Sobre el Ring]]. [[Javier Llanes]] hosts the show and is often accompanied by [[Jaque Mate]] and various guests.


Since late '05, CMLL has started to air a Guerreros del Ring (GdR) on Canal 52MX. This station is avaiable in both the United States and Mexico, though it's non-GdR programming lineup varies depending on the country.
AYM's shown matches from a variety of promotions, most often single shows from small promotions. As of 2012, they seem to most often be airing shows from the Tinieblas Jr. led [[FULL]] promotion. AYM will reair the same shows many times over.


Guerreros del Ring is a one hour show, typically airing the two matches from the Sunday Arena Coliseo show (6 days after). It airs in both Mexico and the United States on Saturday at 8:30am and Sunday at 9:30am, and only in the United States at 8:00pm. (All times Eastern.)

A weekly [[IWRG (Vibra TV)IWRG show]] airs on VibraTV on Sunday mornings starting in 2012. The channel, only available on Cablevision in Mexico City, appears to be leasing the time to production company CanalDVD, who is putting IWRG on the air. The show starts at 10 am CT, and runs 90 minutes, showing matches from the previous Sunday's show at Arena Naucalpan.


<B>Fox Sports en Espanol</b>

===Galavision===


Residents of Southern California have been known to be able to receive the over the air signal from the Tijuana Televisa affiliate (Channel 12 - XEWT). However, they often cut off the CMLL lucha show after the first hour. Sometimes you get the first hour of the show, sometimes the last hour, just depends. The show had been airing steadily the past few weeks but is now one week behind after they skipped a week. Its airing depends on if there's any big futbol game or not on Saturdays. <I>IF</I> it airs its at 6pm.
[[CMLL]] and [[AAA]] have aired on Galavision (US), which is owned by Univision. CMLL, when it was known as EMLL, started airing in the United States prior to airing in Mexico.
