** After the company was bought by Anthem Sports and Entertainment, the company's programming has become a mainstay on "Live TV" streaming services targeting cord-cutters (that is, people who want to stop paying for cable), such as Creator/PlutoTV, Fubo, and Platform/YouTube TV. All of these services have dedicated TNA channels, and in some cases they're the only wrestling content available on the basic tier (or even at all). [[TropesAreTools This makes sense from a business standpoint for both the streaming services and TNA]]. The apps, who want to air wrestling as part of an "all-in-one" entertainment package, get a large library of programming and name recognition that's leagues cheaper than other companies who have exclusivity deals with certain networks and companies (such as the WWE's deals with Fox and Comcast and AEW's deal with Warner). TNA, meanwhile, gets a wider reach: in a lot of countries their programming is either on higher-tier cable package or doesn't air at all, meaning that these deals are a good way to get the company's programming in places where it doesn't air.

Prior to 2011, there had only been one ongoing ''Suicide Squad'' series that ran for a respectable 66 issues in the late 80s and early 90s, but it was given a huge push by ''ComicBook/TheNew52''. Counting ''New Suicide Squad'', there have been ''five'' ''Suicide Squad'' ongoings since that period--each time the book falls below a threshold that most books would get cancelled at, it simply relaunches with a new creative team. It also has a noticeably outsized presence in events, most notably ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueVsSuicideSquad'', which by its very name puts the team on level pegging with DC's traditional A-listers. This isn't even mentioning cross-media projects, such as the team getting [[Film/SuicideSquad2016 a live-action film adaptation]], multiple direct-to-video animated films, and [[VideoGame/SuicideSquadKillTheJusticeLeague a big-budget video game]] from the same studio as the ''Arkham'' games. This is despite the fact that it's never been an especially strong seller--for instance, its first post-''New 52'' series, a year after launch, sold only slightly more than ''Justice League International'', which was cancelled that same month and has yet to return since.
