After months without television, the company signed a deal with Prime Ticket for new episodes.[5] These new episodes taped at Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium began airing as UWF Thunder Hour on Sunday nights in July 1992.
In March 1995, existing Fury Hour and Thunder Hour episodes were repackaged to a half-hour format and aired daily on ESPN2. Those same 24 repackaged episodes later re-aired on ESPN Classic between 2008 and 2013.[6][7] Steve Ray tried suing ESPN Classic in 2014 for using his likeness during these rebroadcasts, but was unsuccessful.[8]
ESPN Classic Canada reran the original one-hour format episodes of Fury Hour and Thunder Hour in 2004.[9]
