The WWE Is Launching Its Own Network
Wrestling fans are getting their very own network, but don’t look for it on cable.
FOX Business Network’s Dennis Kneale explains:
Is cable TV gettin’ body slammed? Pro Wrestling’s WWE is launching its own new network– but it’s sidestepping cable entirely to set up directly on the internet. The WWE Network launches on February 24th, offering pay-per-view events and original shows that, until now, had been accessible only via local cable systems. The new net will be available on android, Apple, Kindle, Playstation and Xbox. A new website will live-stream all 12 pay-per-view matches already set for cable this year, including the aptly named “Wrestlemania”.
In New York, Dennis Kneale, FOX News Radio.
Editor’s note: The service will be subscription-based and cost $9.99 per month with a six-month subscription. The WWE’s pay-per-view events are included in this price.
