Variety reports that Vince McMahon said yesterday that they are pursuing the WWE cable channel harder than ever and are looking to launch it as early as this year. WWE is currently talking to cable providers about carrying the network. The WWE network is being planned to be made up of a "variety of shows that don't revolve around the kind of in-ring wrestling that it currently airs each week on USA Network, Syfy, MyNetwork TV and WGN."
WWE is hoping that the network will serve as a way to appeal to a broader audience than they currently attract. Vince told the shareholders: "Many times, they are the gatekeepers of the future on whether they encourage kids to watch our program. We haven't appealed in terms of our product to our older audience as our younger audience."

Or both, perhaps? Hell, just let every cable company have it. More revenue for WWE that way. |

I would assume it's kinda like the NFL network, with lots of recap shows, origional program, and classic matches.

Well if all cable providers carry it this could be awesome news. I assume that it will replace 24/7.
I'd like to see...
WWE get their own version of Sports Center. Top five hits of the week or something like that. With highlights of all that weeks shows.
NXT get a new home.
Exclusive backstage footage from RAW & SD.
Exclusive matches.
FCW on air.
Classic footage from WWE, wCw, NWA, AWA, & OVW.

As long as it's on Direct Tv, I really don't care how much extra I have to pay or which other cable companies will have it
