The WWE Network was scheduled to launch in the UK earlier this week, but fans
were left disappointed when the launch was delayed. There was a lot of talk
regarding why the delay happened, and all of it was related to negotiations with
Sky TV. Sky TV is the home of WWE programming in the UK, and still runs the PPVs
there.
A Sky Sports customer service representative informed one of their readers
that WWE Network will be launched as a Sky TV channel. The representative stated
the following…
“Yes, we will launch it as a channel with Sky TV. Currently we don’t
have any details but it will be going to be soon… And you will be notified by
adv, email or call.”
This will be similar to the Canadian model, in that it will be a channel, but
there is no other information available at this time. The Canadian version,
through Rogers Cable, airs the schedule of streaming content and offers limited
OnDemand content.
