Here is the latest on the status of the WWE Network. WWE has been looking at a model for their proposed network that would see them roll it out as a paid premium channel, one where subscribers would pay a set amount a month to have access to the channel, similar to HBO or Showtime.
The feeling within the company is that it would be easier to roll the channel out in that fashion because it would guarantee money for the providers as opposed to expecting them to pay WWE for the content initially.
There is a lot of pressure within the company to get the project off the ground and at this time, the above business model is not even 100% confirmed.
