WWE will announce it's 1st quarter 2016 financial results at 11:00 E.T tomorrow, 10 May 2016. In many ways, the upcoming results would be very significant and indicative of WWE's financial health giving us a clear overview on the extent of their International expansion with the WWE Network and whether it has strengthened it's case of becoming the single most dominant parameter while discussing WWE's finances. It will give us an indication as to whether T.V Ratings command as much relevance in the contemporary scenario as they did, let's say 10 years back or so.
Below are the WWE network numbers specifically availing the service at the time of WM 32:
A breakdown of WWE's various revenue streams and their comparison with previous years' earnings:
Note the drastic increase in Network revenue which is still in it's global infancy. I personally expect it to be the No.1 revenue generation stream in less than 5 years. T.V as a medium is becoming obsolete year by year and the lowering TV ratings are hardly resulting to be representative of the wider worldwide interest in the product. I think a rethink on whether it is still the primary parameter of the company's health is long overdue.
