WWE Raw TV rights update; FX still favorite, WBD still in contention

[Cwalker]

I’ve seen this a couple times, but Prime has live capabilities?

Yeah. I was watching Thursday Night Football live on there last night

 

[Chris]

Yeah it's just on the main Prime Video app as a live feed

 

[Chris]

Amazing quality too, its 4K with no extra charge, but from what I've heard the ad revenue and viewership loss just wouldn't be worth it yet, though down the road its becoming more viable

 

[Smart Marx]

Interesting. Not sure that would be optimal though.

No way they’d match current live tv numbers if you require your viewers to have another subscription.

You’d think instead they’d workout a Peacock deal.

Ninja. This was my primary concern.

Free 4K is dope, though.

That could be a whole different thing. WWE still has the next day rights that Hulu currently has for sale as well, they're up when the rest of the TV deals are bc they extended it to make it that way

someone will eventually have to be the first one to be courageous but set themselves up for the future.

TV rights, imo, are about or have already peaked. probably the later, since WWE didn't get the number they wanted for SDL and it sounds like they'll come up short again with RAW. not by much, but it indicates that the arms race has significantly cooled off it the content acquisition tv game

I expected WWE to make the gamble and do it for NXT to spread their products onto different mediums. Cannot see it for Raw at all tho

 

[Dale]

When the fuck are the rights in the UK up, sick of it being BTNT

 

[RAW Roulette]

I don’t want to see it happen, but how surreal would it be seeing Raw on TNT?

Raw was on TNT in March 2001 for that simulcast.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

What do I need to watch it? Just prime subscription?

Yep included with a prime subscription

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

love to see Raw on FX tbh

 

[Smart Marx]

Raw on FX would be cool to see since both ECW and WCW tried to land FX deals in 2001. Finally get some wrestling on there.

Was that FX? I didn't think it was around that long ago but I was 5 lmao

Yeah, it was like a brand new channel that debuted around the time of the WB and UPN.
