Raw USA Network question...
 
I was wondering if Raw will still be on Spike TV and TSN? :?:

Xero 09-17-2005 03:45 PM

It won't be on Spike. I would imagine that it would still be on TSN, because the WWE has separate contracts with different countries that don't use Spike/USA/UPN/Whatever.

yeah, over here in the UK, The WWE has a contract with Sky.

So WWE gets shown on Sky One, Sky Sports 1, 2 and 3 and sometimes Sky Sports Xtra.

Yeah, USA and Spike are owned by separate companies entirely. There is no way WWE would exist on both.

Nope. Sky has made all wrestling exclusive to Sky Sports 3 for some reason. The exceptions are WWE Experience on Sky One on Sunday mornings and the PPVs which are only shown on Sky Sports 1 because it is the only one of the three sports channels to broadcast past 2am (most nights).

I'll have my £20 through Paypal please

Will Raw still be on Sky Sports?

Nervous Ferret 09-21-2005 06:40 PM

NO! It won't be shown in European countries. It's the law.

Will we still get RAW Live here in the UK, or does the change not effect us at all over here?

The Fox 09-21-2005 06:55 PM

all I know is that this USA network change is crap for everybody! ok yes we get a 3 hour show,but what's the use if we can't even see it?! They exepect more viewers but how in the blue hell are they gonna have more viewers if Canada and the UK and others can't watch it anymore?? I mean I know there dumb but are they that ignorant

Team Sheep 09-21-2005 07:03 PM

We will get RAW in the UK, I was just asking if we'd still get it live. I don't see why not now I think about it, seeing as it's a contract with WWE that Sky has, and not with Spike.

What? Why wouldn't the other countries get it? As I said, they're on separate contracts, this move basically changes nothing for the foreign airings of RAW.

And I've read that at least TSN in Canada is going to carry the entire 3 hours of the Homecoming show.

TerranRich 09-22-2005 05:39 PM

Since WWE television is an American product, it is exclusive to the United States. So, sorry Fox, but you're screwed out of RAW. That's the way it is.

Yes. It'll be the same as before. Raw and Smackdown have moved networks plenty of times in the US and its never affected schedules here - it shouldn't now either.

Yeah, I just noticed noticed that on Monday.

Weird.

The only reason TSN wouldn't show the whole Homecoming would be if there were a big hockey/football game at the same time. But we Canucks should really worry about is whether TNA will show on Spike, since either TSN or Score (I forget which) is already showing old episodes.
