Silly and bastardly nonsense
(I have no idea if the Federation is still in TV negotiations or not)
That said, I read on some no-name rumormongering site that Turner Broadcasting was one of the people the Federation is/was talking to (I personally don't believe it). So since this is nonsense, wouldn't that be "great" to see the Federation on Turner stations (to me the very idea is insulting). (feel free to vote to close the thread after this). |

It's a business, businesses like to make money, I don't see the issue here.

Good Old Ted has nothing to do with his cable empire anymore. He's too busy bathing in all of his money from his initial investments in cable television. I think that TBS is actually higher rated than USA (source needed). It would not be a big shock if they moved to the "SuperStation." They lose the NBC national broadcast appeal, but I don't think that matters in today's totally fragmented media landscape.
Wrestling fans will tune in no matter what, and it will lead to Conan. |

Ratings is ratings. WWE delivers those ratings higher than pretty much any other show on a week-to-week basis.
Live television and sports is the only thing that guarantees that for long term investment. |

The only thing that would make WWE not go to TBS is the coverage of MLB Playoffs and NBA Playoffs. And I will still watch the MLB Playoffs every year because I am a die-hard St. Louis Cardinals fan. No way they aren't making the playoffs every fucking year for the next ten years.

I hope that whoever they sign with, they don't have to wait a month to put replays on the network.

Is there seriously someone still calling it "The Federation"?
