Conflicting Reports On The WWE Network In The UK Plans

UPDATE: Yesterday it was reported that a Sky Sports customer service representative informed one of their customers that the WWE Network will be launched as a Sky TV channel.

There is conflicting information on the Network plans for the UK. Now, Sky TV is saying that some customers were given “incorrect information regarding Sky’s involvement with the new WWE channel” and that the WWE Network is “not operated” by Sky. Based on the reports and fan emails we’ve been receiving, people who have been contacting Sky TV are getting all sorts of different replies. It’s very clear from the responses that Sky TV reprehensive are not all on the same page. It all depends on which rep replies to your email.

Nonetheless, we can confirm that WWE is still in negotiations with Sky TV and that appears to be the reason for the hold up as of now.

More on the story as it develops…

ORIGINAL: The WWE Network was scheduled to launch in the UK earlier this week, but fans were left disappointed when the launch was delayed. There was a lot of talk regarding why the delay happened, and all of it was related to negotiations with Sky TV. Sky TV is the home of WWE programming in the UK, and still runs the PPVs there.

A Sky Sports customer service representative informed one of their readers that WWE Network will be launched as a Sky TV channel. The representative stated the following…

“Yes, we will launch it as a channel with Sky TV. Currently we don’t have any details but it will be going to be soon… And you will be notified by adv, email or call.”

This will be similar to the Canadian model, in that it will be a channel, but there is no other information available at this time. The Canadian version, through Rogers Cable, airs the schedule of streaming content and offers limited OnDemand content.
