NBCSN Departure Will Not Affect WWE’s Programming In Any Capacity
Following the announcement of NBC’s Sports Network shutting down by the end of 2021 with a large part of their content including NHL, EPL and NASCAR going to USA Network, fans were worried to what it could mean for Raw and specifically NXT, which takes place at the same time of some NHL games.
During the Q4 Earnings Call, WWE’s President and Chief Revenue Officer Nick Khan mentioned that the closure of NBCSN won’t affect WWE’s programming.
“We think it has no impact on us, the departure of NBC Sports Network” said Khan “There will be no affect on Raw or NXT.”
During a recent episode of the Wrestling Observer, Dave Meltzer noted that NXT’s contract with USA Network is set to expire in October of this year. WWE’s weekly programming is currently split over USA Network and FOX.
