WWE network details...

Posted by Remlik (aka remlik) Feb 28 '13, 08:34

Barrios pushed the idea that the company owning and monetizing their own content for the WWE Network, etc. is their best asset. There is a belief that content value will rise 5-14% a year in the future. He said they are uniquely positioned as they have a mix of story and character driven content as well as live sports-esque programming.

Barrios described the WWE Network as a "premium network", so it's going to be a paid subscription channel. He said that model would be the best approach for the network, which he described as a "domestic" network. They estimated they would eventually have 2-4 million subscribers. The Network would feature all PPVs except Wrestlemania and the PPVs would also be offered via their traditional means for non-subscribers.

Responses:

If it's going to include all the ppv's does that mean it's going to be $50/month? I think that will be a hard sell for them even from fans. -- nm - pmb Feb 28, 08:59 3
- My gut will be $15 or so; assuming many of their fans truly only buy 2-3 PPVs a year outside of WM, if that. - Will Hunting Feb 28, 09:01 2
  - At $15 I'm in. I probably do 4 or 5 ppv's year. -- nm - pmb Feb 28, 09:03 1
    - If it gets much more than that, i'm not sure how many people will come along for the ride.... - Will Hunting Feb 28, 09:08
I mean, Glenn Beck has a network. -- nm - Qale Feb 28, 08:37
If successful, that's going to make them crazy amounts money -- nm - decline Feb 28, 08:37 1
