BoD Daily Update

WWE Network Update

This past Saturday, PWInsider.com reported that they have heard from a few sources within the WWE that have stated the plan for the network’s launch is in the first quarter of 2014. One person even told Dave Scherer that the planned date was February 24th, the day after the Elimination Chamber, but he did not hear that specific date from anyone else. Since that report, WWE has released a statement:

“As discussed on WWE’s last earnings call, we continue to aggressively pursue the launch of a WWE Network in 2014 via traditional and non-traditional distribution models; however no launch date has been confirmed.”

It should also be noted that the WWE has an Earnings Conference Call scheduled on 10/31 and there might be an update on the network then.
