Could WWE Go to Netflix?
During a media conference all in August, Co-CEO Nick Khan discussed the possibility of live WWE programming moving to a streaming service instead of network television or cable. Netflix was brought up as a potential bidder.ย
“On Netflix, we’ve been saying on these calls for many months that we believe Netflix is looking to enter the live space. We got confirmation of that this past quarter when Netflix made a bid for the rights for Formula 1. We believe Netflix’s appetite for live (programming) will only increase after the introduction of their ad tier. As we all know, the strongest CPMs are those sold against live programming,” Khan said.ย
