WWE TV Network: Coming 2012

Two years after beginning to talk about WWE TV Network plans in interviews and stockholder/investor meetings, WWE formally announced plans for a WWE Network their viewing audience on Monday's Raw episode.

A video advertisement announced WWE Network will launch in 2012, but the month or season was not announced. WWE has said in previous investor meetings they're aiming for summer/fall 2012 - within the next year.

Broadcasting & Cable, a TV industry publication, quickly picked up on news of the TV announcement. B&C wrote: "No launch date was given in the promos, rather it just said the network would be coming in 2012. The ads included a mix of classic (think Andre The Giant) and current wrestling clips."

Shortly after the announcement, WWE issued a news release on their website promoting the Network:

As millions of WWE Universe members witnessed while watching WWE Raw SuperShow Monday night, something big is coming to WWE that will change not just the squared circle, but all of entertainment.

It’s the WWE Network. And, as the world learned this week, it’s on its way in 2012. All we know is that it’ll be a brand new day for watching the greatest matches, moments and Superstars in sports-entertainment history.
