WWFE realigns weekend programming!

[Fallon]

WWFE will debut a two-hour magazine-format show on Saturday nights on TNN starting August 25. The new show will air from 10 p.m. - midnight and will replace WWFE's two weekend morning shows on TNN, "LiveWire" on Saturdays and "Superstars" on Sundays in the United States. "LiveWire" and "Superstars" will continue to be produced for international markets.

"The Saturday night slot affords us the opportunity to more precisely target our most avid fans -- our core demographic of 18-to-34 year olds," said WWFE President and COO Stuart Snyder. It also gives WWFE additional diversity in program format, he added, noting that the company will now have a magazine-style format to complement its live event-based programs ("Raw Is War" on TNN, "SmackDown!" on UPN), live programs ("Sunday Night Heat" on MTV) and reality-based programming ("WWF Tough Enough" on MTV).

WWFE will announce the name and host (or hosts) of the new Saturday night show soon.

"LiveWire" began airing in September 1996 and "Superstars" debuted in September 1986. With the changes, WWFE will still have nine hours of original domestic programming each week. (http://www.WWF.com)

It's good to two shows that children are able to be watched on weekends will be replaced by a show no one will watch.

It's good to two shows that children are able to be watched on weekends will be replaced by a show no one will watch.

No one was watching Livewire or Superstars, it has hit rock bottom in it's ratings reaching only in the 0.8's to the 1.1's compared to RAW's usual 4.9's and 5.5's.

The PTC are always attacking the WWF about showcasing to children, well now they won't have a morning show to bitch about (though they'll still bitch).

Wrestling is fake.

Who said it was real? The biz has changed it's now "Sports Entertainment".

They are athletes (for the most part) who act. The shows have storylines just like any play or sitcom, the climax just happens to be in a ring.

WWF is the #1 basic cable program in the US, they had over 7 million people watching TNN (yeah TNN!) on Monday.

The WWF is also brings in about 90% of the pay-per-view revnue each year, w/o the WWF PPV would be dead.
