Multiple sources in the broadcast industry have confirmed that the CW Network and WWE have been in deep discussions for weeks about NXT shifting from its current basic cable home on the USA Network to a traditional broadcast television home, airing live weekly on the CW Network when the brand’s current media rights deal ends in September 2024.
WWE has since confirmed the news.
It won’t be soon, since they got bought by Nexstar it’s been cheap British or Canadian imports, reality TV, and some sports like LIV Golf, in 2025 they will have NASCAR’s lower series as well, and now NXT. They only air 4 of the original teen dramas that were on the network when they bought it and at least two of those are in their final years.
Appreciate the info. And that’s almost too bad. I’m not a fan of the CW teen dramas but I hate that so many channels are shifting towards low budget reality crap over serialized content. I get why they do it, I just hate that they do it.
