WWE has issued the following press release:
Stamford, Conn., June 19, 2019 – WWE (NYSE: WWE) today announced a multi-year agreement to continue broadcasting WWE’s weekly flagship programming live on FOX Sports in Latin America.
In addition to airing Raw and SmackDown Live, each week FOX will also air the localized production, WWE Saturday Night, as well as Main Event and NXT. The new partnership also includes one-hour versions of Raw and SmackDown, and plans for a new 30-minute localized highlights show.
"We are pleased to extend our agreement and continue delivering action-packed, family-friendly entertainment to our passionate fans in the region," said Joaquin Del Rivero, WWE Vice President & General Manager, Latin America.
A thirty minute version of RAW and SmackDown Live? That sounds pretty ideal right now given how poor WWE's creative has been lately but deals like this show why the company is going nowhere any time soon as the real money is, of course, in TV deals such as these nowadays.
