USA Network President Talks Smackdown Move

Variety.com recently interviewed USA Network President Chris McCumber, and he has the following to say regarding WWE Smackdown moving to the channel next year.

“WWE is such an iconic American brand, it feels thematically right to have their two biggest properties on USA Network. Having more live programing is a good thing for this network. Having SmackDown and doubling down on WWE is important to us. Partnering with NBC Sports Group to bring Stanley Cup playoff hockey to USA is important move for us. You’ll likely see over the next year more announcements about live sports on USA.”
