WWE Leaving German TV?
According to PWInsider.com, several German news outlets are reporting WWE’s current TV home in Germany, TELE 5 will not renew it’s current contract with WWE when it ends in March 2017. The decision was made despite the fact that Raw is one of the most successful shows on the network.
Additionally, General Manager and WWE VP Europe Stefan Kastenmüller has told local media that Smackdown might also be moving, as the current deal the show has with Pro7 Maxx also ends in March 2017.
Kastenmüller added WWE has a lot of interest from broadcast, digital and paid subscription channels in the German market and expects to sign a new deal shortly.
