At the media call today (17. September), ESPN Older Vice President JT Lasker and Vice President of the Programming and Acquisition Matt Kenny discussed the new brand of the WWE, which starts this week with Saturday Hrstrapalosis Premium Live event.
Bordrov Sean Ross Sapp asked that the decision would lead to the use of the same day as AEV Everything PPV, and if that was something we should expect to see more in the future.
Using UFC as an example, Kenny said that the development of schedules is usually a long-lasting process that ESPN works for cooperation with partners. This will lead to the long term, but the short term most of their calendar is set for this year. With Vrestlepalooza, ESPN wanted a great September event. But for a sports media giant, scheduling that was more about the faculty in the Faculty of AEV.
“Really, it was less to do with any particular wrestling competition. In fact, we take a holistic view. Certainly in Pad on Saturday … there is no lack of football competition at the faculty throughout the day?
“We are now in the teeth of the football season, so we welcomed competition. We really approach access” Hey, in the game, and we are focused on what we can do in this particular case, on our platforms. “
Lasker then switched to take new functionality “Multi-display” ESPN application as the way users can watch Hrstrapalosis And the faculty of football at the service, indirectly ride home that AEV was not a great consideration in scheduling Saturday – at least at their end.
It generally aligns with what is the main officer in the main content of Paul “Triple H” Lewature said Pat McAfee Last week:
“The whole thing was quickly connected. ESPN was looking for a date, they wanted mega-event, we said that. We just had to choose the name and go.”
Return to today’s call, Kenny also said they wanted to start an agreement this month, because they launched their new ESPN app and unlimited streaming service instead of in January next year. But they did not play a role in the negotiations on the early exit of VVE from the break. The early start means that the agreement is over in September 2030. years, although:
“Our relationship is with VVE. We have no interaction, engagement, dialogue with Peacock on peacocks.
“I think for us is the most important thing that this decline has a boot event and so we really were excited about it, and when there was an opportunity that there was an opportunity to start starting our five-year-old relationship early.”
Ion Alba from Si.com is Takedown asked about ESPN requiring a specific talent for dance. Alba used Brock Lesnar, whose return to VVE was drawn online, because Lesnar called in the current sexual trade of civilian clothes filed against Vince McMahon & VVE former McMahon Girlfriend & Wve employed Janel Grant.
Kenny took Page from the book John price And he said ESPN leaves all those decisions at WVE:
“Our relationship with WVE is such where they have creative control. I think that we are part of the events. It is not all different relationships of other rights on other rights. It is also a slightly different from the fighting sport.
“But in terms of our relationship with VVE, they retain creative control – which we have built an incredible job for a long period of time. Because as much as I played about my VVE fandom at the top of the call, I don’t need to be sent out with that scenario.
“We’re excited about what they do, as they do and can’t wait Saturday.”
In less hot but not less interesting topics, question about ESPN adding VVE archives, Kenny showed that they are strictly focused on the current ple product:
“I think they are for us, the rights we have for premium livelihoods and will be called bank water (video on request) to take these events on our platforms, we will be able to offer these events at the request and so it will be available at our main library over time.
“But in terms of the wider library, I would like your question at WVE to deal. But we are excited to start a population, building, gathering a robust digital offer for VVE fans on our platforms.”
We will see if they have expanded the focus if bids on the older content of VVE heat.
