The Latest On A WWE TV Network Inside Here

I apologize for the lack of news over the past few hours as the power has been out here in the office. It’s a good thing we didn’t do WZR!

According to Reuters, WWE Chief Operating Officer Donna Goldsmith said today that the proposed WWE TV network is now not scheduled to happen until mid-2012 at the earliest, and maybe even early 2013.

Goldsmith said, “It’s taken us longer to galvanize the troops and figure out where we’re going. My guess is more like the middle of 2012 or even the beginning of 2013 before we’re ready to go forward.”

No word on advertisers, but Goldsmith said that the pay-TV operators will likely own a stake in the network.

Goldsmith also noted that Linda McMahon is not scheduled to return to WWE anytime soon.
