Raw Changing Channels?

[Shelyuki]

Spike TV announced today in a press release that they have closed negotiations with WWE about renewing a deal.

We are now under the assumption that RAW, Heat, Velocity and Experience will be moving to the USA network in September of this year.

"After several months of negotiations, we have decided to end our discussions about extending our relationship with WWE beyond September 2005," wrote Spike TV in a press release. "Moving forward, Spike TV will expand its investments in original programming and new acquisitions for its core audience."

USA appears to be the only major cable option for Raw, as TNT, TBS and FX have all confirmed no negotiations.

I think it would be stupid of Spike TV to let go of one of its most popular shows.

I think this is a reaaaaaaaaaaally bad move for Spike. Are there any shows of their's rated higher?

[Jordan]

Bad move indeed. I really don't think there is a show that has a higher rating...

Yeah it's definitely one of their highest ranking shows. In September it'll (once again) become one of USA's most popular.
