September 11, 2014

According to TheWrap.com, WWE is looking to transition away from its vast tape library.

While both Warner Bros. and WWE declined to comment on the story, the report notes two sources close to Warner Bros. have noted the studio is in talks to acquire the entire WWE library, which includes television shows, PPV events, and house shows dating back to the 1950’s.

WWE has about 150,000 hours of footage in its tape library, which is currently being held by Cinedigm. The Wrap report notes a source close to Cinedigm informed them there is currently no end date for WWE’s deal with Cinedigm, however the WWE Network hasn’t received enough monthly subscribers to make up for WWE’s lost pay-per-view orders.
