PWInsider.com is reporting that as of now WWE is leaning towards having the WWE Network channel be a premium channel similar to how HBO works.
Customers would pay one monthly fee to have the channel. Reportedly, WWE feels this will be more successful versus having providers such as Comcast or Time Warner pay WWE a fee to have the rights to carry the channel. WWE will then be able to immediately start collecting revenue from subscribers signing up for the channel.
