FOX Sports Announces "WWE Backstage" on FS1
FOX Sports Announces "WWE Backstage" on FS1
The hour-long, weekly show offers viewers the latest WWE news every Tuesday at 11:00/10:C00c, beginning Tuesday, November 5 on FS1.
[via press release from FOX Sports] FOX SPORTS ANNOUNCES "WWE BACKSTAGE" ON FS1
Airs Tuesdays at 11:00 PM ET/8:00 PM PT, Beginning Nov. 5
Hosted by Renee Young and Studio Analyst Booker T
Special Preview Airs Tuesday, Oct. 15, Following ALCS Game 3 on FS1
Los Angeles - SmackDown moves from Tuesdays to Fridays beginning Friday, Oct. 4 at 8:00 PM ET/PT on FOX, but WWE fans can still get their Tuesday night fix with FS1's WWE BACKSTAGE, television's only studio show devoted to all things WWE.
The hour-long, weekly show offers viewers the latest WWE news every Tuesday at 11:00 PM ET/8:00 PM PT, beginning Tuesday, Nov. 5 on FS1.
Longtime WWE broadcaster Renee Young and WWE Hall of Famer Booker T weigh in on the biggest stories in WWE, and are joined by a rotating cast of guests and personalities, including current and former WWE Superstars.
Ahead of WWE BACKSTAGE's Nov. 5 debut, FOX Sports offers a special preview of the show on Tuesday, Oct. 15, following the conclusion of the ALCS Game 3 on FS1. Young and Booker T are joined by special guests to reveal the WWE BACKSTAGE set at the FOX Studios Lot in Los Angeles, and to break in their brand-new ring.
A Toronto native, Young began her broadcast career with The Score in 2009, before making her WWE television debut in 2012. Since then, she rose quickly through the ranks, interviewing all the top stars in the WWE and co-hosting the post-SmackDown show "Talking Smack" on WWE Network. In 2018, she earned a full-time spot on the Monday Night Raw broadcast team, the first woman to ever achieve the honor. Young's on-air roles continue to expand as one of WWE's most prominent personalities.
"WWE BACKSTAGE is a wrestling show for wrestling fans. From hardcore fans to people new to wrestling, we'll give them a little bit of everything," said Young. "It's going to be fun, it's going to be loud, we're going to give them a ton of opinions and I can't wait to help spread the word about SmackDown coming to FOX."
A two-time WWE Hall of Famer, Booker T is one of the most-decorated Superstars in history with 11 WCW Tag Team Championships, six World Championships and a victory in the 2006 King of the Ring Tournament. He made the transition from the broadcast booth in 2011, and has become a staple of WWE telecasts ever since.
"It's awesome being part of the FOX family and part of this movement of FRIDAY NIGHT SMACKDOWN to FOX," said Booker T. "FOX Sports has always been the one-stop shop for sports and now it's going to be that one-stop shop for sports and entertainment. I think this is going to be a tag team that's going to last for a long time, and one that cannot lose. As I always say, now can you dig it, sucka?"
More information on WWE BACKSTAGE, including additional on-air personalities and special guests, will be announced at a later date.

WWE(R) Secures Multi-Year Media Rights Deals with USA Network and Fox Sports
WWE(R) Secures Multi-Year Media Rights Deals with USA Network and Fox Sports
As part of these five-year agreements, "Monday Night Raw" will continue to air on USA Network; and Fox Sports will distribute "SmackDown Live" each Friday on Fox broadcast network.
[via press release from WWE] WWE(R) Secures Multi-Year Media Rights Deals with USA Network and Fox Sports
STAMFORD, Conn. -- WWE (NYSE:WWE) today announced that it has completed landmark agreements with USA Network and Fox Sports, effective October 1, 2019, for the U.S. distribution of WWE's flagship programs Raw and SmackDown. As part of these five-year agreements, Monday Night Raw will continue to air on USA Network; and Fox Sports will distribute SmackDown Live each Friday on Fox broadcast network. These agreements increase the average annual value (AAV) of WWE's U.S. distribution to 3.6 times that of the prior deal with NBCU.
"Key Content Agreements" - Top 7 Countries/ Regions (Exhibit 1)
Since the completion of its previous U.S. distribution agreement for Raw and SmackDown in 2014, the Company has discussed the deal's financial impact by describing the growth of WWE's seven largest television distribution agreements, of which that deal is a significant part. These "key content agreements"1, provided $105 million of contractual revenue growth from 2014 to 2018, increasing from $130 million in 2014 to approximately $235 million in 2018.
The monetization of content is a fundamental element of the Company's business model, and the new agreements with USA Network and Fox Sports will provide a sizeable increase in the average annual value of WWE's U.S. distribution. WWE management anticipates that revenue from "key content agreements" including the new U.S. deals, described as "Existing and New Agreements" revenue in Exhibit 1, will grow to approximately $311 million in 2019 and $462 million in 2021.2 The Company has other agreements that are subject to renewal in the 2019 - 2021 period, which are described as "To Be Negotiated," and their revenue subsequent to renewal is not ascertainable. For illustrative purposes, the related amounts in Exhibit 1 reflect no future change in annual revenue (i.e. all future years are held equal to the value of the last year in the current agreements). This approach, which indicates revenue of $3 million in 2019 and $80 million in 2021, does not quantify management expectations and is used solely to reflect future risk or opportunity. As shown in Exhibit 1, revenue from the Company's "key content agreements" would increase to $314 million in 2019 and $542 million in 2021.
Core Content Revenue - All Global Markets (Exhibit 2)
Core content revenue, as shown in the Company's reported financial statements, consists primarily of licensing revenues earned from the global distribution of its flagship programs, Raw and SmackDown. By definition, the Company's core content revenue includes the subset of license fees associated with its top 7 countries/ regions ("key content agreements") as described above. WWE management anticipates that revenue from its core content agreements that extend through 2019 and subsequent years, described as "Existing and New Agreements" revenue in Exhibit 2, will grow to approximately $331 million in 2019 and $462 million in 2021.2 The Company has other agreements that are subject to renewal in the 2019 - 2021 period, which are described as "To Be Negotiated," and their revenue subsequent to renewal is not ascertainable. For illustrative purposes, the related amounts in Exhibit 2 reflect no future change in annual revenue (i.e. all future years are held equal to the value of the last year in the current agreements). This approach, which indicates revenue of $17 million in 2019 and $114 million in 2021, does not quantify management expectations and is used solely to reflect future risk or opportunity. As shown in Exhibit 2, total revenue from the Company's core content agreements would increase to $348 million in 2019 and $576 million in 2021.
Financial Outlook 2019
The Company is in the early stages of developing its operating and financial plans for 2019 and subsequent years. Given the substantial revenue growth provided by its new U.S. deals, the Company is currently targeting Adjusted OIBDA of at least $200 million for 2019, during which the new deals' rates are effective for only three months.3
Management recognizes the transformative nature of these agreements and expects to provide additional long-term perspective on the Company's strategic and financial goals after its content distribution plans in the U.S., U.K. and India have been determined and its plans have further evolved. Management currently expects to reach agreement in the U.K. by year-end 2018; and in India during the first half of 2019. Although these agreements could be secured either before or after these dates, management believes that these ranges represent the most likely periods for such communication.
Additional Information
WWE will host a conference call at 8:00 a.m. ET on June 27 to discuss the contents of this release. All interested parties are welcome to listen to a live web cast that will be hosted through the Company's web site at corporate.wwe.com/investors.

[via press release from WWE] WWE(R) Secures Multi-Year Media Rights Deals with USA Network and Fox Sports
STAMFORD, Conn. -- WWE (NYSE:WWE) today announced that it has completed landmark agreements with USA Network and Fox Sports, effective October 1, 2019, for the U.S. distribution of WWE's flagship programs Raw and SmackDown. As part of these five-year agreements, Monday Night Raw will continue to air on USA Network; and Fox Sports will distribute SmackDown Live each Friday on Fox broadcast network. These agreements increase the average annual value (AAV) of WWE's U.S. distribution to 3.6 times that of the prior deal with NBCU.
"Key Content Agreements" - Top 7 Countries/ Regions (Exhibit 1)
Since the completion of its previous U.S. distribution agreement for Raw and SmackDown in 2014, the Company has discussed the deal's financial impact by describing the growth of WWE's seven largest television distribution agreements, of which that deal is a significant part. These "key content agreements"1, provided $105 million of contractual revenue growth from 2014 to 2018, increasing from $130 million in 2014 to approximately $235 million in 2018.
The monetization of content is a fundamental element of the Company's business model, and the new agreements with USA Network and Fox Sports will provide a sizeable increase in the average annual value of WWE's U.S. distribution. WWE management anticipates that revenue from "key content agreements" including the new U.S. deals, described as "Existing and New Agreements" revenue in Exhibit 1, will grow to approximately $311 million in 2019 and $462 million in 2021.2 The Company has other agreements that are subject to renewal in the 2019 - 2021 period, which are described as "To Be Negotiated," and their revenue subsequent to renewal is not ascertainable. For illustrative purposes, the related amounts in Exhibit 1 reflect no future change in annual revenue (i.e. all future years are held equal to the value of the last year in the current agreements). This approach, which indicates revenue of $3 million in 2019 and $80 million in 2021, does not quantify management expectations and is used solely to reflect future risk or opportunity. As shown in Exhibit 1, revenue from the Company's "key content agreements" would increase to $314 million in 2019 and $542 million in 2021.
Core Content Revenue - All Global Markets (Exhibit 2)
Core content revenue, as shown in the Company's reported financial statements, consists primarily of licensing revenues earned from the global distribution of its flagship programs, Raw and SmackDown. By definition, the Company's core content revenue includes the subset of license fees associated with its top 7 countries/ regions ("key content agreements") as described above. WWE management anticipates that revenue from its core content agreements that extend through 2019 and subsequent years, described as "Existing and New Agreements" revenue in Exhibit 2, will grow to approximately $331 million in 2019 and $462 million in 2021.2 The Company has other agreements that are subject to renewal in the 2019 - 2021 period, which are described as "To Be Negotiated," and their revenue subsequent to renewal is not ascertainable. For illustrative purposes, the related amounts in Exhibit 2 reflect no future change in annual revenue (i.e. all future years are held equal to the value of the last year in the current agreements). This approach, which indicates revenue of $17 million in 2019 and $114 million in 2021, does not quantify management expectations and is used solely to reflect future risk or opportunity. As shown in Exhibit 2, total revenue from the Company's core content agreements would increase to $348 million in 2019 and $576 million in 2021.
Financial Outlook 2019
The Company is in the early stages of developing its operating and financial plans for 2019 and subsequent years. Given the substantial revenue growth provided by its new U.S. deals, the Company is currently targeting Adjusted OIBDA of at least $200 million for 2019, during which the new deals' rates are effective for only three months.3
Management recognizes the transformative nature of these agreements and expects to provide additional long-term perspective on the Company's strategic and financial goals after its content distribution plans in the U.S., U.K. and India have been determined and its plans have further evolved. Management currently expects to reach agreement in the U.K. by year-end 2018; and in India during the first half of 2019. Although these agreements could be secured either before or after these dates, management believes that these ranges represent the most likely periods for such communication.
