WWE Chief Strategy & Financial Officer George Barrios held a presentation at the Bernstein Global Future of Media & Telecom Summit in Boston on Tuesday and stated that WWE’s current TV deal with NBC Universal expires the first quarter of 2019. Barring any dramatic downturn in viewership, this is the earliest that we could see RAW going back to 2 hours.
WWE’s TV deals in the UK and India expire in the fourth quarter of that same year.
Barrios also noted that he could see the WWE Network offering multiple price tiers in the future.
