Fox’s five-year deal for WWE, inked this past June, will find the wrestling franchise airing on the network every Friday year-’round beginning Oct. 4, 2019.
In the past year, Fox has also acquired Thursday Night Football and WWE SmackDown, fueling buzz that the network will rely less on scripted fare once its sister studio, 21st Century Fox, moves to Disney.
According to the Wall Street Journal, 21st Century Fox has inked a four-year deal with Premier Boxing Champions for the rights to carry fights on Fox as well as Fox Sports 1 cable channel and pay-per-view.
And the mix of programming will remain as it was the past decade.
