According to an Associated Press report this evening, “millions” could be without The CW Network from next week, meaning WWE fans in several markets across America may be unable to watch Smackdown on Friday nights.
Comcast are at loggerheads with the Sinclair Broadcasting Group, with Sinclair wanting Comcast to pay for the rights to retransmit the CW’s content in several markets, and Comcast refusing to pay for “free” content. If an agreement isn’t reached by the end of this evening, Sinclair could leave Comcast subscribers without CW programming from next week
