As we noted earlier today, WWE has met with several top networks to begin a feel out process before the company is legally able to begin TV negotiations.
World Wrestling Entertainment’s television deal with NBCU will expire in the fall of 2019, and the negotiating window is drawing near should the company look to discuss potential deals wit other networks. As of now, NBCU has an exclusive negotiating window with WWE, which expires at the end of the spring of 2018, meaning WWE is not legally allowed to negotiate contract points or rights fees with anyone outside of NBCU.
