WWE OTT Network

WWE announced tonight, Wednesday January 8, 2014, the launching of his OTT network at 9:00 a.m. ET on Monday, February 24 (2014 of course) at WWE.com.  OTT means over the top which mean an internet streaming a la Netflix.

WWE Network is the first-ever 24/7 streaming network, which will feature all 12 WWE live pay-per-view events – including WrestleMania. WWE Network will also include groundbreaking original programming, reality shows, documentaries, classic matches and more than 1,500 hours of video on demand at launch.

Inspired by the success of Netflix and limited by the restrictions of cable and satellite operators. WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon opted for an over the top OTT network.
