WWE Suing International TV Partner
By: ChrissiCalvert Date: August 20, 2015, 4:17 pm

WWE has reportedly filed a lawsuit against CTH, their television
partner in Thailand and Malaysia, who has apparently stopped
paying their rights fees to WWE.
WWE signed a five-year deal for 2014 through 2018, for RAW,
SmackDown, Main Event, NXT, Superstars, Bottom Line, Vintage
Collection, Afterburn, This Week In WWE and all pay-per-view
events. The annual rights fees were to escalate, starting at
$2.8 million in 2014, to $3.64 million to 2015, $4.55 million in
2016, $5.69 million in 2017 and $6.83 million in 2018, bringing
the total value to $23.5 million.
One thing worth pointing out is that in the contract, and
possibly in other international contracts, is that RAW must be
three hours through the end of 2018, so WWE will likely have to
redo all of their international deals if for some reason that
ever changes. However, as of right now, USA Network ratings have
been declining overall, so WWE is becoming more valuable to the
network right now, not less.
