4. FOX Eliminating WWE Backstage As A Weekly Show
WWE SmackDown moved to FOX last October. Along with that, WWE also introduced Backstage on FS1, which airs every Tuesday night. FS1 airs a lot of other WWE related content from time to time.
However, Backstage may no longer be airing weekly anymore.
John Ourand of the Sports Business Journal reported that FS1 is planning not to produce Backstage weekly.
“FS1 is scaling back production on its Boxing and WWE shoulder programming. WWE Backstage will not longer be produced weekly. It is eliminating Inside PBC. Double digit job losses as a result.”
