"After a successful decade of "SmackDown" on both UPN and The CW, World Wrestling Entertainment and The CW have agreed to conclude our partnership. Since The CW's exclusive negotiation period ran out as of last Thursday, January 31, we have been contacted and have been in negotiations with other networks. "WWE SmackDown" will continue to air on The CW until the conclusion of the 2007-08 broadcast season. We are grateful to Les Moonves, Dawn Ostroff, and their entire organization for bringing "WWE SmackDown" to millions of viewers for so many years." - WWE Corporate HQ
What network will take up SD! now?
MyTV? USA*?
*=Move it to Thursdays.

Well I bet all the people who said that ECW would get cancelled and all those guys would move to Smackdown feel a bit silly now.

If they move it back yo Thursday I'd start watching again.

If it's true, about goddamn time they left that sinking channel. Who the hell still watches CW for anything but SmackDown! anyway?

I did It's obvious CW isn't happy, otherwise they would've kept them around Not only that, they might get stuck with a terrible timeslot on another network that gets less viewership I have to believe that the quality of program has SOMETHING to do with this

...I'm not going to believe that this is true, unless Vince was REALLY that pissed off about Michael Hayes getting good ratings with his booking.
So...give us the link!
