The future of WWE SmackDown might be at stake of losing a lot of its United States audience. According to an article in The Baltimore Sun, Sinclair Broadcast Group, a group which supplies Fox and CW content to many Comcast cable systems around the country, is now looking at charging for there service which up until now has been provided for free. On the one hand, if they decide to charge and Comcast pulls them they will lose a lot of their audience and it will be extremely hard to sell advertisements on those networks. On the other hand, if they do decide to charge and Comcast pays the fee, other cable systems will be faced with having to pay, therefore more issues of Fox and CW being pulled across the nation will arise. Sinclair’s deal with Comcast expired on March 1st but an extension was negotiated up until March 10th.

Not good news at all. Smackdown has made so many great strides this is very concerning. Might mean no more Smackdown.
