I'd say 2002-3. Back then you had 9 hours of wwe tv (RAW, SD, Velocity, Confidential, Bottom Line, Afterburn, and Heat). In comparison, not counting NXT, there's only 6 and a half hours of WWE tv now (RAW, Main Event, Smackdown, Saturday Morning Slam). Now one can argue that 6:30 is still too much (especially with 3 hours of RAW), but at least its not excess, and at least all four shows do provide original material (Bottom Line and Afterburn were recap shows, and Confidential was a magazine show).

WWE Superstars still airs internationally and on HULU Plus, and there's also Total Divas. Which makes it 8 and half hours (even though Saturday Morning Slam is a seasonal show that is only on for a few months of the year).
And NXT is so much of a WWE show now that I would include it as well, which would make it 9 and a half hours of WWE television a week.

NXT is on Hulu as well. It should count.

Superstars and NXT both air internationally, almost everywhere WWE has television besides the United States so counting those two shows, Raw, Smackdown, Main Event, Total Divas, Saturday Morning Slam, and AM Raw, WWE airs a stunning ten and a half hours of programming weekly with nine and a half of those hours being first run content.

There's also (at least) WWE En Espanol, Vintage Collection, WWE Afterburn, WWE Experience, WWE Bottom Line and This Week in WWE. They produce a staggering amount of programming, much of which doesn't air in USA. www.wwe.com/schedules/television/ And on top of that there's original content produced for WWE 24/7 and Youtube. |

Yep. Not much competition in the 2-3 a.m. timeslot. Though, I've always been curious to know the actual numbers and ratings it gets? I wouldn't be surprised if it was quite high. |

End of 2001 in the UK we had:
Raw (2 hours)
Smackdown (2 Hours)
Heat (1 Hour)
Metal (1 Hour)
Superstars (1 Hour)
Excess (2 hours)
WWF Classics (1 Hour)
Thats 10 hours, I thought iot was 11 as livewire was on as well but i checked on wiki and apparantly livewire was cancelled week before excess started. Also superstars and metal were the exact same matches but with different announcers and different Raw/Smackdown highlights (They used to air both of these shows in the same block on a Sunday morning, so we would see the same 3 matches twice over a 2 hour period)
We also got a different version of Heat with the WWF new york segments missing.
