– WWE announced today that the WWE Network currently has 731,000 subscribers. This is an addition of just 31,000 subscribers from the third quarter.
WWE noted that they have added 30,000 international subscribers since opening in those countries this summer.
WWE commented in their release, “Subscriber growth reflected the acquisition of 286,000 subscribers, which was 71% above the gross subscriber additions in the period between April 7 (the day after Wrestlemania) and June 30 (WWE Network added 182,000 gross subscribers during the April 1- April 6 period, which included Wrestlemania). Through September 30, WWE Network had attracted approximately 971,000 unique subscribers with 75% of these subscribers active as of that date.”
Going forward, WWE will be offering the WWE Network for $9.99 per month with no commitment. This begins with December. WWE commented, “The new pricing structure reflects management’s belief in the broad appeal of WWE Network content and is comparable to that of other subscription-based content platforms including Netflix and Hulu Plus.”
They also announced a promotion where new subscribers who sign up in November will receive that month for free.
