Smackdown changes networks

A report by the LA Times suggests WWE is days away from announcing a network change for WWE Smackdown. Over the past decade Smackdown has been a mainstay on UPN and CW Network before making the move to MyNetworkTV in 2008. LA Times sources say Smackdown is moving to NBC Universal's Syfy, the same network that carries WWE NXT. The move could usher in a new partnership between NBC's Dick Ebersol and the upcoming WWE Network.

"Although terms were not disclosed, My Network TV was shelling out roughly $20 million a year for "Smackdown." Syfy's price tag is believed to be closer to $30 million a year.

Although "Smackdown" is more than 10 years old, it still does very well with men, particularly the 18-34 demographic, and generally averages about 3.5 million viewers overall. "Smackdown" will continue to air on Friday nights when it moves to Syfy later this year, most likely in either late September or early October." -LA Times

Going to Syfy is a bit of a downgrade for smackdown.

Sort of seems that way. But if it's the beginning of a partnership to help WWE's network in the future maybe it's not.

Not sure what channel SD comes on in the UK but here it is on MyNetworkTV and SyFy is a huge upgrade IMO.
