behind-the-scenes coverage, wrestler profiles and more.
Beginning this month, Comcast Digital Cable customers can subscribe to

world's largest wrestling library of more than seventy five thousand hours
of programs from the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment), NWA (National

championship bouts to up-close profiles of the stars that bring wrestling
to life, WWE 24/7 brings fans an unprecedented look at their favorite
sport.
"Comcast's ON DEMAND service has transformed the way people watch
television, and WWE 24/7 will do the same for the millions of wrestling
fans across the country," said Page Thompson, Senior Vice President and

history of the WWE and enjoy their favorite moments whenever they want."
Added Shane McMahon, WWE Executive Vice President, Global Media, "Now,

Superstars from yesteryear. WWE 24/7 On Demand will bring The Iron Sheik,
Sgt. Slaughter, Jesse Ventura and Greg Valentine back to life for the
seasoned fans and introduce our massive archive of rarely seen material to
a whole new generation. This is the first of many ways we hope to bring
more new content to our fans with partners like Comcast."

-- Shorties - a collection of epic feuds, infamous promos, parodies and
more.
This month, the WWE 24/7 On Demand spotlight shines on the greatest
international wrestling superstars of all time, including Hall of Fame
legend Nikolai Volkoff. Programming is updated each month, so fans can
always find new selections from the best in classic and current wrestling

 | Manhattan And don't forget Cablevision Call 516-364-8400 on Long Island Listen if you don't get WWE 24/7, just call your cable company and keep asking for it. I received this letter after posting this article: Hi Georgie, I saw your posting about WWE 24/7 not being here in NY & you mentioned Cablevision of L.I.'s #, well I figured I'd let you know about Cablevision of NYC [which covers the Bronx & some parts of Brooklyn, especially where I live]. The # for that is 718-617-3500, just figured you'd like to know. And yes you're right, we all should continue to call & email both Time Warner & Cablevision, I've been emailing Cablevision every month via this link: http://cablevision.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/cablevision.cfg/php/enduser/ask.php And every month they tell me that they'll give my suggestion to the powers that be & they'll let me know. Let's just continue to have our fingers crossed & hope it'll become a reality for all of us, take care. Jeff | |
