From Eric Bischoff, WCW Owner
WCW is pleased to announce new television deals to show Nitro in Mexico on Azteca 7, in the British Isles on E4, on the Sportsnet family of networks throughout Canada, and RTL in Europe beginning August 1. WCW has extended the television contract with J Sports 1 in Japan and pay-per-view coverage on iN DEMAND and Samurai! TV. These new deals with improved time slots will help us continue being a legitimate competitive alternative to ‘sports entertainment’ and shows the wrestling world that WCW is back and here to stay. In addition, after talks with all of WCW’s broadcasters, Nitro will be broadcasting for two hours beginning the Monday night after the Great American Bash.
From the dirt sheets
Pro wrestling insiders said WCW’s broadcasters are pleased with the new focus and direction of World Championship Wrestling and Nitro, which will remain on Monday nights for the near future.
