Australia’s Foxtel Group, which is majority-owned by News Corp., has set an expanded rights deal for the WWE in Australia, including a streaming shift reminiscent of the wrestling outfit’s U.S. alliance with Peacock.
The WWE Network, formerly a stand-alone streaming service, will be subsumed into Binge, a Foxtel outlet. The companies did not disclose any terms for the new multi-year agreement, which also encompasses linear TV, but a person familiar with the deal said it marks a significant increase over the prior one reached by the parties in 2017. The total footprint is about 4.5 million subscribers on Foxtel as well as streaming outlets Kayo Sports and Binge.
Under the deal, Foxtel will launch a dedicated, 24/7 WWE channel, which will be a venue for all premium live events. Those WWE events, which used to cost as much as 30 apiece on a pay-per-view basis, will also be included at no extra charge on Fox8,...
