WWE Revenue Surge Short Of Q4 Profit

WWE Network had just over 1.2 million paid subscribers at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, a slight decline from the figure it reported at the end of the third quarter. In the United States, only Netflix, Amazon Video, Hulu and MLB.TV have larger subscription bases than WWE Network among “over-the-top” video services delivered to homes over the Internet rather than through cable and satellite TV providers, according to a Parks Associates study cited by WWE.
