Syfy Channel has pinned a deal for "Smackdown."

World Wrestling Entertainment Inc’s "Smackdown," which for years was a mainstay on the UPN and CW networks before moving to News Corp.’s My Network TV, is now headed to NBC Universal’s Syfy Channel, people close to the situation said.
A deal, which will be announced later this week, further solidifies the growing relationship between NBC Universal and Vince McMahon’s WWE. Syfy already carries the show "NXT," which is a reality program featuring wannabe wrestlers trying to make it to the big leagues of WWE. NBC Universal’s USA cable channel also carries WWE programming including "WWE Raw."

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.

WWE is still looking to launch its own cable network, probably sometime in 2011. This latest deal with NBC Universal is another sign that the two could end up partnering on such a channel. WWE chief Vince McMahon has close relationships with NBC Universal brass, particularly Dick Ebersol, who oversees all

NEW YORK (Reuters) – First lady Michelle Obama beat out heads of state, chief executives and celebrities to rank as the world’s most powerful woman in Forbes magazine’s annual listing on Wednesday.
Kraft Foods Chief Executive Irene Rosenfeld, who led a hostile $18 billion takeover of Britain’s Cadbury, came in second, followed by talk show host and media mogul Oprah Winfrey, who is ending "The Oprah Winfrey Show" next year after 25 years to launch her cable network OWN.

I don’t really like Michelle Obama anyways *shrugs*

Needs to be easy to set up and cheap as possible. The aim is to help people share stories in a private atmosphere with like minded people!

Also i would like to have a feature where you have to be invited into the community rather than free for everyone to join
Thanks for the answers so far all look great so far! I have also found: www.socialengine.net has anyone used them before??

Al Jazeera (Arabic: الجزيرة, al-ğazīrä, [al.dʒaˈziː.ra], meaning "The Island", referring to the Arabic name for the Arabian Peninsula) is a television network headquartered in Doha, Qatar. Initially launched as an Arabic news and current affairs satellite TV channel with the same name, Al Jazeera has since expanded into a network with several outlets, including the Internet and specialty TV channels in multiple languages, and in several regions of the world.

The original Al Jazeera channel’s willingness to broadcast dissenting views, including on call-in shows, created controversies in Persian Gulf States. The station gained worldwide attention following the September 11, 2001 attacks, when it broadcast video statements by Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaeda leaders (see Videos of Osama bin Laden).

It is a state run news station so will be a mouth peace for the Emir. That being said, it would add a different perspective to things IF people would actually watch it and if they were smart enough to realize what the station is.

Vince McMahon is making plans to launch a WWE Television Network in 2011. What I don’t understand is how would this entire network actually operate? They would need to air shows 24/7, 365 days a year and they surely dont have near enough footage or possible programs to fill the time.

Third Of Five is right. Vince McMahon owns enough tape libraries from the dozens of promotions he put out of business in the 80’s and 90’s to be able to sustain an entire Network channel for years and years. But it wouldn’t be a different show every hour (or two); the shows would get repeated several times throughout a day, I would imagine, so as to not exhaust his inventory for a long time.

I’m thinking such a venture would expand on wwe.com’s "Classics on Demand" (I think it’s called), in that Vince would charge a subscription rate to access this channel to see all of this wrestling history. It would be like a permanent PPV channel, where you pay for a month’s programming (or longer) at once. I would imagine there would be non-WWE PPV events (such as Starrcade and Super Clash) in the mix, as well. Depending on the subscription price, this would be a very worthwhile thing for fans of wrestling history, and those curious about other promotions, wrestlers, and events they’ve only heard about but haven’t seen.

I heard about it on the radio, and this is the only website I came across about it.

Is this legitimately launched by Justin Bieber and usher? I’m curious as to whether this is going to become as big as facebook. Does anyone know about it?

I also heard about it on the radio and signed up myself! Everything looks legit! From the looks of it and how the site is setup it has the potential to be way bigger then any social network I’ve been on! Seriously I think this is the future, they’ve out done themselves!
