Important PPV & VOD Scheduling Update
Tuesday, May 22, 2007ROH’s first pay-per-view, “Respect Is Earned,” will now air this July and August. Here is the latest scheduling info:
DISH: The premiere date is Sunday, July 1st. The time will be determined. DISH plans at least 10 replays over the month of July and there is a possibility for even more. “Respect Is Earned” could also be an all day DISH PPV Ticket, meaning it is available to order 24 hours a day.
TVN: “Respect Is Earned” will premiere on Sunday, July 8th at 8pm. There will be replays throughout July and Video On Demand (VOD) the entire month of August.
iN DEMAND: ROH’s first PPV will air on Friday, July 20th at 8pm. There will be PPV replays throughout July and August. VOD will be available in early August and run until the end of the month. This means you can order “Respect Is Earned” anytime you want once it goes on VOD.
“Each partner is licensed to carry the event beginning July 1,” Ken Gelman of G-Funk Sports & Entertainment said, “and run it through July and August, until the next one is available in September. Due to each partner’s PPV and VOD schedules, it is their decision when and how often to schedule our events in these given windows. The same will hold true for future events. Like this note, as soon as we receive scheduling confirmation from our partners for future events, we will inform our fans.”
Look for a list of cable affiliates for iN DEMAND and TVN soon on ROHwrestling.com.
