TEXT SIZE bigger text smaller text
World Wrestling Entertainment fans throughout
Canada will soon be getting their weekly doses of entertainment delivered in high definition. Beginning the week of January 21 on The
Score Television Network, WWE's Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown will be delivered in HD.

WWE will also broadcast its pay-per-views in HD, starting with Royal Rumble(R) on January 27. The company also built new sets for RAW and SmackDown
for their HD debuts.

WWE's switch to high-def was made possible by a series of upgrades to the company's television studio in Stamford, Conn. The $20 million HD renovations included refitting of equipment to broadcast WWE programming and global
pay-per-view programming in high definition on cable and satellite systems around the world. The WWE also worked with NEP Supershooters to build two new state-of-the-art production trucks, and will lease a custom transmission truck designed for HD transmission.

RAW and SmackDown are the number 1 and number 2 most watched programs on The Score. WWE programming reaches more than 1.5 million people each week in Canada.
