Episode 242: Channel 4 and The WWF
Feb 200:56:59Tap to summarizeThe WWF was one of the big pop culture touchstones of the late 90's. With that comes vested interest from broadcasters to bring it to a wider television audience. Sky Sports were the main channel of WWF in the UK for a long time, but only to a select few who had access to cable television. Come late 1999, Channel 4 wanted to bring the product to terrestrial television for the first time and struck a deal with the WWF, only for them to instantly regret that decision. Find out why as Sam and Riordan discuss the weird time of Channel 4 and the World Wrestling Federation.
