Does Spike own a big chunk of the UFC? Does NBC own a big chunk of the NHL? Since when does being on tv mean the channel owns a part of whatever it is they're showing?

Since when does being on tv mean the channel owns a part of whatever it is they're showing? Since Dana said that's why the UFC turned down the deals with CBS that EliteXC accepted. Showtime and CBS both fall under the Viacom umbrella, and Showtime was a part owner in EliteXC. It seems controlling power is a tradeoff for these contracts, and UFC is unwilling to give it up.

About the authority these networks have, Showtime is why the third affliction show didn't happen 'cause they didn't feel they had the time to promote Vitor/Fedor. colonel_korn 09-24-2009, 07:24 PM Ray Sefo :handclap: Sefo's fighting on the Strikeforce Challengers card tomorrow, not the CBS show (as of yet, anyways). Morozov 09-25-2009, 04:23 AM Sefo's fighting on the Strikeforce Challengers card tomorrow, not the CBS show (as of yet, anyways). Ah, I see. Ty for that, need to make sure I see Sugarfoot in action ZeeGerman 09-28-2009, 09:54 AM Does this mean CBS owns a big chunk of Strikeforce? Does Spike own a big chunk of the UFC?

Showtime is owned and operated by CBS. | ||
