Hi Bubba here, as I was looking something up for someone else, I noticed that USA and CNBC will be sharing coverage of this year's event.

USA couldn't give less about Vince. Vince is the one reliant on getting the television deals since the television deal will cost the USA network money, so it won't matter to them whether they pay for WWE or another product.

Hi,
I am not happy either that USA has split the broadcast of the Westminster. I think a lot of fans are unaware of what is going to happen on Dog Show Monday, and they are going to be VERY upset, I know I am! Shame on USA for doing this! Maybe another network needs to pick the show up, I'm certainly going to mention this at the Westminster site if I can. sad.gif

That is really not cool. The WKC Dog Show dates are usually known well in advance (although I know next year's date has been changed, and I think changed back already). Bumping the the show for wrestling is insulting. I may have liked pro wrestling when I was a kid in the 70's, but since then, I can't find a remote and change the channel fast enough.

It would be nice if another network would pick the show up, especially if it broadcasts it live on the west coast as well as the east! It would be so nice to see the dog show live, AND get a decent night's sleep.

Count me in among the people disappointed with USA. I've always watched the coverage on USA and look forward to it each year. We're wrestling fans, but we can see that every week. This is a once per year event. I wouldn't be surprised is AKC goes elsewhere in the future.
Bad move USA mad.gif

Agreed - I didn't realize that CNBC was "sharing" coverage tonight - and was WAY annoyed when coverage was bumped for wrestling!

What about people such as myself who do not have CNBC! I am furious, what moron thought this was a good idea? I have watched the dog show for 25 years, and i have never missed a show, and now i am missing two groups and two hours, you have got to be kidding me! Not everyone has cnbc.

What made me even madder than having the switch the channel was ALL the commercials!!! I was actually able to watch American Idol and coverage of the presidential race and still get to see most of the dogs. I was infruiated!!!
