TV Deals

Will they work just like TEW, where you have a weekly show and have to put it on every week? Or will it be more like the UFC's current deal, where they sign on for a set number of shows over the course of a period of time?

Having Ultimate Fight Night every week would get pretty old.

I'd hope it aint every week, not only would doing it every week get old, but you'd also run out of fresh matchups eventually.

Having the option to do weekly shows in the form of UFC unleashed would be awesome.

If there was some way you could select shows from your archive, then air them. It would be a good way to get exposure for stars and increase their momentum a little before upcoming fights.

Say you have Chuck Liddell fighting Randy Couture, you do two weeks worth of shows, one focusing on the most exciting wins both have had in your company.

Adam? Any chance? Maybe in a future release?

I'd like to see the TV contracts setup where you get a deal with a network for a certain amount of programming a week and a mandatory number of shows within that contract time.

IE

UFC Contract with Spike TV for say 2 hours of programming a week with 5 3 hour time slots reserved for PPVs/UFNs during the 6 months in which the contract is valid. Each network could have their own specific requests regarding the product. Chances are most are going to be after that 18-35 male demographic and you'd be having to get at least say a 1.0 on those big shows to keep from them canceling the contract.
