Potential bad situation for Smackdown

In what could become a major issue, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting that MyNetworkTV has only inked deals with 140 stations for the new fall season with the changing of contracts. This would be down from 175 stations or a drop from 111 million homes to 98 million. This will lead to an immediate 11% drop in ratings. MyNetworkTV Executive Vice President Paul Franklin did tell Media Post that he is expecting to sign contracts before the fall to bring the number back to the previous one or at least close to it.
