Just as the WWE kicks off in Abu Dhabi, OSN has announced a five-year partnership for a WWE Network across the Middle East and North Africa.
The channel carries on an existing agreement, which screens the WWE's flagship programmes Raw, Smackdown, NXT and Superstars. The new channel will have an exclusive screening of Wrestlemania on Sunday, March 29.
OSN subscribers will be able to access the network via their set top boxes, via OSN Play and WWE Network apps. WWE Network will also be offered in the region on a direct-to-consumer basis through the WWE app, available on GO by OSN.

What is the definition of an SME?
SMEs in the UAE are defined by the number of employees, annual turnover and sector. For example, a “small company” in the services industry has six to 50 employees with a turnover of more than Dh2 million up to Dh20m, while in the manufacturing industry the requirements are 10 to 100 employees with a turnover of more than Dh3m up to Dh50m, according to Dubai SME, an agency of the Department of Economic Development.
A “medium-sized company” can either have staff of 51 to 200 employees or 101 to 250 employees, and a turnover less than or equal to Dh200m or Dh250m, again depending on whether the business is in the trading, manufacturing or services sectors.
