WWE V.P. Tom Barreca was interviewed last week by Mutlichannel News. In the interview he confirmed that WWE is in the process of testing high definition programming and have been looking into it for the past few years. Barreca mentioned that Sci-Fi had not renewed the ECW series beyond this summer but felt like they would renew the programming as an anchor for its fall schedule; much like the USA Network does for RAW.
Speaking of ECW on Sci-Fi, the TV Squad web blog criticized Sci-Fi for airing ECW and several other non science fiction programs. The blog said that ECW on the network is known "only to the executives of Sci-Fi and Universal." The editorial did, however, mention that ECW is the highest rated show on the network.
