Advantages: WWF action for non Sky viewers

Disadvantages: Poor matches, Repeats of Sky

WWF Sunday Night Heat first burst onto our screens in January 2000. The WWF was on fire at this point, with hundreds of thousands of new generation fans watching every week - ratings went through the roof.

But as of late, as WWF becomes more watchable on Sky WWF Heat on Channel 4 has dropped and dropped, until the fact that it lost it's 4pm slot on Sunday afternoons, and is now screened in the dead of night Sunday nights.

So what the hell is going on?

The fact of the matter is Heat sucks. With low card wrestlers fighting the same people week in, week out, and repeats of the best match of the week which everyone has already seen anyway, people have no reason to watch it - and are using their right not to watch much to the dismay of Channel 4.

What at first seemed like s sure-fire hit for C4 is now one of the worst watched programmes on Channel 4, and every other channel for that matter.

As this barely watchable programme reaches the end of the line, just what does this mean for terestrial sports entertainment?!
