*** Turner to stop airing WCW

ATLANTA (AP) - Turner Broadcasting System Inc. has decided to stop
airing World Championship Wrestling, a mainstay of the network's
lineup since its fledgling days in the 1970s, a company spokesman
said on Monday. As a consequence, a deal to sell the troubled
wrestling organization fell through. Fusient Media Ventures, a New
York media investment firm, had announced its purchase of the
company in January. The firm says talks have resumed on a new deal
now that the WCW has no broadcast outlet. The decision means that
the WCW will cease after a March 26 event in Panama City Beach,
Fla., pending its sale to a new owner. Turner spokesman Jim Weiss
said Monday that Turner expects the company - which lost an
estimated $80 million last year - will be sold quickly. The decision
to scrap wrestling was one of the first major programming decisions
made by new chief executive Jamie Kellner.

Fox might pick them up on tv. More than likely the shutdown will only last a few weeks. Nothing is certain yet.

WCW is taking a hiatus and prolly going on a huge firing spree while they are at it too. So when they do go back on the air don't expect to see some of the same faces.
