WWE Classics On Demand was a subscription video on demand television service provided by WWE. It featured footage from WWE's vast archive of wrestling footage, including classic WWE, World Championship Wrestling (WCW), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and more. It offered around 40 hours of rotating programming per month, arranged into four (previously six) "programming buckets", often centered on a specific theme. It was originally called WWE 24/7 On Demand. In September 2008, it was changed to WWE 24/7 Classics On Demand. In April 2009, it was changed again to WWE Classics On Demand. WWE Classics was presented only on digital cable. Among the services carrying it were Comcast, AT&T U-Verse (discontinued in 2012), Verizon FiOS, Mediacom, Charter Communications, Cox Communications, Rogers Cable, EastLink, Seaside Communications, Cogeco, Armstrong, Cablevision, Sky Italia and not long ago, Astro. Some of its programming was packaged as ''Madison Square Garden Classics'' and began airing on MSG Network in the summer of 2006. In November 2007, the service had around 115,000 subscribers. The service closed on January 31, 2014 to make way for their new video-streaming service WWE Network.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WWE Network Coming 2.24.14 )〕 ==Programming buckets and programs == The programming buckets and the programs which usually or occasionally appear on them: * WWE Legends–focuses on "narrative, retrospective and thematic programs" dealing with "legendary" wrestlers. * * ''Hall of Fame''–"Mean Gene" Okerlund hosts an original profile of a specific WWE Hall of Famer. * * * Throughout the rest of the month a selection of matches featuring that star are featured, changing every two weeks. * * ''WWE Old School'' - Archival house shows from the 70's to the 90's.
