Saban Brands is launching a five hour block of programming for Saturday morning on the CM Network, the former home of Smackdown, that will feature a new show from WWE name "WWE Saturday Morning Slam." The show, which is part of the Vortexx programming aimed at young boys, will feature one match a week, wrestler profiles, and behind the scenes footage. You can read the full LA Times report at http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-ct-saban-kids-tv-20120809,0,1323347.story.

Shore's Slant: Normally I would be down on another strain on WWE creative, but I don't think there will be much creative input on this show. It's part of a Saturday morning cartoon block and will be built around action, so this should be a nice little programming fee for WWE.
