Editing Pay-per-view (section)

=== Professional wrestling ===
[[Professional wrestling]] has a long history of running pay-per-view events. [[WWE]] (then WWF) launched its first pay-per-view event in 1985 with its annual flagship event [[WrestleMania]] and has run numerous others throughout the years. Although it still offers its events via traditional PPV outlets, they have also been included at no additional charge as part of a larger, subscription-based streaming service known as [[WWE Network]]. The service also includes original programming (such as documentary-style series and other wrestling programs) and an on-demand archive of events and television episodes from WWE's library. Following [[WrestleMania 34]], the service had 2.12 million subscribers.<ref>{{cite news |last=Berkman |first=Seth|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/31/business/media/the-body-slam-is-buffering.html |title=WWE Network Is Loud Introduction to the Video Streaming Ring |work=The New York Times |date=March 30, 2014 |access-date=August 14, 2014}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/business/article/WrestleMania-34-sets-Superdome-record-12818488.php|title=WrestleMania 34 sets Superdome, network records|date=2018-04-09|work=Stamford Advocate|access-date=2018-11-17}}</ref>

Since the beginning of 2022, WWE has used the term "Premium Live Events" instead of pay-per-view to promote their availability via subscription platforms such as WWE Network and other streaming services (such as [[Peacock (streaming service)|Peacock]]), although they still remain available via traditional PPV.<ref>{{cite web |last=Kilbane |first=Lyle |date=January 3, 2022 |title=WWE Reportedly Rebrand Pay-Per-Views Under New Name |url=https://itrwrestling.com/news/wwe-reportedly-rebrand-pay-per-views/ |access-date=January 5, 2022 |work=Inside the Ropes}}</ref><ref name=":22">{{Cite web |last=Spangler |first=Todd |date=2021-01-25 |title=NBCU's Peacock Pins WWE Network Exclusive U.S. Streaming Rights |url=https://variety.com/2021/digital/news/wwe-network-peacock-exclusively-streaming-1234890954/ |access-date=2021-01-25 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Hayes |first=Dade |date=2021-01-25 |title=Peacock Adds Wrestling In WWE Network Streaming Exclusive |url=https://deadline.com/2021/01/peacock-adds-wrestling-in-wwe-network-streaming-exclusive-1234679617/ |access-date=2021-01-25 |website=Deadline |language=en-US}}</ref>
