The New York Daily News interviewed MyNetworkTV president Greg Meidel on SmackDown's move to the station this fall. "Anytime you can take a night that has been established, that has a huge brand attached to it and is big and as bold and as bright as the WWE and Smackdown is, it was an opportunity we could not afford to lose," he said. When asked about the steroid controversy surrounding WWE, Medel said, "Every sport goes through the ebb and flow of life. We've witnessed that in baseball and football this past year with certain incidents, and they've weathered the storm and will be bigger and better because of that. This is a very proud organization and the McMahons have done a phenomenal job in the past several decades of building it from the ground up."
