History
Before Show
Rodney Show was the Chief Programming Officer (CPO) of the Makko Oko Box Office from 2001 to 2003, before then being Executive Producer of multiple MKBO original TV shows for 7 years. Rodney quit his comfortable CPO position in 2003 due to "disagreements over policies and ethics on MKBO programming", said a spokesperson at the time. Rodney then went on to work for MNSN as their Vice President Of Programming & Events, which lasted until March of 2004 when he was terminated for unknown reasons.
Formation Of Show Networks
After Rodney's firing, he thought to start his own TV network, but MKBO caught wind of this and filed a lawsuit seeking an injunction due to "anti-competitiveness" and "theft of trade secrets". The court threw out the case after months of legal debate, and Rodney, more powerful than ever, called up a friend of his, President Harold Zenonis, to pitch the idea to him.
According to President Zenonis, "Harold had an idea for a TV network, one that could be exclusive like a country club, and bring about the first fighting network. [...] He pitched the name "Show" and I immediately fell in love. [...] I took up the idea and am helping him as a friend.". The idea came to fruition and the idea of Show was born.
Show Networks was officially formed on November 16th, 2004, after months of securing licensing deals and going into personal debt, including getting another mortgage on their home. The network didn't officially begin broadcasting until January of 2005, however on some local cable providers. Show's first slogan was "The ultimate fighting SHOW", and exclusively broadcasted fighting events 24/7/365.
