    So The CW has established a relationship with NWA after it looked like they had a falling out

    Wow. NWA should be lucky. That... narcotic spot [which was planned by owner Billy Corgan despite some resistance] at their October PPV seemingly imploded their partnership completely, and honestly (as it was stupid and unnecessary -- both when it happened and right after) they (especially Corgan) kinda deserved the resulting backlash. I hope the partnership goes well and lasts quite a while, and Corgan and the NWA staff don't push their luck.

    1) Since it's staying around, it's gonna take a while to forget that this network name was last associated with home design, cooking and DIY shows.

    2) That logo looks like one of a 90s haircare brand. Considering it's new strategy, while not bad, it's a bit too on-the-nose IMO. haha

    Here's a pro wrestling-worthy swerve. The CW is reportedly close to picking up WWE NXT.

    Intriguing. The CW last aired SmackDown from 2006 to 2008. Ironically, it was later dropped due to previous management not finding it a great fit with its then-strategy of teen dramas (and few sitcoms). If/when NXT is picked up under the current management, WWE programming will return to CW after a long absence, and this time - in line with its growing sports portfolio - it's a perfect fit.

    Tamsen Fadal is leaving WPIX

    I wish her well where she goes next .

     

    Maybe now, the evening shows will get some variety again, and John Muller gets back there -- as he deserves to (unless he wants to spend more time with his family).

    GMA is planning to leave Times Square by 2025.

    I was in the second-floor studio's audience a couple times in the years before its axing; I was excited to go (after peeking in the first floor windows every time I visit NYC) and had a blast each time (I even got to meet Robin and George after the show wrapped). So yeah, while I can't wait for the new set and era in Hudson Square to come, it really will be an end of a era onTimes Square that will be remembered fondly by many (me included).

    Speaking of scheduling changes, they're swapping FBoy Island and the comedy night so that FBoy Island isn't competing with The Golden Bachelor.

     

    So instead, they're competing with [...] Dancing with the Stars. Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire...

    Hopefully DwtS will wipe the floor with it.

     

    In either case: not anymore it will.

    DWTS will now air on Tuesdays this season.

    So much for that then.
