tyrannical bastard 3951 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 WUAB is now available on YouTube TV. I'll have to see if Gray has a universal deal with The CW or if it's just certain stations in certain markets.

Megatron81 258 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Pac-12 games would get higher ratings than LIV Golf on The CW if The CW does sign on for The CW and also ION. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19111-nexstar-acquires-75-of-the-cw/page/12/#findComment-285508 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kfc513 235 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) Okay, so I was able to tally up what we're dealing with this fall... Monday Scripted CW originals (one moving over from AMC) Tuesday International imports (Canadian and British; sourced from CTV, CBC and Channel 4) Wednesday International imports (Canadian; both sourced from CTV) Thursday Unscripted originals (FBoy Island; moving from HBO Max) Friday & Saturday Unscripted CW originals (all returning from 2022 season, one of which (World's Funniest Animals) I'm assuming is a clip show) Sunday "Family viewing night" (starting with the 'I Am' film franchise, whatever that is) **Are those Canadian/British imports already available on streaming here in the states? **Also, what happened to the NASCAR docuseries?

mre29 1519 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced they should just rip the bandage off and rename the network to differentiate it from the "old" CW. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19111-nexstar-acquires-75-of-the-cw/page/12/#findComment-286781 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nathannah 2429 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I did see it on in a public setting last week (the 3rd St. Market Hall in Milwaukee), but it seemed more to have golf on next to the TopGolf as visual noise more than anything else.
