Soon it'll be on the local Public Access channels

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.

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.

Eight CBS Stations To Ditch CW And Go Independent This Fall

[The Frog 435]

Walker survives the Nexstar axe, but the spin-off wasn't so lucky.

[CircleWXYZ 181]

If they cancel Superman and Lois, which happens to be a great show, than I’m done with the CW.

[AmericanErrorist 156]

The network's first upfront under the new ownership took place on Thursday, and here is an interview with the programming chiefs.

 

 

[kfc513 238]

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?

Actually, that's an IndyCar docuseries, 100 Days to Indy. It was ordered as a miniseries to coincide with the buildup to the Indy 500, as the title suggest, and given the godawful ratings it's been getting, even for The CW, it might not even be here as part of the buildup for next year's Indy 500.

One of them, Children Ruin Everything, is a "Roku Original" in the US.

Both parties are happy with its performance, so it'll probably continue.

I read this as “They’re not expecting the writers strike to be ending quickly, so let’s import stuff to air - even if it’s available streaming” [because we’re Nexstar and we don’t believe in streaming]…

[mightynine 290]

No, the cheap international imports were always part of the plan, I think. 

[mre29 1563]

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.

It Appears LIV Golf Is Ashamed of Its TV Ratings on The CW

 

[ After holding six events this year, the breakaway league has stopped publicly reporting its viewership numbers ]

Edited May 22, 2023 by jase

[CircleSeven 1960]

Well..... I blame LIV on this.

 

Why you want to put your league on a channel that no one watches???.......

 

Edited May 21, 2023 by CircleSeven

[channel2 982]

Is it that, or is it that the networks people watch didn't want LIV Golf?

[Action Newsroom 1300]

Probably because no one at all would want to watch it (or even want it) to begin with. 

[nathannah 2505]

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.

You know Telemundo tried that in the 90s dubbing some of Sony Pictures movies and shows in Spanish since that was there owner at the time, and some were there international imports. Because it was cheap, Turned out horribly and it was a big flop. I see the same happening here.

No one said these imports wouldn't already be in English.

The bottom line is I know they'll be in English I'm pointing out that something like this has been tries before.

Didn't they actually remake some Sony-owned shows? Like Charlie's Angels?

Heck, PBS imports British shows all the time. Masterpiece is one giant umbrella for dramas from over there.
