WB/CW network is going under

[acealive1]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080208/...ckdown_smacked WWE programming was the only constant on their network since it started over 10 years ago and now they're waving bye bye. wow.......nice to see warner bros appreciates a single show keeping their whole network afloat for so long. to date,WWE smackdown is the only remaining show on the wb/cw to not be cancelled. which is saying something since they've had well over 100 different shows premiere and then die since smackdown came to the network. les moonves is not a smart man

America's Next Top Model franchise is huge. They'll be fine w/o rasslin'.

America's Next Top Model franchise is huge. They'll be fine w/o rasslin'. that barely gets a 1.0 sometimes. smackdown gets 3.5 - 4.9 on a regular basis. weigh it.

that barely gets a 1.0 sometimes. smackdown gets 3.5 - 4.9 on a regular basis. weigh it. Ratings don't matter when it comes to wrestling. Just ask Ted Turner. I'd say the average for Top Model is 3.0, with it being closer to 5 around the premier.

Wrestling is every networks redheaded stepchild. They bring in wrestling when they are fledgeling, but once they get a couple of programs under their belt, they'll give wrestling the boot because now they are too "high brow". Then their bottom line starts to slip a little, then they bring wrestling back (just like USA, Spike, probably many other channels).

Does the WB/CW have anything, besides maybe wrestling or Smallville, worth watching in the first place?

The CW shows Reaper though right? That show is wicked-cool.

How does this mean the channel is going under? I didn't even have a clue that they showed any sort of wrestling on that channel... I just thought it was all really bad shows... especially the "urban" ones. Well, I hope this does mean that piece of crap channel gets the hell off the airwaves.

It's crap, anyway. Not to mention, Wrestling is on it's way to going under, imo. ugh....wrestling...
