MyNetworkTV Pulls
Ahead Of The CW!!

I am – Hercules!!

MyNetworkTV is clobbering The CW, and it’s using CW castoff “WWE Smackdown” to facilitate the pummel.

From The Associated Press:

NEW YORK – For the past three weeks, the upstart My Network TV has accomplished something that would have been considered unthinkable just two years ago.

The network, quickly cobbled together by a group of Fox-owned local stations after the 2006 merger of the WB and UPN into the new CW left abandoned stations with nothing to put on the air, has averaged more prime-time viewers than the CW.

Another factor is soapy CW series like “90210” and “Gossip Girl” don’t do well in repeats. The network meanwhile continues to develop similar shows like a sequel to "Melrose Place."

Read all of the AP’s story on the matter here.




Fresh Whedon!!


THE WIRE At $18/SEASON!!
