That’s gotta make them the #2 promotion in the US right? Possibly even #1 once WWE leaves FOX

History Comes Inside! posted:I thought the CW was the tv network with all the “30 year old actors playing high school students” shows They all got cancelled a year or two ago so they could give money to LIV golf and ACC college football instead Given how the last 12 months have gone at the box office and critically, they were actually ahead of the curve on the "nobody wants to watch comics stuff anymore" part of that move, so. Can't say it was entirely a bad call there

Wow that's actually big for NWA. I thought it was going to be a channel I never heard of so this is much better than I expected.

The CW's current slate of programming is mostly... not new programming, as best as I can tell? They only put out two hours a night. Things actually premiering on the CW in bold Sunday - Sullivan's Crossing, a rebroadcast of a CBC drama - The Chosen, a show about the life of Jesus that started on a Christian streaming service, was on Netflix for a bit, and is now being rebroadcast on the CW - World's Funniest Animals, a clip show of animal bloopers Monday - F Boy Island, the reality dating competition show which appears to be producing original episodes on the CW but they're also rebroadcasting the first two seasons from HBO MAX - Penn & Teller: Fool Us, a reality magician competition show which was originally produced by ITV but the CW picked it up after it was canceled and are producing new episodes[/b] Tuesday - Inside the NFL, a news magazine about football previously canceled by HBO, Showtime, and Paramount+ - The Swarm, a German sci-fi series that CW picked up the rights to re-run, then re-runs of Whose Line Is It, Anyway when they run out of Swarm episodes Wednesday - Sullivan's Crossing again - The Spencer Sisters, another Canadian drama they bought the rights to re-run Thursday - Son of a Critch, this time it's a Canadian sitcom - Run the Burbs, yet another Canadian sitcom - Children Ruin Everything, a third Canadian sitcom - Everyone Else Burns, a British sitcom Friday - Another episode of Penn & Teller: Fool Us - Masters of Illusion, a Christian magic show hosted by Dean Cain - Another episode of World's Funniest Animals Saturday - A college football game I know CW is a network and everything, but it's hard to find any original/'original' programming that they broadcast in the past few years that averaged over 500,000 viewers an episode outside of some of those recently canceled superhero shows. It is definitely a step up from late stage TNA/Impact being on the TV Guide channel between Saved by the Bell marathons or whatever, but it's still well behind the packages WWE and AEW have. Edge & Christian fucked around with this message at 00:51 on Oct 19, 2023 |

"a Christian magic show". Because of course such a thing exists. I'm guessing it's a normal magic show except after every trick the guy who used to be Superman tells you that it's devil worship and you should just read the bible

Is that violent j One of the five top figures they want to announce for their sweet new show is a dude who can either be most famous from his song “miracles” from 2009 or from his run with the wwf in 1998

Watching as much of some clips as I could muster, the show does not appear to be explicitly Christian, but started life on the PAX Channel and is aggressively Family Friendly and Wholesome, except for when the magicians have sexy assistants but that is a pretty standard hall pass for Christian programming. They're all nice white ladies wearing garters, don't worry!

I guess NWA is a relatively cheap replacement?

CBS/Warner sold CW to Nexstar Media last year. Nexstar's model is cheap programming at all costs (they turned WGN America into an all news format), so if NWA aren't paying, it's likely a revenue split.
