ViacomCBS and WarnerMedia are exploring a sale of The CW network, which has catered to teens and young adults since it was launched from the merger of The WB and UPN in 2006, reports The Wall Street Journal. Among the suitors is Nexstar Media Group, the nation’s biggest broadcaster and a large owner of affiliates of the network. The Journal says the "most prevalent scenario is Nexstar’s taking a controlling stake in the CW, with CBS and WarnerMedia remaining as minority owners and receiving commitments to be the primary program suppliers for the network."

I suppose they will make program changes if it's sold. I hate to see some of my favorite CW shows get axed.

Pagey says that Nexstar (https://variety.com/2022/biz/news/cw-sale-nexstar-streaming-walker-riverdale-shows-1235148174/) would be the best choice for a new owner because the company already operates numerous TV stations that are affiliates of The CW, including WPIX in New York and KTLA in Los Angeles. Regarding any new shows that would premiere after Nexstar takes over, he says that Nexstar would be more demanding of ratings performance than WarnerMedia and ViacomCBS have been. Therefore, under Nexstar, The CW would cancel more shows than it has in recent years.

"If your back kind of hurts, you fondly remember it as the WB, and its Michigan J. Frog mascot has haunted at least one of your nightmares," says Chloe Stillwell. "Warner Brothers’ foray into its own station began in 1995, and grew into a staple television network for younger viewers into the aughts. In 2006, a merger with CBS rebranded the network as the CW, which it has remained until the news was released Thursday that its parent companies, Warner Media and ViacomCBS, are looking to sell it due to a lack of profitability. I say nay, though. The WB/CW is worth its weight in gold to millennials who were raised by its brand of salacious and candid teen programming. Everything ends at some point or another, but we need to pour one out for the network that was every early 2000s latchkey kid’s solace in a big, scary world. It filled the gap where MTV’s hard-hitting reality antics, Cartoon Network’s LSD strangeness, and the Disney channel’s family-oriented corniness left off. It was formative, for better or worse. I know this might be hard to believe for you younger folks, but we used to have TV channels. Now in the age of streaming, where shows new and old cross pollinate across platforms at will and there’s always something to watch, remembering how we used to get our entertainment feels like a memory from a dream. But as kids, we would memorize station numbers and their schedules. Our shows came on once a week, and if you missed it you were totally F’d around the cafeteria the next day as friends rabidly discussed the latest installment of teen programming that you hadn’t seen. Maybe you’d catch a re-run. And if you were extra bougie, you had TeVo and life was easy. But beyond how the logistics of old school television used to keep us patient and honest, it was the programming of everyone’s favorite network that made millennials the un-woke elders Gen Z loves to mock now."

To further elaborate (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/s288va/will_the_cw_be_a_streaming_wars_casualty/):

Likely, a Nexstar deal, would still have to buy programming from Warner and CBS

But there are ideas that some want to up News programming (Nexstar's main product) as part of the line up, like their own Sunday Morning show (Nexstar recently bought the Hill).

Some current shows could move to HBO Max / Paramount Plus (since the CW's only money was the programs being sold to Netflix, as stated before).

Nexstar could also pick up more (Read cheaper) imports and reruns. Especially since Nexstar doesn't want to run a money sink.

Nexstar could acquire some of the CBS owned CW stations (but that depends on how invested they are and they are already at the cap of ownership, so less likely but possible). CBS already announced they are doing something with their owned CW/MY networks stations anyway (https://www.adweek.com/tvspy/cbs-stations-looks-to-reinvent-and-expand-local-news/237766/).


To make a long story short, if The CW goes away, their affiliates will more than likely become independents. And a majority of CW stations have sister stations that make news programming, so local news expansions could happen.

Nexstar is in negotiations to acquire a stake in the CW (https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/cw-nexstar-sale-cw-cbs-warnermedia-1235147833/)

Parent company of 2 Utah TV stations may buy a broadcast network (https://www.sltrib.com/artsliving/2022/06/19/scott-d-pierce-parent/)

By Scott D. Pierce
| June 19, 2022, 6:00 a.m.

Two of Utah’s local TV stations may soon be owned by a company that owns a broadcast network, but neither station is being sold. It’s the network that’s for sale.

They’re still working on a deal, but don’t be surprised when the Nexstar Media Group announces that it’s buying The CW from Paramount Global (formerly known as ViacomCBS) and Warner Bros. Discovery. And Nexstar is the parent company of not just Utah’s CW affiliate, KUCW-Ch. 30, but also Utah’s ABC affiliate, KTVX-Ch. 4.

Nexstar has a lot of local stations. More than anybody else. It owns or operates 200 stations in 116 markets across the country — from the No. 2 market (Los Angeles) to the No. 197 market (San Angelo, Texas) — including the two Salt Lake City stations in the No. 30 market.

The Texas-based company has a reputation for being sort of a benevolent behemoth. Its local news operations don’t have a political bent, and its stations aren’t dictated to from company headquarters. That’s a decided contrast to the right-wing propaganda viewers of Sinclair Broadcast Group-owned or operated stations (including KUTV-Ch. 2, KJZZ-Ch. 14 and KMYU-Ch. 12 in Utah) have come to expect.

(Nexstar Media Group) The nation's largest owner of local TV stations is reportedly on the verge of buying The CW network.

Nexstar also has a reputation for being cheap. That comes as no surprise to viewers of KTVX’s newscasts on both Ch. 4 and Ch. 30, who can see that the “New 4 Utah” team is operating on a limited budget.

The company has poured a lot of money into its NewsNation cable channel. It acquired the cable channel, then known as WGN America, when it purchased Tribune Broadcasting in 2019, and has converted it into a cable news channel.

The plan was for NewsNation to compete with CNN, MSNBC and Fox News, which hasn’t exactly worked out yet. When WGN became NewsNation, ratings plummeted, and they’ve remained low. Nexstar has spent hundreds of millions of dollars for a prime-time audience that averages around 40,000 to 60,000 viewers.

To put that in perspective, the 10 p.m. newscast on Nexstar-owned KTLA-Ch. 5 in Los Angeles pulls in audiences that regularly exceed 100,000 viewers.

If, as expected, Nexstar buys The CW, local viewers won’t see any changes on Ch. 4. They won’t see any changes to the non-network part of Ch. 30′s schedule. They will, like viewers everywhere else, see changes to The CW’s schedule. Keep in mind Nexstar’s reputation for being tight with a dollar.

The fact is that The CW has lost money ever since it launched in 2006, a merger of sorts between The WB and UPN. It made economic sense for Warner Bros. and CBS as a platform for shows they produced, which were then sold to streamers, in syndication and internationally. That’s why The CW regularly renewed virtually all of its schedule, despite low ratings.

But that model no longer makes sense. Paramount Global and Warner Bros. Discovery each have their own streaming services, Paramount+ and HBO Max, respectively.

And the impending sale to Nexstar is why The CW broke with tradition and swung the ax on a lot of shows last month — canceling “Batwoman,” “Charmed,” “D.C.’s Legends of Tomorrow,” “Dynasty,” “The 4400,” “In the Dark,” “Legacies,” “Naomi” and “Roswell, New Mexico.” It also announced that the upcoming seventh season of “Riverdale” will be the last.

Nexstar isn’t going to pay for a lot of high-priced TV series. The future for The CW will feature fewer hourlong dramas and, potentially, fewer superhero shows. There will be more unscripted and/or reality shows and more foreign acquisitions. (It already has several, including “Family Law” and “Professionals.”) There might be half-hour comedies. There will probably be shows from studios other than Paramount and Warner Bros.

There won’t be as many big-budget productions. There will be shows that look and are, well, cheap.

And, come to think of it, local viewers might be affected by the sale of The CW to Nexstar. If the new owner can’t figure out a way to make money on the network — or, at least, break even — the “News 4 Utah” budget might get even tighter.

Nexstar Close to Deal to Buy Majority Stake in The CW (Report) (https://www.thewrap.com/nexstar-cw-network-majority-control-deal/)

Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Global are on the verge of selling majority stake in The CW

Brandon Katz | June 29, 2022 @ 3:46 PM

Several months after reports first surfaced (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/vnv3wd/nexstar_close_to_deal_to_buy_majority_stake_in/) that local television station owner Nextstar Media Group was interested in buying The CW network, it appears the company is close to acquiring a majority stake in the broadcast channel.

Nexstar is nearing a deal to acquire 75% of The CW, with parent companies Paramount Global and Warner Bros. Discovery each retaining 12.5% ownership stakes, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Representatives for The CW, Nexstar, Paramount Global did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s requests for comment; a rep for Warner Bros. Discovery had no comment.

Nexstar is expected to assume a majority of The CW’s current losses, which could amount to more than $100 million, per the outlet. While the deal is not yet done, an official pact could be reached in the next few weeks.

Nexstar is said to be planning to acquire shows from outside producers while Paramount Global and Warner Bros. Discovery continue to create content for the broadcast network. Both parent companies will reportedly continue to receive revenue from previously established licensing agreements such as The CW’s ongoing relationship with Netflix.

Nexstar is the country’s largest broadcaster and already owns the majority of CW affiliate stations. Assuming operational control of the younger-skewing broadcast network, which often fails to turn a profit, would enable the company to reap the licensing rewards that come with selling content to streaming services and overseas buyers. Nexstar is expected to broaden The CW’s programming to appeal to older audiences, WSJ reported.

In 2019, Netflix and The CW ended its exclusive licensing pact as both parent companies looked to reclaim content for in-house streaming services Paramount + and HBO Max, respectively. However, The CW still licensed content on a case-by-case basis while ongoing shows remained tethered to Netflix. This was seen at the time as a way to increase licensing revenue by opening up the bidding pool.

The CW's New Ownership Has Fans Seriously Worried About Its Future (https://www.looper.com/965789/the-cws-new-ownership-has-fans-seriously-worried-about-its-future/)

CW fans aren't looking forward to reality TV and reruns replacing their favorite shows

Though CBS' George Cheeks and Warner Bros. Television Group's Channing Dungey have insisted that future CW programming will be a collaborative effort, and that, as Dungey says, fans on the network's subreddit are understandably skeptical. There's a reason, after all, why big box stores like Walmart and fast-food franchises like Taco Bell and Chik-fil-A are more profitable than your local specialty store or family-owned restaurant: a cheaper cost of good results in much higher profits. Thus, if Nexstar has any hope of realizing their ambitious goal of making the struggling network profitable within the next three years (via Deadline), they won't get there by filling it with high-budget scripted dramas that draw niche audiences who quickly age-out of their programming.

"I could see Nexstar doing reality shows and rerunning old syndicated shows," writes one viewer on Reddit, who also added, "Look at zombie broadcast networks like My9 and WGN. The replacement to WB would be another zombie broadcast network, but the news network would be the 'original' content."

It's an assumption supported by Carter's own words. Though he didn't give specifics, he nonetheless alluded, as Deadline reports, to "lower unscripted costs" and an increase in syndicated programming. Fan criticism and disappointed ranged from suspicions about Nexstar pushing a biased political agenda (via Reddit) to simply being, as u/spinereader81 wrote, "sad to see something I once loved circle the drain." But regardless of the specific form the network's new, more profitable content will take, one thing appears abundantly clear to fans, and that's the fact that new scripted programs aren't likely part of the new CW's future.

The CW Will Be A Profitable Network By 2025, With Broader And Cheaper Programming, New Owners At Nexstar Signal

https://deadline.com/2022/08/the-cw-will-become-profitable-network-2025-broader-cheaper-programming-nexstar-1235092173/

Get ready for a less-expensive and older skewed CW, says new owners Nexstar Media Group (https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/cw-is-now-gonna-appeal-to-the-older-folks-no-more-teen-programming.4993500/)

“According to Deadline (https://deadline.com/2022/08/the-cw-will-become-profitable-network-2025-broader-cheaper-programming-nexstar-1235092173/), The CW’s new owners Nexstar Media Group have plans to lower the network’s losses, while creating new content for their surprisingly older average viewer…….the real kicker is who is enjoying all this teen-marketed television. According to their stats, the average age of The CW watcher is 58 years old—very much not the teen-to-30-year-old demographic that everyone assumed that they were getting. Instead of continuing to give those older viewers content that they’re apparently already watching and enjoying, Nexstar President and COO Tom Carter says they’re “lowering unscripted costs” and adding more syndicated shows to their lineup.”

and

“While there isn’t an age limit on enjoying the epic highs and lows of high school adventures, there is a question as to whether this data is the most accurate representation of their general audience. Could these stats have been taken from only those who watch The CW on cable boxes, giving them a leaning more towards an older viewer? If so, that seems pretty risky to not take into account streaming views, which amasses a much younger audience for binge-watching and “next day” episode plays.”

Nexstar has two channels here, one a Fox affiliate and one CBS.

It will be interesting to see what happens at contract time. Right now the CW is carried by a locally-owned independent.

Here in the Boston area, The CW is owned by Sunbeam Television. They also own WHDH, which is independent.

The most ridiculously CW moments from the old CW (https://www.avclub.com/the-most-ridiculously-cw-moments-from-the-old-cw-1849801704)

The CW as we know it (https://www.avclub.com/is-this-the-end-of-the-cw-as-we-know-it-1849478735) is coming to an end. The network may continue after its acquisition by Nexstar, but it won’t look like the one we know and love. The CW’s new parent company has indicated it plans to target an older demographic (https://www.avclub.com/the-cw-less-pricey-and-older-skewed-says-new-owners-1849413924) and signaled as much by canceling (https://www.avclub.com/stargirl-latest-cw-cancellation-1849722904) many of the network’s (https://www.avclub.com/the-winchesters-and-walker-s-future-is-uncertain-1849735175) existing shows (https://www.avclub.com/colin-mochrie-says-whose-line-is-it-anyway-is-ending-n-1849748670) and announcing that carryover of shows from the previous regime would be minimal (https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/cw-shows-paramount-warner-bros-discovery-nexstar-2023-2024-1235426407/). Nexstar also may not extend its partnership with Paramount and Warner Bros., which could render the “C” (for CBS) and “W” (for Warners) obsolete.

And so we prepare to say a slow goodbye to the soapy teen dramas, the DC superhero series, and the fun genre fare that has defined the network since its inception in 2006. The CW aired some of the most hilarious, outrageous, “did they really just do that?” moments in broadcast television history; and to celebrate the end of an era, here are a few of The A.V. Club’s favorites from the last 16 years. Say it with us: The CW is dead. Long live the CW.
