mrschimpf 1527 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I expected low numbers, but not to the extent that an Ole Miss/Mississippi State Raycom game in Montana would get. There are Gravitas/Pureflix weekend movie packages that have better ratings, yeesh! I tuned in for a few moments out of curiosity, and the presentation remains confusing (golf teams, but someone wins? And a crowded NASCAR-esque scoreboard) and it felt like something that was created to fill time on Golf Channel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Salter JR 66 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Nexstar should have gotten a bigger property if they were serious about making The CW a player for sports rights. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frog 338 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 CW Acquisition Has Already Paid For Itself, Nexstar CEO Perry Sook Says Sports beyond LIV are also in the crosshairs of Nexstar, Sook said. Without offering specifics, he said the company is evaluating “sports opportunities that could bleed into primetime.” 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without offering specifics, he said the company is evaluating “sports opportunities that could bleed into primetime.” I read they got an average of 300K viewers for the entire golf broadcast. I'm shocked that is measurable. I hope Nexstar got their money to carry the event up front. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sook said advertising on LIV Golf was selling “very well” and that Nexstar stations were generating three times the revenue from LIV Golf than it was getting from other network programming. Sounds like they're happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleWXYZ 89 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Would not be surprised if CBS stopped it’s affiliation with all the CW stations, and those respective stations all became independent. Might be better if stations like WKBD all returned to independent status. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like they're happy with it. Probably because they got paid to air live sports and didn’t have to pay production costs. We might see bad ratings and a harmful association w/ Saudi Arabia, but Nexstar sees an opportunity to run low cost programming on a low rated network and make a quick profit. It worked. For better or worse, this kind of thinking is perfectly in line with how Nexstar runs the rest of its media operations, including NewsNation. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.L. Hughes 546 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) The CW claims the network’s first LIV tournament broadcast averaged more than 3.2 million viewers across linear and digital during the period from February 24-26. (Note that the data cited used info from iSpotTV and internal results by both The CW and LIV.) Edited March 3 by T.L. Hughes 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love when a company cites 'the numbers are up some certain percent from the programming that previously aired there'...and the comparison is literal infomercials, 'E/I' programming, outdoors shows that take 28 minutes to shoot a deer or catch and release a fish, and the 854 sports profile shows which have seemed to suddenly become endemic on weekend CW/MNTV schedules. There is nobody under 60 without a streaming service watching those stations on weekend afternoons. 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.L. Hughes 546 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) The network has ordered a third season of FBoy Island, in a deal with the show’s distributor, STX, which had been shopping around the reality dating show after HBO Max canceled it in December (as part of CW minority owner Warner Bros. Discovery’s cuts to the service’s reality slate). The deal to pick up the series also includes the greenlight of a spinoff, FGirl Island. Edited March 17 by T.L.

Because somehow I doubt a show like that would appeal to the NCIS crowd. Then again, it's probably cheap programming, especially as a hand-me-down from David Zazlav's hatchet.

mrsunshine 3 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Yeah...I really don't think Nexstar ever actually had a plan for the CW. All these movements all just kind of seem like "we bought it, now what?" type of stuff. Don't be surprised to see "wild" changes in demos (or as wild as the viewership the CW receives) every night starting this Fall, if they're really trying to do the whole older-skewing thing, but also showing stuff like these F___ Islands. I will say, though, that we might have misunderstood them when they said older-skewing - they could have meant older-skewing compared to the old CW demo targets, the 18-34s. Then again compared to that basically everything in broadcast nowadays skews dead. Case in point, the recent article posted by Variety/THR/Deadline (I forgot which one of them exactly) that said that in Hulu Abbott skews like three times younger than in broadcast.

Megatron81 132 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I'll watch FBoy to see if it is good or not glad that The CW is bringing back some dating shows. I haven't watch FBoy as I don't have HBO Max I wonder if The CW will air season 1 & 2 before season 3 debuts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
