I assume the other Tegna affiliates are preempting as well? Nope. Looking at the schedule for next week, it appears this week's preemption was just a schedule Conflict with USL Soccer, as KFMB is scheduled to air the ACC Game next weekend. The only CW affiliate that straight up preempted ACC Football is WCIU. Edited September 10, 2023 by elfuego35 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megatron81 179 Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 Which WGN will get The CW back in 2024 next year at this time when WICU contract with The CW ends. The CW was right to make a deal to air Miss USA always preferred that over Miss America. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megatron81 179 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 It will be interesting to see if NWA does well on The CW surprised that NWA has lasted for over 70+ years since most of those that were under NWA started to go it alone in the 80s & 90s when Ted Turner bought Crocket out and formed WCW. The only wrestler I know from NWA is Tyrus he's The NWA's World Champion largely being on Fox News. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CW air two seasons of WWE Smackdown in the late 2000s so there is a precedent (i.e.. airing pro wrestling). If NWA/CW can produce a good product, they shouldn't have too much a problem attracting an audience. How big of an audience is unknown. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that would be an ironic pickup because of their prior owners! AEW promoter Tony Khan owns it now and their weekly shows run only on their HonorClub streaming service (but the ROH belts are frequently defended on AEW TV shows). AEW currently airs on Warner Bros. Discovery's TNT and TBS and is trying to reach a long term deal with them that includes streaming rights, so they've made it clear they don't want deals with any other company at this time.

Megatron81 179 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 NWA blowing the deal already before they even debut on The CW sometime in 2024 that will maybe only be on The CW App now than the main channel. Great going NWA you blew it and upset Perry Sook and higher ups at Nexstar. I heard that there were talks that AEW was going to sign a deal with WBD haven't heard anything more about it though. I think AEW does need to get on in syndication or get a deal with another major network for a show maybe Fox or The CW before the NWA deal that maybe off because a wrestler was doing coke on an NWA PPV. But AEW would get more fans if they were on broadcast than just TBS, TNT, & MAX in my opinion. I'm not into wrestling like I once was started getting tired of it in 2002-04 range where I stopped watching Raw & Smackdown weekly somewhat watched TNA/Impact when that was on FSN RSN.

Intriguing. The CW last aired SmackDown from 2006 to 2008. Ironically, it was later dropped due to previous management not finding it a great fit with its then-strategy of teen dramas (and few sitcoms). If/when NXT is picked up under the current management, WWE programming will return to CW after a long absence, and this time - in line with its growing sports portfolio - it's a perfect fit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the shows are interchangeable. But it might be better to keep Inside the NFL on Tuesdays while MNF is fresh on fans’ minds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
