[edit] The Performance section
While I think a "Performance" section is ok (with proper citations), do we really need a daily break-down of the CW's ratings? Seems overly crufty, and parts of the section are poorly written ("the second week premieres did as follows"). Firsfron of Ronchester 07:26, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, this information would seem trivial in the future (see Wikipedia:Recentism). If anything, the section should be rewritten in prose without the cruft, or simply deleted altogether. —Whomp (myedits) 18:38, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Performance should serve the purpose of initial performance in comparison to the CW's predecessors.--Dleav 02:33, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- User:Lukeruss06 just took this section out and pasted to a seperate article, The performance of the cw. As this hasn't been discussed I am reverting this change.--Pontificalibus (talk) 11:11, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- I took it out again, as a ratings breakdown for 1 week really isn't encyclopedic content, and the recentism issue noted above. Overall season ratings might be notable enough, but that is info that best belongs on the individual series articles, with only a cursory mention of its effects on the network here. oknazevad (talk) 13:15, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- Fine by me, I just wanted to delete the seperate article.--Pontificalibus (talk) 14:48, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Comcast abd CW problems
I know this is pretty new and all but shouldn't it be added in here and what channels might be taken out.
[edit] Shows that have been Renewed.
America's Next Top Model
Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll
Beauty and the Geek
All have not been officially renewed. Executive Producers are accepting applications for a new season however that still doesn't mean that the show has officially been renewed. Americas Next Top Model Cycle 1 was filmed completely even before the executives knew if UPN would pick up the show.
TheFutonCritic.com updates daily which shows have been renewed, I suggest we use this as a source.
[edit] Newscasts
KDKA has two newscasts on Pittsburgh CW. Considering those newscasts don't belong on the KDKA-TV page, shouldn't they be on this page under programing. Just a thought. I am me73 00:31, 13 May
[edit] Problem in CW page!!!!!!!

- OKAY, I FIXED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would very much appreciate to see some grammatical correctness from people who use the talk feature because Wikipedia is created by everyone and therefore has to be clutter free and correct. Unnecessary exclamation points and un-capitalized abbreviations are a real let-down. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sonic knx (talk • contribs) 17:51, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
- I would greatly appreciate it if talk page commentors would not comment on multi-year old posts with snooty comments, pay attention to formatting (there should be no spaces at the beginning of a line, as it misformats the text) and, most importantly, remember to sign their posts. oknazevad (talk) 03:57, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
[edit] "Programs in development" section
Does this section really belong? I ask for three reasons. Firstly, it seems non-encyclopedic in nature, and more appropriate for a news and rumors site. The fact that all but one item is sourced to such a site reinforces that notion. Secondly, none of the other network pages has such a section, which brings to question the notability of such developmental work in the first place. Thirdly, if all the listed series were to be brought to full production, the CW would either need to cancel almost the entire existing schedule or massively expand the hours it broadcasts. Since neither has been suggested as happening, obviously some of these ideas will never see air, as is true of many show ideas that are not picked up. With only occassional exception, we don't cover shows that die on the vine, so the notability of the CW's is questionable at best. Those three things combined make me say that the section should go. oknazevad (talk) 13:27, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
