The Rise and Fall of The CW

The CW had to cancel everything from Legacies to Batwoman this year...but why? In this video I talk about The CW through the years, from the Arrowverse to Gossip Girl to The Vampire Diaries.

Took 'em long enough to finally go under.

The CW 2024 Rebrand is Futile

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koTTVQjIppg

After nearly 18 years, The CW has been finally updated with a full-fledged rebranding, including a simplified logo with a scarlet color. I have mixed feelings about this facelift, such as the identity. Is The CW turning a new leaf with more to come or is this the last attempt at saving their dying network?

Also when I was almost done editing the video, I realized that Paramount sold their tiny sliver of the channel to Nexstar, most likely due to their massive debt. So now Nexstar owns a whopping 87.5%, meanwhile WBD has a miniscule 12.5% of the channel (There is contradicting sources about this, so I might update the description later).

The CW is NOT What You Remember

The CW has changed a LOT in the past few years, say goodbye to the Arrowverse and say hello to sports. In this video, I go over how shows like Superman & Lois are on the way out and Wild Cards is in. What does that mean? I go over it all here.
