ratings have been constant, maybe not amazing, but constant. The CW is also more interested in created a "cult following" than "killer ratings" for the most part - it's why shows like Nikita have gone on for 3 seasons even though their ratings are abysmal, it's because Nikita has a cultural following, which helps with the WB as a brand.

I would actually say that Warner Brothers makes 5 times more money from their tv productions on other stations than on the CW.. but it's still very important for them to keep their brand high.. in doing so, they are able to market at a much more stellar rate across the board.



Arrow's been successful on the print side for DC as well. Green Arrow comic sales have risen and they're about to reprint some trades of the older material to capitalize on the momentum from the show.

I don't think Arrow's going away anytime soon.

exactly, a lot of people don't really understand how theCW programming works.. it's easily the closest "network" station to how Cable TV shows work.. except in a more.. screwed up way.

I think of Warner Bros. as the Samsung / Sony of the Entertainment world. They make sooo much money off of so many different avenues, that TheCW itself is only a piece of the puzzle.. it ends up being great for people that watch shows like Supernatural or Smallville, because you end up getting some great TV, even after the ratings have dropped enough to justify the show being cancelled.. in that regards - theCW is the closest thing you get to an old school TV show setup.. the show might actually survive past 4 seasons, just because theCW is always hoping for better ratings.. and giving development teams "2nd chances"
