Well, there's a valid reason. :
Of course, one doesn't "cancel" a network....
Found the answer. They were 10-year agreements, signed in 2006. So, the soonest the network could end operations without breach would be the summer of 2016. Coincidentally, that's when the Netflix and Hulu agreements run out too, so perhaps that's the plan?
The biggest thing killing The CW is it's ownership (same reason MyNet will never go anywhere). It's owned by CBS, so it will always be crippled by the fact that CBS wouldn't want to cannibalize itself.

Given the usual network decision-making of late, in that scenario, it wouldn't be a surprise if CBS was trying to hold down the CW, and ended up tripping over itself and making the CW bigger....mnradiofan said:
Maybe The CW should try adding a few foreign (English) shows that aren't already available on cable. Some of those might find a niche with American audiences.

Are you crazy?! Nobody in the USA speaks Esperanto(other than a few linguists).
It's not about the vampires per se, they say it's a "love" story they like.
And it's not just young idiot females. Some of those idiot females are into their 40s. ;D

I never fail to be amazed by the interest women seem to have
in vampires, "beasts" (as in "Beauty And The..."), and stalkers.
I've dated at least two women in my time who love this sort of
thing, and one of them watches practically every procedural
(think "CSI" and its spinoffs) that comes on. The other one was
a fanatic about Darren McGavin's "Kolchak: The Night Stalker,"
but her real obsession was "The Six Million Dollar Man" (also, she
would never watch "All In The Family," even when it was number
one, preferring "Emergency!"). True, both of them can watch whatever
they want, but I do find their preference for action-adventure and cop
shows as interesting as that for shows about guys with a dark side.

Oh, and one more thing.. for those who will ask.. Telefutura's 620,000 viewers probably ranked it considerably lower than 33rd so I didn't include it on this list. Also, My Network TV is no longer rated as a network.. it's rated as a syndication block. If it were rated as a network, it would likely show up on this list with around a million to 1.5 million viewers.. which would push CW even farther down the list.
Could CW be considered a sort of hybrid network, considering that they are on OTA stations mostly in the top 100 markets, and on their 100+ network on cable in other places?

In the pre-DTV age, yes but as mentioned above, most of the 100 and above markets are subchannels that take most of their programming from CW+

It's amazing that these idiot females Vampire lovers are the ones that always show up on Judge Judy or the crime shows after being and taken for every dime they have, abused or killed because the are attracted to the bad boys and dangerous types in their demented idea of love. Notice that they are usually obese gross looking creatures and the men are usually great looking. The women are so needy and stupid that that they can't figure out what wrong with this picture.
