Which mini-network will close first? ,My Network TV or the CW
- Thread starter TVCOOL
- Start date
My Network TV stopped being a "network" a few years ago and elected to become a "Programming Service" ala Prime Time Entertainment Network. It will stay around as long as Fox has secondary stations to fill.
MyNet has much lower overhead than CW. I say CW.

,White Collar ,The Walking Dead and/or Covert Affairs around the 2015-2016 TV season).
It would help if My Network TV had new (first-run) programming once again...
Or perhaps CW will follow MyNet's lead and become a programming service.

Actually, from a profitability standpoint and a ratings standpoint, no it wouldn't. While you may not like repeats, many people do, so much so that ratings and revenue are both up since the shift in programming. You're not getting network ratings (hence the reason they dropped the classification) but the stations and the service are making more money now than in the past, for less overhead.
Still, it would help My Network TV to have some first-run programming.
And I suppose that's why MyNet keeps popping up in the syndicated ratings list. I gotta wonder about 'Cold Case' and 'Without A Trace'...Are the numbers combined together for ALL the episodes from each show? Or are the two eps shown in primetime rated separately from the respective syndicated telecasts?

Would they take the MNTV approach and provide programming for the weeknight timeslot only? I can't imagine continuing to air the Saturday animation block; let the affiliates program Saturday as they see fit (like MNTV does).
What changes, if any, would the "CW Plus" service undergo?
The CW has some serious problems. My Network TV has a low overhead and seems to be fulfilling its core mission. CBS will do a lot to fix CW before closing it, but that is a possibility.
