The CW sucks balls and now the network is starting to feel the major pinch from money grubbing suits who want it to make massive moola in their 18 – 35 demographic. So basically, as early as next week (I can pray can’t I) the CW will be no more and Gossip Girls will not be picked up for renewal cause only a handful of folks are actually watching it. Yay!!!
I really feel the CW must have the most idiotic group of marketers ever. They have buzzed about shows like America’s Next Top Model, Smallville and Gossip Girls, yet they failed to make that become ad dollars from advertisers. Listen up CW it’s pretty easy. Everyone is online and only poor people and old folk still watch TV. I want my content instantly and when I can’t download episodes from your site I’m heading to some illegal downloading spot which features the programs without commercials. Taking Gossip Girls off of the internet to get people to watch the show on TV was stupid and most likely lost you a shit load of dedicated watchers who would rather skip the show then sit at home on a Monday night to tune in.
The station may have survived if they had a better web strategy, formed more communities around their programs, and reduced television commercials to focus on more in episode promotions and product placements. I’m sure the networks run by some old dude in a suit who thinks Razor Scooters are still the shit.
Hopefully, (due to the young fashions it supports) Gossip Girls will find a new home online. Streaming episodes and all.
Get with the program. TV is down right retro. Long live the internet.
