ruby24 January 26, 2018 Share January 26, 2018 Okay, so Flash is airing a rerun on Feb 13th, despite Black Lightning still being new, so it looks like it's not going to air during the Olympics. Finally, an answer about that! 2 Link to comment
Trini January 31, 2018 Share January 31, 2018 Quote “The Flash” (0.9) and “Black Lightning” (0.8) were both up vs. last week for The CW, http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/daily-ratings/tv-ratings-tuesday-jan-30-2018/ Quote The Flash (2.57 mil/0.9) rose 21 and two tenths to its best numbers since “Crisis on Earth-X.” http://tvline.com/2018/01/31/president-trump-state-of-the-union-ratings-2018/ Quote As the Big 4 cut to SOTU coverage from 9 – 11 PM on Tuesday, the CW stuck to its superhero series for the most part. Looks like it was strong counterprogramming as the Scarlett Speedster and the Cress Williams led newbie were rewarded with a 29% and 33% respectively jump from last week among adults 18-49s. Now, as Flash hit its highest rated episode since the latest Arrowverse crossover of late November, http://deadline.com/2018/01/state-of-the-union-tv-ratings-donald-trump-barack-obama-1202274787/ Link to comment
ruby24 January 31, 2018 Share January 31, 2018 Lol. Kinda makes me wonder if airing it during the Olympics might actually be a smart idea... 1 Link to comment
quarks February 1, 2018 Share February 1, 2018 Eh. I saw a number of people on Twitter state that they were deliberately tuning to/turning to counterprogramming during the SOTU as an act of political protest. This included a lot of people who seemed to think that the SOTU started at 8. The Olympics are a totally different game, if you'll pardon the pun. Plus, as per CBS, a number of CW viewers stream the CW shows in off primetime hours (that is, after 11 pm EST/on weekends) - exactly when NBC plans to offer both taped broadcast (on weekends) and live streaming coverage of the Olympics. Two years ago, NBC released numbers showing that some of the live streaming and delayed streaming Olympics events rivalled live broadcast numbers from other networks. The Winter Olympics have never been as popular, but I suspect the CW took a look at those same numbers and figured they'd be just as well off going with reruns for a couple of weeks. Link to comment
paulvdb February 2, 2018 Share February 2, 2018 The SOTU airs on all broadcast networks except the CW. That means that ratings on the CW (and its predecessors WB and UPN) often go up when they air original programming against it. People who are not interested in politics have the CW as the only option on broadcast. The Olympics will only air on NBC so people who are not interested have all the other broadcast networks to choose from. Most of them will be in repeats, but even those repeats will attract some viewers. So the CW will be less likely to get a ratings boost airing original programming against the Olympics. I think the CW will get some new viewers who are not interested in the Olympics or the repeats on the other networks. But the CW will also lose some viewers who want to watch the Olympics. And that's usually a higher number than the viewers who would watch the SOTU. So I think the best the CW can hope for is that ratings won't drop during the Olympics, but even that is based more on optimism than realism. Link to comment

Trini March 14, 2018 Share March 14, 2018 Wow, 3 weeks in a row off -- hopefully, that means the last 7 episodes will run uninterrupted. 4/10 -- 4.17 4/17 -- 4.18 4/24 -- 4.19 5/01 -- 4.20 ? 5/08 -- 4.21 ? 5/15 -- 4.22 ? 5/22 -- 4.23 ? Link to comment
ruby24 March 14, 2018 Share March 14, 2018 Yeah, they probably will. I really HATE the schedule in the second half of the season. It's so erratic, you never know when a break is coming or how long it will be, and it hurts the ratings too! Link to comment

Trini March 15, 2018 Share March 15, 2018 CW released it's schedule for the spring season finales, and The Flash's finale is May 22; so it will run uninterrupted when new episodes return April 10. 1 Link to comment

Lady Calypso April 11, 2018 Share April 11, 2018 So, not so solid news for The Flash's return from their long hiatus: last night's episode only had 1.8 millions viewers and 0.6 in the demo, hitting a new series low (the show typically gets an average of 2 million). I mean, for The CW's standards, it's still high, but the numbers aren't great for the show (at least in live viewership). Link to comment
wingster55 April 11, 2018 Share April 11, 2018 Honestly with the Netflix deal and iirc losing the Chicago affiliate ratings will continue to be like this. Link to comment
Trini April 11, 2018 Share April 11, 2018 I was expecting a dip after the hiatus. Ratings are going down all over; but at least the show stays #1 for CW. It's odd to me that they still haven't found anything that can top Flash after 4 seasons. 1 Link to comment

You'd think Caitlin Snow fans would care about her actual storylines instead of pushing a fake team that conveniently excludes all the black people. The ratings for Run, Iris, Run increased as well but Iris haters claimed that the episode flopped. I must say that I love karma. 3 Link to comment

ruby24 May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 The crossover will air in December this year, probably meaning the first week. I can't figure out if this will be episode 8 or 9 though. Normally it's episode 8, but this year that's the Flash's 100th, and apparently the crossover centers Arrow and is bringing in Batwoman. Are they really going to make The Flash's 100th episode about that? If they move the crossover to episode 9, they could have 8 to themselves at least. Link to comment
wingster55 May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 Well they had the crossover in 2016 during Arrow's 100th so I don't know why they wouldn't do that again. Also Flash is likely gonna take a week off for the US election. Link to comment
Trini May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 I'd still assume that the crossover will be episode 8. CW might be starting the season later; might be related to Supergirl starting filming later because of Melissa Benoist's Broadway role this summer. 3 hours ago, wingster55 said: Also Flash is likely gonna take a week off for the US election.

Trini May 29, 2018 Share May 29, 2018 So Season 4 ended up with a 0.8 average for the season; if the trend continues, I'm guessing Season 5 will be 0.6. 1 Link to comment
Trini June 20, 2018 Share June 20, 2018 CW is airing the iHeartRadio Music Festival on Oct. 7 and 8; and the past couple of years they've aired the season premieres either in the same week or after the festival. So I'm thinking that they start premiere week with The Flash on Tues. Oct 9. That would put it ahead of the other DC shows by a week, but assuming they don't air a new episode on Election Day (Tues. Nov. 6), all the shows should line up by crossover time - presumably the first week in December. (Now watch the network put out the schedule this week and prove me wrong!) 1 Link to comment
Trini June 20, 2018 Share June 20, 2018 Well, that was fast! CW Fall schedule: Flash and Black Lightning will indeed premiere October 9th. 1 Link to comment
Trini July 26, 2018 Share July 26, 2018 Just wanted to note here that the crossover event will be different in Season 5; it will be episode 9 of each show (sans Legends) instead of the 8th. And Season 5, episode 8 -The Flash's 100th- will be the mid-season finale instead. ---- Probable scheduling for the first half: Oct. 9 - 5.01 Oct. 16 - 5.02 Oct. 23 - 5.03 Oct. 30 - 5.04 Nov. 6 - rerun? (U.S.A. Election Day) Nov. 13 - 5.05 Nov. 20 - 5.06 Nov. 27 - 5.07 Dec. 4 - 5.08 (100th episode / mid-season finale) Dec. 11 - 5.09 (Crossover Week) 1 Link to comment
Trini August 21, 2018 Share August 21, 2018 The Flash changes timeslots for the first time ever with this year's crossover event. It will start the crossover on Sunday Dec. 9; then Arrow on Monday, and Supergirl on Tuesday. 1 Link to comment
