tv echo May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 (edited) CW Executives on Sunday Strategy, Reduced Ad Loads and Passing on 'Supernatural' Spinoff MAY 17, 2018 6:56am PT by Lacey Rosehttps://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/cw-executives-sunday-strategy-reduced-ad-loads-passing-supernatural-spinoff-1112754 Quote Mark Pedowitz and his CW exec fielded questions from the press about their fall schedule ahead of the CW upfront presentation Thursday morning. Rather than focus on his five new series, the press grilled CW president Mark Pedowitz about his decision to expand his programming from five nights to six a week. Come fall, The CW will open up Sunday nights, which will feature the original scripted programming pairing of Supergirl and Charmed. To hear Pedowitz tell it, it was important to have both an established returning series (the former) and a brand-name new one (the latter) as it would help do some of the heavy lifting in marketing the network as well as the shows on the night. Choosing series as high-profile as he did also served as a powerful signal to advertisers and affiliates alike that The CW was committed to Sundays. As for the broader decision to add the night, Pedowitz made clear during his half-hour call with reporters ahead of his network’s upfront presentation Thursday morning that the more programming that The CW has, the better off the business is. “It was also a statement that we do believe in broadcast,” he told reporters. “We want to stake a claim that we want to grow as others contract.” As Pedowitz sees it, the ability to expand to 12 hours in the fall was a sign of confidence from The CW affiliates, parent companies and business model, which has been boosted of late care of a lucrative SVOD deal with Netflix. Which is not to say the move to Sundays will come easy. Later in the call, his marketing chief Rick Haskins noted that the marketing push — for the new night as well as the shows — would begin early. In fact, he revealed that the stars of Charmed and Supergirl would be busy recording promos for "CW Sundays" next week to air on the local stations as soon as possible; a national campaign will come closer to air.* * * Also included in the call was a considerably more frank synopsis of the ad marketplace by The CW's EVP network sales Rob Tuck. Asked to address the network's strategy with regards to reducing ad time and charging premiums for those reduced ad loads, which media buyers have heard a lot about from other netowrks this week, Tuck stated that his network had no formalized plans to do so at this time. "The buzz around the industry right now is beginning to get the real sense of the cost of doing limited commercial runs, and the clients, most of the clients, are hesitant on the premium that would be pushed back towards them," he said. "So, we're certainly open to trying to figure out these things in the future, but I think the clients are speaking." The CW Expands to Sundays, Making Room for All 5 Superhero Shows and a Charmed Reboot By Jason Lynch May 17, 2018http://www.adweek.com/tv-video/the-cw-expands-to-sundays-making-room-for-all-5-superhero-shows-and-a-charmed-reboot/ Quote “We wanted to have an established show there and a name-brand show there,” to prove to network affiliates that The CW was serious about Sunday programming, Pedowitz told reporters this morning. The additional night of shows will increase The CW’s national ad inventory by 20 percent, said Rob Tuck, evp, network sales. * * * Pedowitz hopes that show will fill the void caused by the departures of Jane the Virgin, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and iZombie after this season. “We will miss each of those shows in terms of what they have done to help the perception of The CW across the board,” he said. “We do believe we have crafted a one-hour comedy model, with a little bit of drama in it.” * * * Tuck said that The CW won’t be following NBCUniversal and Fox’s lead in reducing ad loads next season. “Most of the clients are hesitant on the premium that would be pushed back towards them,” he said, adding that the network is open to that prospect in the future.

way2interested May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 LoT s4 tease: http://collider.com/legends-of-tomorrow-season-4-synopsis/#images Quote After defeating the demon Mallus by cuddling him to death with a giant stuffed animal named Beebo, the Legends are ready to ease off the gas. Sara (Caity Lotz) and her team join Ava Sharpe (Jes Macallan) and the Time Bureau to help clean up the last few remaining anachronisms. The job seems straightforward enough until Constantine (Matt Ryan) arrives to inform them that, in solving one major problem, they have created another, much larger one. When the Legends let time crumble in order to release and defeat Mallus, the barrier between worlds softened. History is now infected with “Fugitives” – magical creatures from myths, fairytales, and legends. Having been expelled throughout time by people like Constantine, these Fugitives are now returning to our world in droves and making a real mess of things. As the Time Bureau is distrustful of and ill-equipped to deal with magic, the Legends must team up with everyone’s favorite demonologist to set history back on track. Meh, I'm not a fan of mixing magic with sci-fi and fantasy wasn't a fan of the Constantine episode, but we'll see how it works out. 1 Link to comment
Sakura12 May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 I'm just happy they included myths and fairytales and not just demons. I think it would fun to see the Legends deal with fairies, mermaids, or leprechauns. 9 Link to comment

apinknightmare May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 Guess they're moving the timing around this year. Is everything debuting later, or is the crossover going to be the MSF? Quote Arrow star Stephen Amell made the announcement at The CW’s upfront presentation on Thursday. “We’re incredibly excited to announce that we’ll be doing another crossover event this fall on the CW, and we’ll be introducing a new character,” Amell said. For the very first time appearing, we’ll be fighting alongside Batwoman, which is terrific. The crossover is going to make it to air in December. I need to leave right now and start filming it.” 1 Link to comment
Mary0360 May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 I wonder if they are introducing Batwoman so if this is Arrows last season they can spin her and Dinah off into a Birds of Prey show. Just now, apinknightmare said: Guess they're moving the timing around this year. Is everything debuting later, or is the crossover going to be the MSF? It's the Flash 100th this year right? Trust them to change the schedule so The Flash isn't overshadowed by the crossover. 8 Link to comment
Velocity23 May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 It could just mean the first week in December. Also seeing how last year they had a 2 day event i could see them moving Flash after Supergirl on Sunday. Link to comment
ruby24 May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 (edited) I think it may just mean the first week in December and not necessarily the Christmas episodes. I just checked and I know that at least The Flash will be taking the week of November 6th off (Election Day), so if it premiered on say, October 9th, that would still work out for the crossover to air the first week of December, followed by the Christmas episode on the 11th. That still means the crossover would be episode 8, which would be its 100th episode though, so now I'm not sure about that. The Flash's 100th is going to be part of a crossover centering Arrow? But if premiere week is the first week of October, then the December crossover could be episode 9, leaving their 100th for the last week of November. Maybe they'll do that and forego a Christmas episode this year. Edited May 17, 2018 by ruby24 1 Link to comment

scarynikki12 May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 I doubt they’ll do a Birds of Prey spinoff. If they were to do another spinoff I’d assume Batwoman alone. I wonder if they lobbied hard to get Batman and DC offered Kate as an alternative. 3 Link to comment
SmallScreenDiva May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I'm doubting a Birds of Prey spinoff, not with the characters they have now. Although, they did manage to put together a decent show in Legends of Tomorrow with actors who're not really leads. If they put together the right actresses, who knows? Edited May 17, 2018 by SmallScreenDiva 2 Link to comment
Starfish35 May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 (edited) No, I don't see them doing a BoP series, especially not with the BoP movie having just been announced a month or so ago (even though we don't even know for sure who's in it, other than Harley Quinn and Batgirl). And IF they were going to do BoP, Batwoman wouldn't be the entry character I don't think. As far as I know, she's never been associated with BoP, although my comics knowledge is as always Wikipedia-based, so I defer to the experts - lol. :) I think it's more likely that they're thinking of doing a series revolving around her. I can see the interest of adding an Arrowverse show revolving around a lesbian lead character, especially one that had never been featured in live-action before. Sorry, Arrow fans, but I'm a bit disappointed at Arrow again being the key to the crossover. Not surprised, but disappointed. I was hoping for more from the Legends side this year. Oh well.

way2interested May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 At this point I'm guessing a single, solo spinoff series to be introduced midseason-ish to pair off/take over from Arrow s8 with s8 getting renewed with a short season. 2 Link to comment

scarynikki12 May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 Batwoman has worked with the Birds but she’s never (to my knowledge) been a member. That’s another reason I doubt they’ll get a spinoff (the movie being the main one). 1 Link to comment
scarynikki12 May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 Also the two essential characters needed for a BoP show are Barbara Gordon and Dinah Lance. If they were going to give Cassidy a spinoff they’d have done it already and Babs is slated for the movie verse so that’s a guaranteed no. 3 Link to comment
Sakura12 May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 (edited) If DC won't let Jeremiah call himself the Joker on Gotham than they sure won't give up the Birds of Prey title to tv. Edited May 17, 2018 by Sakura12 1 Link to comment

tv echo May 17, 2018 Share May 17, 2018 (edited) Next Arrowverse Crossover to Include Batwoman, Add the City of Gotham By Matt Webb Mitovich / May 17 2018, 8:57 AM PDThttp://tvline.com/2018/05/17/arrow-flash-supergirl-legends-crossover-2018-batwoman-gotham/ Quote This year’s Arrowverse crossover will be battier than ever, as Green Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl and the Legends of Tomorrow fight alongside… Batwoman. “We will be doing another crossover event this fall on The CW [and] we will be introducing a new character. We will be fighting alongside Batwoman,” Arrow star Stephen Amell shared on Thursday at the network’s Upfronts event. Speaking with TVLine earlier on the red carpet, Amell said that he knew all the details of the next crossover event (which will air in early December), adding that whereas in the past they have gone “big” — fighting aliens and Nazis from another Earth, for example — this time the premise would be “very specific.” In turn, as one might surmise, “We’re adding the city of Gotham into the Arrowverse,” added CW president Mark Pedowitz, promising “another full-throttled action packed event.” Previously, Arrow once name-dropped Bruce Wayne, in an ad-lib suggested by Amell.
