Programming News: The CW gossip




The CW has ordered another 2 episodes of its teen drama Gossip Girl (giving it a total of 24 episodes this season). After a lacklustre Season 1, averaging only 2.6M and 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demo it has risen to 3.4M and 1.8 this season.

Production of The CW's new Sunday shows Valentine and Easy Money has shut down. This isn't good news as The CW recently sold their Sunday night to Media Rights Capital. According to an insider, this hiatus was pre-planned, but production for MRC's other show In Harm's Way has not ceased.

An insider has stated the reason behind this shutdown is to give the writers some time to catch up on the shows' scripts. hmmm... However, production hasn't entirely ceased as a spokeswoman for MRC has noted both Valentine and Easy Money have been given at least 13 episodes this fall.

Both Valentine and Easy Money have achieved ordinary figures, with Valentine's second episode netting 1M and 0.4/1 (rating/share) in the 18-49 demo and Easy Money pulling 750k and 0.3/1 in the 18-49 demo. The only good news for Valentine is it didn't nudge a bit from last weeks figures, however Easy Money lost 25% in viewers and demos.

I couldn't careless about Easy Money, but Valentine has a lot of potential. Fingers crossed this doesn't mean the cancellation of one of my favourite shows of the new season (Valentine)
