TV Hot Spot: News

The CW CANCELS: Online Nation!

Post by: Sal

Four weeks into the fall season, the first casualty finally drops: The CW has pulled its user-generated video clip show “Online Nation” from its Sunday night slot. The CW will replace “Nation” with repeats of sitcom “Aliens in America.”

The most recent episode of “Nation” earned a 0.2 rating among adults 18 to 49. That number matched its lead-in, magazine show “CW Now.” But “Now” was pre-sold under a unique commercial-free sponsorship arrangement with Mediavest that has helped protect the show.

“Aliens” got off to a rough start in The CW’s Monday night comedy block, but this week showed some ratings growth in key demos.

Fox has also pulled a show from its schedule, the docu-soap reality series “Nashville,” but the network claimed the series will return in November.
