Gossip Girl Re-Runs Threatened in Washington
Is this a sign of things to come for The CW? The ratings-desperate network, which carries such high-brow fare as Gossip Girl and America's Next Top Model, has disappeared from a northwest corner of Washington State. That's because the local affiliate in Yakima (about 140 miles southeast of Seattle), KCWK-TV, has declared bankruptcy and gone off-air. [Y-K] Some customers, however, needn't fret: Cable and satellite subscribers can still get their Tyra fix, and the channel may return when the FCC mandate for all-digital broadcasts kicks in. And had The CW not yanked its most popular show off its website, this wouldn't really be a problem now, would it?

"America's Next Top Model" is the CW's most popular show. "Gossip Girl" has fewer than half the viewers of Tyra's crapfest.
I see LOTS of TV Stations declaring Bankruptcy in the future. People are turning off their Tvs in record numbers, disgruntled by factors such as the over-long Election Coverage, the Lack of Quality Entertainment and the huge numbers of Commercials that infest our TV Shows. With the Recession upon us I see another victim about to emerge, the Cable/Satellite TV industry. Resiliant to past Recessions, their Programming is taking the same path as Broadcast TV. As people seek ways to cut costs, I see quite a few of them discontinuing their Subscriptions to TV Services, and seeking their entertainment and information elsewhere!
