I like that the CW tends to have long shows - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

To be honest I don't think CBS and Time Warner consider the CW a broadcast network. I was reading an interview with the TW CEO and he mentioned that they have no interest in owning a broadcast network. But I was like.. you co-own The CW? Both CEOs hardly ever mention the network at all.

So I believe they don't consider it a traditional broadcast network and it's basically a cable channel that has affiliates and is over the air. Production costs are probably on par with cable or even lower. Plus their main target is female, and there are only two or three shows on that network that will appeal to young men. So it's a niche network and the ratings pretty much showcase that.

The only question remains is why CBS is still a co-owner of the network. Most of the shows are solely owned by Warner Bros (except 90210, Life Unexpected, and Gossip Girl), and the network has never made a profit.
