We knew it was coming, but that doesn’t make it hurt any less: Warner Bros and Paramount confirmed the plan to sell off their jointly-owned broadcast network The CW to nationwide station owner Nexstar is a go. Nexstar will take 75 percent ownership of the network, while WB and CBS will take 12.5% shares each, allowing them to continue producing original scripted content for the thing, though not nearly as much. CEO Mark Pedowitz will remain in his position as head of CW for now.

The voyage begins Sunday, September 24.

First impressions are important, but that doesn’t mean it’s always what it seems. Supergirl rocked the world by getting the highest ratings for any superhero show on any network when it debuted on CBS in October. However, the rating have been dipping ever since, some would say to very dangerous levels. Now, while the show has been given a full season order, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll be renewed for a second season.
