The CW needs to dump Dawn Ostroff. That's a given. What helped Fox become the power network it is today is the fact that they shocked everyone when they acquired NFL Football after the 1994 season ended. It started a huge chain reaction. Fox had some of those same stations that UPN and WB had prior to the addition of NFL football. Once NFL football came on board, several stations from the Big 3 (NBC, ABC, CBS) went to Fox. I know that here in Dallas, what is now the CW station was once Fox, what is now the CBS affiliate was once an Indy station and what is now the Fox affiliate is was once the CBS affiliate.
Of course, the leftovers became UPN and WB and then the CW and MyNetwork. The only way for the CW to survive is if they dump Ostroff and go with a different direction. Acquiring TV broadcast rights to a major sporting event might save the CW.
