So is CW dying or what?

Batwoman and LoT were low rated shows by the CW's standards so them getting canceled doesn't really mean anything for the CW's future, they currently 2 other DC shows in the pipeline plus the ones that have already been renewed + the All-American franchise that is very popular

[a_files06]

Legends was #7 in the ratings list for TheCW way ahead of Nancy Drew and Riverdale (that is currently the lowest rated series on the network....lowest, below Dynasty)

Those other low rated shows don’t get cancelled because they are CBS shows. I think the original agreement with WB and CBS is that they needed to have an equal amount of shows on the air. Since all of the WB properties are more popular and rarely ever cancelled, the shows CBS end up sticking around to keep the balance.

The CW itself has never been profitable.

It ended up being used just to produce shows to would make money in foreign markets or through Netflix deals.

Out of all of the shows it had ever had, only a handful would bring decent money with the ads.. but even then, it's never been enough for the network to profit "from itself."
