A Little about the CW Channel

Owned by CBS Entertainment Group, and Warner Media, CW is one of the most popular American free-to-air television networks born in 2006. Initially, the channel used to air content targeted specifically at young women in the 18–34 age bracket, but gradually it expanded the scope of its programming lineup to attract men too—with the result that today, the CW audience is pretty much equally divided between the two genders.

CW offers everything from mystery to soap operas, horror anthologies to superhero dramas—which ultimately makes it one of the top-demanded channels in the United States. It gets quite perplexing to choose from over a decade’s worth of incredible original content. Although CW is home to DC series, the channel offers a variety of shows from diverse genres that are a must-watch for all TV-buffs. Some classic original titles that deserve a special mention are: The 100, Gilmore Girls, Jane the Virgin, Veronica Mars, One Tree Hill, America’s Next Top Model, The Vampire Diaries.

Given that CW is a free-to-air channel, it is aired via the network’s local affiliates. In regions where there is no local affiliate, audiences can tune into the national feed on CW Plus.
