The CW bails on Sunday bombs, brings back reruns

Our plan is to program Sunday with distinctive, first-rate programming that can quickly stabilize the night. We will work with you to promote and market this new night, with a lineup that will include quality scripted series and contemporary theatrical titles. Here is the lineup:
5:00 – 6:00 pm: EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS/THE GAME
6:00 – 7:00 pm: THE DREW CAREY SHOW
