The CW ~ Expanding 

To 7 Nights

More than three years after adding Sunday fare to its slate, The CW is going for the full “seven-nights-a-week,” by programming primetime Saturday as well.

Effective with the upcoming 2021-22 TV season, The CW will expand its primetime schedule to include Saturday, it was announced by network CEO Mark Pedowitz

The CW will kick off its first Saturday night of primetime programming

on October 2, with Night 1 of the iHeartRadio Music Festival.

 (Night 2 will follow on Sunday, October 3.)

The network’s regularly scheduled Saturday line-up will be announced at a later date — perhaps as early as at the May 25 Upfront presentation.
