Differences Between The CW and The "Big Four" Networks
The CW airs only two hours of network programming during the primetime hours on Monday through Fridays only, compared to the three Monday through Saturday and four Sunday primetime hours offered by the Big Three networks (MyNetworkTV also does not carry any weekend primetime programming, having turned network time on Saturday evenings over to its affiliates in 2009). This primetime scheduling allows for many of the network's affiliates to air local newscasts during the 10 p.m. (ET) time period. In comparison to ABC and CBS, The CW also airs the fewest hours devoted to daytime programming on weekdays, running only one hour of programming each weekday (compared to 4½ hours on CBS and three hours on ABC), NBC also runs only one hour of daytime programming each weekday (not counting its morning news program Today). Because of these two reasons, the schedules of the majority of The CW's affiliates are largely composed of syndicated programming.

Society has less time for the concerns of those who raise the young or try to teach them.”

“Telephone poles were matchsticks, put there to be snapped off at a whim. Dogs trotting across the road were suddenly big trucks. Old ladies turned into moving—vans. Everything was too bright, but very funny and made for my delight. And about half a mile from my long liquid breakfast I turned carefully down a side street and parked, and sat beaming happily through the tannic fog for about an hour, remembering how witty we all had been, how handsome and talented ...

“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
