Departing CW Chief Dennis Miller Tells Staffers Network Overhaul Was At Times “Bumpy And Uncomfortable”, But “Only Path Forward”


Departing CW chief Dennis Miller says the overhaul of the network was sometimes "bumpy and uncomfortable," but was "the only path forward."

I promised Perry I would bring in a topflight team in all the key positions, broaden the network’s program offerings, add premium sports and establish a clear path to profitability. As the network continues to gain momentum, I feel now is the perfect time to hand the reins over to my longtime colleague and friend Brad Schwartz and the stellar team we have assembled. We’ve experienced record ratings growth in the past few weeks with live sports, primetime wrestling and our new game shows “Scrabble” and “Trivial Pursuit.” By making all these strategic moves, we have significantly enhanced value for our affiliates.
