The CW network will stop broadcasting the long-running World Wrestling Entertainment show âFriday Night Smackdownâ at the end of this broadcast season, the two companies said. Neither company gave any reasons for ending the partnership, though WWE said it was in negotiations to find a new home for the show. âSmackdown,â which had its premiere on UPN in 1999, moved to CW in 2006 when UPN merged with WB. The show has averaged 4.9 million viewers this season, second to âAmericaâs Next Top Model,â CWâs most popular program. But among the 18-to-34 viewer group, the show is only seventh. Last month WWE extended its contract with the USA channel for another show, âRaw,â through 2010.

Sometimes a TV series needs a tune-up. Tweak the plots, juice the promotion and it may end up a challenger in the ratings race.

For a new television network, the CW sure has plenty of returning shows. Remember the cute kids and their minister dad from the WB's 7th Heaven? It's right where it used to be on Monday night.

As I said above I'm glued to the TV, but I'm also on Twitter, and blogging, and email, and IM and I'm subscribed to hundreds of RSS feeds, and I've been noticing that slowly the TV news organizations are integrating new Internet services with their TV offerings. They're all getting started, and eventually I'm pretty sure they'll be where Yahoo is now. The thing is, it works. For example, newmediajim is a cameraman for NBC News and he's on Twitter and sometimes I'm watching the other side of his camera on MSNBC and twittering with him before and after. A guy named creepsleepy is a radio guy in Manchester, interviewing presidential candidates, wouldn't it be great if I could listen to his interviews while he twitters his progress? Well, there's no doubt that soon we'll be doing that. We're finally really at the convergence so many have predicted for so long. With the help of a few members of the community Yahoo can get there first. BTW, I read on the NY Times site that Yahoo is going to open up more to developers. Hmmm. If you want to impress end-users and shareholders run it in MSM. If you want to get through to developers, use the developer blogs. Let us have the story first, otherwise you don't seem very serious about it.

I haven&#8217;t talked about the PvP comic book for a while and there&#8217;s a reason for that: I&#8217;ve been avoiding the subject. I made a lot of extra work for myself last year what with the animated series, moving into a new office, bringing my store in house, etc. Because of that, I got behind on [...]

Tycho: The whole reason I wrote that other post was to link the new article about it at 1up, and I didn't even manage to do that - here you go. In a way, I'm glad I didn't link it before - in the intervening period, a new episode of the 1up show has dropped that has a ton of interview and video material for every part of Episode 2 - including TF2 and Portal. It's the top video on this page. Unbelievably delicious.(CW)TB
