An exact headcount was not im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely available, though sources say others were impacted by the layoffs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    While losing the heads of current and development are a big blow to The CW\u2019s efforts to continue making scripted originals, this is not a complete dismantling of its scripted executives as sources say some lower-level staffers \u2014 i.e., those with smaller salaries \u2014 are being retained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Reps for The CW did not respond to <em>THR<\/em>\u2019s multiple requests for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The workforce reduction marks the latest blow to The CW under station group Nexstar, which took control of the younger-skewing broadcaster last year after buying a 75 percent stake in the network from CBS Studios and Warner Bros. TV. The latter two studios each control a minority 12.5 percent share in The CW as Nexstar has remained contractually committed to airing all of its holdover originals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    For her part, Hirsch has overseen development since Thom Sherman was plucked from The CW to CBS under then-president Kelly Kahl. (Kahl and Sherman were both let go from CBS last year.) Hirsch has had her hand in scripted at The CW since 2006 after serving in the network\u2019s current programming department and working on such shows as <em>Gossip Girl, Jane the Virgin, Arrow, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend <\/em>and <em>Riverdale, <\/em>among countless others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Roberts, meanwhile, has been with The CW since its days as the former WB Network in 2004. He\u2019s been head of current programming since 2006.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Since Nexstar took control, former CW CEO Mark Pedowitz \u2014 who had been expected to stay \u2014 opted to leave his post as broadcast\u2019s longest-tenured network chief. Layoffs soon followed, impacting the heads of marketing, finance and PR, among others.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Nexstar installed Dennis Miller as president of The CW. In turn, Miller tapped former Pop TV president Brad Schwartz to oversee entertainment at The CW. Under Nexstar, Schwartz is tasked with making The CW profitable by 2025. Schwartz is expected to keep what sources say could be as many as only three U.S. scripted originals on The CW. The network has already renewed <em>All American <\/em>as one of those few <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> expected to remain under Nexstar. Additionally, Schwartz this week brought in former NBCU exec Heather Olander as the newly created role of head of unscripted programming for The CW. Olander and Schwartz are expected to populate the network with low-cost reality programming and foreign scripted acquisitions. The latter costs considerably less than U.S. originals like <em>Superman &amp; Lois, <\/em>which sources peg comes with a $5 million per episode price tag.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The timing of the departures comes in the middle of broadcast\u2019s annual pilot season. The CW has not picked up a single pilot for development next season in what is clearly another sign of the network\u2019s future under Nexstar. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
