The network, which targets younger viewers[1], is a joint venture between CBS Corporation, owner of UPN, and Warner Bros. Entertainment, a subsidiary of Time Warner, majority owner of The WB.

The network began operations on Monday, September 18, 2006 with last season's 7th Heaven finale and then an Entertainment Tonight-produced show entitled ET Presents: The CW: The Launch of a New Network. On September 19, the same format was used with last season's Gilmore Girls finale and an encore showing of ET Presents with additional footage of the launch party from Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank. However, the network marketed its formal launch date as Wednesday, September 20, with the 2-hour season premiere of America's Next Top Model. [1]

On Time-Warner in my area, it's channel 53.

Of course, nobody even noticed the other two were gone!

Very informative Carl! However, I appreciate your knowledge in the umpiring rules arena a little more

Then buy the BRD!

The best thing about the CW is that they brought back Just Legal, starring Don Johnson, which is a terrific show. The WB had dropped it unceremoniously after only 4 episodes, when they had 13 in the can. It was brought back, no doubt, by popular demand. We had a very popular thread at the WB forum dedicated to bringing the show back.

I already bought a copy back in 02. But since I only work NCAA ball and I've been trained on OBR, I really don't have a need to get the latest edition. Sorry

But you weren't trained very well in the OBR, else you would have known the pitcher can throw to a base to make an appeal while still in contact with the rubber.

The BRD has 346 official interpretations, 256 of which relate to NCAA or OBR.

An interesting stat they gave was that in Andy Pettitte's career, he's only been called for five balks. Four of them have been called by Angel Hernandez.

If the other three Angel called were for failing to step towards 1B when throwing there, then Angel probably got those right. Pettitte does that BIG TIME, but of course gets away with it routinely.
