According to reports, The CW is now starting a new era after a whopping 75% of the network’s stakes were sold to the Nexstar Media Group based in Texas. The parent companies of the network, Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount, have not completely lost all of their stakes, as they both retain 12.5% each from the deal.

This could mean big things for Arrowverse, as reports suggest that Nexstar plans on catering towards a much older target demographic after acquiring the platform, which is very much in line with the news we just reported above!
