Won't be home next Tues night... good thing CW lets me stream this for FREE!

Yes, do you hear that -- HBO Max, Paramount+, Disney+, Hulu, AppleTV+, YouTube Premium, etc., I will be able to stream this for FREE! No "$5.99 per month" for the "privilege" of viewing the episode over the internet instead of live TV. No "member signup" required. No "trial" period where I have to binge watch ALL 20 episodes in a paltry 3 days or I get charged for an entire month. FREE! FREE!! FREE!!!

I have my issues with the CW, but the fact they upload the episodes to stream for FREE is something ALL other networks should do. And don't you dare give me the "CW is a basic over-the-air nationwide channel, so you CAN'T compare it to a premium exclusive cable service like HBO" spin. CBS is a basic TV network available on every television around the USA too, but the greedy Ferengi at CBS locked Star Trek Discovery behind an exclusive "monthly subscriber internet only streaming service" since 2017, and used the pathetic excuse "that's the wave of the future, EVERYONE is doin' that now, so you gotta get with MODERN TIMES and sign up for CBS All Access" propaganda. NBC does the same (Peacock streaming service is severely limited UNLESS you pay $$$ for the "premium" version), and so do the other "basic" channels like ABC (they force you to sign up for Hulu or LiveTV) and FOX (Fox Nation and Roku)


The Orville's major marketing tactic in 2017 was "UNLIKE Discovery, you can watch us on network TV for FREE by tuning into Fox)... then they flip-flopped in 2020 and moved The Orville to be available EXCLUSIVELY on Hulu's PAID service. I still love The Orville but I'm not gonna defend them using the same distribution model as Discovery, after crowing about NOT doing so.

CW is truly the best of both worlds... you can watch it live on television when you have the free time to do so, OR catch it later via STREAMING by simply going to their website and clicking on the latest episode after they upload it. It's available to anyone at no fee.

It's too bad the vast majority of other shows on CW suck, otherwise this would be 50X better than the propaganda they're shoveling over at Paramount+ and HBO Max.
