MyNetworkTV Announces 2009 Fall Lineup
May 27th, 2009 | 4 Comments | Email | Share | TweetMyNetworkTV’s fall lineup includes the syndicated run of former CBS drama The Unit and NBC’s Law and Order: Criminal Intent, along with the syndicated versions of NBC game show Deal or No Deal, Fox’s Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader. MyNetworkTV will also carry the 10th season of WWE Friday Night SmackDown.
The network recently announced it was changing format to follow a syndication model. This program lineup allows MyNetworkTV to take advantage of the popularity of established shows that viewers are used to in primetime.
Last season, MyNetworkTV was up 46% in viewers and 25% in the demo compared with last year, making gains on fellow newbie broadcaster The CW, which declined overall. If shows like The Unit and Deal or No Deal earn even half the rating of their previous network versions, MyNetworkTV should make gains again next season.

CBS, this sucks. You will be losing me as a watcher and I hope many others too. You let The Unit and other great shows go, but you chose these stupid dumb comedy series, that are not even funny, and whats with the reality shows? These shows are stupid, well I will not be watching, because your fall line up sucks. Way to CBS.
Sharon,
A used to be CBS watcher….
Why drop “Magic’s Biggest Secrets”?
This really sucks that Smackdown will be on MyNetworkTV there are now alot of fans who can’t watch their favorite wrestlers.What a let down.
Cant even get wwe smackdown on mynetworktv anymore since october3,2009 . Now, its ion tv with something else which we viewers were not notified of this change . I’ve tried to email my local mynetworktv affiliate WPXX Channel 50 memphis end up getting it undelieverable .So, emailed my satellite provider Directv nothing yet . Dont know why they did this without telling us wwe fans like myself who regularly watch WWE Smackdown . Im having to see it Saturday nights instead on the CW Network which they are the ones who booted the WWE off their station a year ago . This is stupid
