Due to the continued low ratings of the live broadcasts, Nexstar and LIV Golf have decided to stop publicly disclosing the ratings of US live TV broadcasts. Between the first two legs of the event, US ratings have dipped a big 24% week after week.

And in a big blunder to viewers, Sunday's live broadcast was abruptly cut short as the crucial final moments were overrunning; most CW affiliates went to syndicated reruns, but others, like WGN, went to its evening news. The playoff phase was instead moved to its streaming app, much to the chagrin of viewers.

The full 2023 season schedule was announced Thursday, with additional acquisitions including the Channel 4 series Everyone Else Burns, German drama The Swarm (from ZDF), another Canadian comedy, Children Ruin Everything (originally commissioned by Bell Media and Roku), and the Adrian Buitenhuis series of celebrity documentaries (often called the I Am collection). All American will premiere when the season starts, and Walker is now a midseason replacement.

Brad Schwartz plans are clear: there will be more reliance on imports and unscripted fare, and says the network will be "no longer built for the benefit of studios" (referring on how CBS and WB managed the network) and defending Nexstar's operation of the network (due to its cash flow results, comparing it favorably with those of Fox). He announced over 70 new series in development, including unscripted shows created by Jersey Shore developer SallyAnn Salsano, ex-HBO Max reality chief Jen O’Connell, and another starring Patti Stanger. He also announced plans to partner with All3Media to contribute production credits to the ITVX drama Joan (starring Sophie Turner) and commissioned a reboot spin-off of one of the network's most popular shows, The Librarians.

Three shows are still on the limbo (Superman & Lois, Gotham Knights & All American: Homecoming), but Brad Schwartz says these shows are expensive, and The CW doesn't have the streaming rights (HBO Max do), something which he told as “frustrating”.
