I would like to know if the average age they quoted is for the network programming they run from 8 to 10 every night or the affiliates that carry those programs. Looking at WCIU, the C-Dub affil in Chicago, the schedule around the network is a lot of court shows (including "Judge Judy" reruns), Springer (both the talk show and "Judge Jerry") and Wilkos, "Cheaters" reruns, shares with CBS station WBBM (Dr. Phil and Drew Barrymore--she's on after the network on weeknights) and "Two Broke Girls" and "Seinfeld" reruns. I'm not really sure whether any of that programming is "Dare to Defy" with the CW lineup (but perhaps the kids are watching the C-Dub scripted shows on streaming--and the older series are still running on Netflix--"Riverdale"'s most recent season dropped on Netflix last week and is in the top 10 of TV shows, as is most of the C-Dub scripted shows they still carry and will carry until cancelled).
