THE CW Channel APP

I am a big fan of the CW channel and I enjoy watching shows like the Flash, the 100, Riverdale, and much more. I watch the app more online through my Xbox One X because I don't have to be at my house at 7:00 to watch my favorite shows. Instead I can watch it anywhere and at anytime.

The CW channel has taking a huge step in making the CW channel one of the most watched channels for TV Shows. 

Here is a link to the The CW's Website and shows the list of shows on air. http://www.cwtv.com/thecw/the-cw-app

The Top shows airing on the CW at the moment are the Flash, Riverdale, Black Lightning, Supergirl, The 100 and so many more. 

Here are some trailers of each of the shows found on youtube. 





The CW APP is currently on the Xbox One X, Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, Airplay, and Amazon Fire T.V.

Users of a mobile device, laptop, or a tablet can download the app on the google play store or app store on the I phone's. 

The CW channel was founded 12 years ago. On January 24, 2006. So as we can tell the network is fairly new to the world. 

According to wiki and here is the link. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_CW the slogan for the CW is "Dare to Defy." The CW is making a big influence around the world and will continue to. My favorite show on the CW is the 100 followed by the Flash and Riverdale. 

The CW has made their presence all over social media. They use social media as a target to make their target market bigger. They use twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to get users to watch their channel and app over Hulu and Netflix.

Here is their twitter feed. https://twitter.com/TheCW?lang=en 

It is amazing how vastly times are changing and the shows like the 100 can be watched on a phone or tablet or laptop on an app. Therefore, I would recommend people everywhere to download the CW APP and watch their favorite shows on the app. The APP is vastly changing and no telling where the network will be five to ten years from now.
