It’s been less than two years since the close of Nexstar’s acquisition of The CW and the network’s primetime slate could not look more different.
In addition to the broadcaster’s shifted focus to sports, unscripted fare and foreign imports/co-productions, The CW will soon be getting into the original TV movie business. In an interview with Variety, network president Dennis Miller and president of entertainment Brad Schwartz revealed that The CW is planning to air its own slate of films (in addition to acquired features) on Sunday nights beginning later this year.
The network already has a Sunday night movie block, which will continue in the fall according to the network’s newly-released fall 2024 schedule. But in addition to airing well-known studio movies, they will be producing movies of their own — as many as ten. The network is prepping a deal with an unnamed TV movie...

Ten years after his death, Patrick Swayze is being remembered for his remarkable life and legacy.
Both a classically trained ballet dancer and a rugged cowboy, Swayze captured hearts in 1987’s Dirty Dancing and 1990’s Ghost—but he also grappled with demons including alcoholism and the lingering effects of a sometimes-difficult childhood.
Now a new documentary on Paramount Network, I Am Patrick Swayze, sheds light on the star who lived life to the fullest until his death from pancreatic cancer in September 2009 at age 57.
In the end, Swayze “showed himself to be a true hero in how he approached his disease,...

I have always been such a huge fan of Patrick Swayze. I grew up watching Dirty Dancing, The Outsiders, and Ghost. He was a household name and was often quoted and held in high regard. He was a wonderful actor and seemed like a really great guy as well. In the trailer for the upcoming documentary I Am Patrick Swayze, we are reminded what a dynamo he was, mastering acting, dancing, and martial arts.
It seems that no one who knew him had a bad word to say about him, but sadly, he battled with mental health issues, and succumbed to cancer too early in life.
Watch the lovely trailer and check out the poster for the film below, and let us know your favorite Swayze role. Check out the documentary I Am Patrick Swayze on the Paramount Network on August 18th.
