Why The CW Should Hold a Reality Competition to Replace Dawn Ostroff

The CW is preparing to transition into new era of management. According to the New York Post, CBS and Warner Bros. are interviewing 10 candidates to replace The CW's entertainment president Dawn Ostroff, when she leaves the network later this year.
