and you never know, if ratings do pick up, it could come back in January.
Has this actually been commented on by the CW though? AiA has been hemorrhaging viewers in it's time slot. Viewers that leave after EHC and come back at 9p. Their #'s went down with the first new ep after the strike. Barely breaking 1 mil viewers. UPN had consistent #'s with that block of shows that held when they shifted to the CW. AiA is the weakest link and I would be surprised if they brought it back. Taking a gamble on a new show won't be any riskier. If the Sherry Shepard show is still on the table I would think they would place that with EHC and The Game.

ETA

Who is comparing ratings on the CW to the big 3? They're not. They are simply looking at growth within their own shows. AiA isn't growing and it's not because of poor marketing. AiA was promoted and was plugged by critics. And the network gave them plenty of latitude to grow and gain momentum. They are not even pulling in enough GG fans. At some point the show has to take it's lumps and assume the blame for it's shortcomings.
