it initially slipped past me, because it wasn’t directly ratings-related, but it definitely is indirectly ratings-related! CW is not throwing in the towel on Privileged just yet. It’s languished on Tuesday’s at 9pm after 90210. Update: Actually it turns out that both Gossip Girl that will air and the nixed One Tree Hill were both reruns and always scheduled to be, so this isn’t really ratings jiggering maneuver…

Here’s the release:

Please note: On Monday, October 6 (9:00-10:00 p.m.), an encore episode of “Privileged“ titled “All About the Power Position“ will replace the previously listed episode of “One Tree Hill“ titled “Touch Me I‘m Going To Scream, Part 1.“
