Why would a platform need exclusive rights to a channel like that when nearly all that content is already available to it spread across its existing channels ?
Exactly. Plus Vampire Diaries is on ITV 2, Supernatural & Nitika are on Sky Living, Arrow is on Sky One. All of those shows broadcast stateside on CW.

The only way a UK version of The CW etc would work is if the vast majority of UK content rights expires on several channels and the current right holders don't renew their rights (or get outbid by LG for several content rights). Unlikely to say the least.
