Interesting..  I also get CW over the air where I am too.  I don't watch it often though.  Interesting it's considered a premium channel on some services.

I've noticed something like that with some shows too.  There's a channel where I live called Laff, which airs older sitcoms, and a while ago I was watching and recording Home Improvement from it, and later realized they weren't airing the bloopers they normally had after the end of the show.
