EXCLUSIVE: I’ve just been told by an insider that “there is a chance, only a chance” that Media Rights Capital which will be programming Sunday’s two hours on the CW “may elect to take Moonlight as one of those two hours”. This is developing to be quite a behind-the-scenes drama because the order came from Warner Bros TV this afternoon to start tearing the Moonlight sets down. But now WBTV will wait until Friday. Before it was cancelled, it had more than twice the number of viewers on CBS than Gossip Girl despite all the hype. So Moonlight could wind up the most watched CW show. Stay tuned.

Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.


If this works, CW has a new viewer, smack bang in the most coveted demographic and with lots of disposable income. Just sayin’.
Thank you, Nikki, for all the updates.
That is the best news I have heard today…Please make it become a reality…I love Moonlight and it would be great to have it on CW…I will say an extra prayer tonight.
Thanx so much Nikki and be assured CW, that all of us loyal vampinettes will be following ML wherever it’s headed to. More power to MOONLIGHT!
Yes! Please! Whatever night of the week they want– Sunday, you-name-it-day I will *be there*!
Now how do we fans get in touch with “Media Rights Capital” to let them know we want them to pick-up Moonlight!?!??!
Thank you for the news. I haven’t been adicted to a show since 10 years ago. Yes 10 long years. So I was so happy with Moonlight and so sure of the second season.Since it was cancelled lets’ just say I’ve been really down so this are good news for me. I don’t care which channel shows Moonlight I will follow. By the way CBS can forget me watching any of their shows. Just a way to show them the same support they show me and the rest of the fans. Thank you Nikki.
YESSS!!!!! This would be sooo great!! Moonlight on the CW!!! Media Rights Capital, if you pick up Moonlight, WHENEVER you put it on, I’ll watch, WHATEVER I have to miss to do so — and I’m not the only one!!
Please, let this happen! I will follow Moonlight anywhere. (And I’m in the demo, just like all my Moonlight-obsessed friends.)
My girlfriend loves this show, i personally didn’t like it when it was called forever knight
It IS better than the ghost whisperer, but so are 90% of the shows CBS has cancelled the past decade…bring back american gothic
Hope CW goes for it. I’ll follow Moonlight wherever it lands.
Thank you Nikki for giving us a ray of Moonlight!
This is awesome news for all of the Moonlight fans; and if it comes true it will be a special thing indeed. Nikki: Thanks for giving us this glimmer of hope. Now the big question: How do we reach out to the Media Rights Capital people so we can *encourage* them to do this for real? As you know the Moonlight fans are rapid and faithful. We won’t give up without a fight and we will bring our passion to the door of any group that is willing to go to bat for the show. Your help putting us in touch with the right people would be invaluable.
Thanks for the small ray of sunshine. I’ll follow Moonlight anywhere. And I’d love to give CW more of my business. Please CW and Media Rights Capital, give this show a chance. There is such a devout following. I guarantee they’ll sustain a quarter or more of the audience, without a doubt. And we are quality downloaders. I buy from Amazon (’cause it’s up fast) and iTunes (’cause it’s compatible with my mp3 player) every weekn. Please, please please please CW and Media Rights Capital, make me not sad.
figures an intelligently and cleverly written show, that requires creativity and imagination CBS decides to cut-ARGHHHHHH or should i say Rahh Rahhh
I hope CW picks up the show and runs with it. It has a huge fan base and on crappy friday night time slot to boot! Please!
I am not a tv watcher per se [devoted Boston Legal and House Fan] but Moonlighting for me makes it the trifecta!
Please. Please, Please keep this show going!
Oh man! After the day I’ve had, this truly is an oasis in the desert. I know nothing’s in stone yet, but just the slightest glimmer of hope after all the hopelessness I’ve been reading today…
It’s now 1.45am here in the UK and I finally feel that I can go to bed and actually sleep – although it’ll be pretty uncomfortable with my fingers, arms, legs and anythig else I can cross; crossed! lol
Please CW, please Media Rights Capital, grab this show whilst you can. Where this show goes, over 7 million people are likely to follow! ;o) You won’t regret it!
Please keep emailing WARNER BROTHERS. Tell them not to give up on MOONLIGHT. Loyal viewers will follow.
Vampire solidarity, rah, rah, rah!

Please CW pick Moonlight. You already have the fans waiting. I’ve had a really bad day today thanks to CBS. I’m a loyal fan, so please give me some good news. Thanks Nikki.
It would be wonderful just to have Moonlight shown somewhere! I’m sure with it’s loyal following of fans it will be a winner for whoever takes it on!
I will follow Moonlight wherever it goes. The cast is wonderful and the show deserves the respect it has earned and that CBS obviously is blind to.
This is such amazing news! I’m already an avid watcher of both Supernatural and Reaper, which both appear on the CW. Both of which, might I add, are genre shows. So let’s hope this pans out, and CBS will realize what a horrbile decision they made and what potential they threw away.
Please let this be true. Moonlight deserves a second season. Please pick it up CW! Moonlight fans will follow this show anywhere.
I THINK THAT IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT CBS TOOK A NOSE DIVE,THEY HAVE BEEN ON TOP FOR SO LONG IT’S TIME THEY HIT BOTTOM OR AT LEAST BE THE SECOND PLACE NETWORK.
I AM WITH ALL OF YOU , I WILL FOLLOW MOONLIGHT TO WHATEVER NETWORK THEY GO TO NBC/ABC/CW WHEREVER.
I HOPE THAT SOMEDAY CBS REGRETS WHAT THEY HAVE SO EASILY TURNED AWAY.THEY ARE SO MONEY HUNGRY AND MONEY HUNGRY PEOPLE WILL LOSE AT SOME POINT IN TIME, THEY WILL GAMBLE AND LOSE.
ALEX O’LAUGHLIN (TRAVELING THE WORLD,THE POOR MAN IS EXAUSTED) AND THE CAST OF MOONLIGHT HAVE WORKED SO HARD FOR THIS SHOW TO MAKE IT WORK,CBS BLOCKED IT( IN MY OPINION) AT EVERY TURN.GOOD LUCK MOONLIGHT GOD BLESS.
That would be, without a doubt, the best news in a long, long time in television… Please, make it so!!
Be still my beating heart. If moonlight goes to the CW, me and 7,999,999 of my closest friends will follow! Keep fangs crossed…
CBS are fools for letting it go. Yes, there were clearly internal staffing problems on the production, but with better management those could be cleaned up over the summer. Here’s hoping CW’s smart enough to see they’ll be picking up a show with higher ratings than anything they currently run.
I am devastated, too, and I will follow Moonlight to whatever station is airing it. Crossing fingers for this to happen.
