Star News: CW exec talks “One Tree Hill,” “Melrose”-”90210″ crossover and more


CW President of Entertainment Dawn Ostroff met with a fiesty group TV critics today in Pasadena to talk about her new and returning shows. Among deflecting questions about Mischa Barton on “The Beautiful Life (”She looks great. There’s been no issue.”) and the “Gossip Girl” spin-off (It’s dead), Ostroff also discussed:

Swapping “One Tree Hill” and “Gossip Girl”: “Tree HIll” fans who have been frustrated that the CW doesn’t show the kind of love to their show as it does to “Gossip Girl” and “90210″ should take heart that this decision to switch timeslots was an acknowlegement of “OTH’s” popularity. Ostroff said that “OTH’s” super loyal fan base is strong, and she hopes it will help make “Gossip Girl,” which had a strong season last year, into an even bigger hit. Last season the CW was up 77 percent on Mondays among the young women it courts. That gave the lineup “serious momentum” Ostroff wants to capitalize on.
