Trying to watch PBR Teams is terrible

Trying to watch PBR Teams. 2/3 of the screen is commercial. You lose the announcers, don’t know the bull or rider and the picture is so small you can’t read the graphics. Turned it off. Ridiculous. I’ll look for another place to watch, even if I have to wait 24 hours.

The commercials are absolutely ridiculous! You get about 5 mins of movie, and 2.5 minutes of commercials! It's literally so bad I had to research how to give a review. So I could express how awful it really is. Geez!

too many commercials

I love sullivans landing but constant commercials make it almost impossible. also will go to comercial and then freeze up. I have to log out and log back in again to watch, which is a shame as this is a great show and is going to lose viewers because of this. I dont mind some commercials but there is more commercil time thn show time. I would pay to go ad free

App is a BIG ZERO

I would give this streaming app a BIG ZERO if I could. Lousy programming in the app (using Amazon), ads are ridiculous, and repetitive. In general the app is not user friendly. WE WILL NEVER use this app again.

I love watching the NASCAR series but I would love to hear what the announcers are saying but I can't hear them over the car's noise. I thought that the announcers were in some sound proof area but I guess not. Please fix the problem so people can hear what they are committing on.

It's a good channel but a CRAPPY COMPANY

It's a good channel, but i'm kind of mad that they canceled all the other shows that I grew up with.Like the flash, the arrow, the vampadise buffy, the vampires, the array, all of that, including d c legends of tomorrow.They didn't continue going on with seasons.They only stopped at season seven.Which is kinda messed up in everything and I really want to know.What happens to the legends of tomorrow

Everyone wants to be able to see the action !!!

I’m a retired ex-bowler and love watching bowling on TV. But the new CW format I watched today(Pete Weber Classic) wasn’t good TV. First the horrible placement of the person the classic is named after shouldn’t have to peek around one of the bowlers to see what’s going on. Raise the spectators up above to see over the seated bowlers, cause You could see others having to look around the seated bowlers, and that goes for the second row to, raise them up so they don’t have to move to look around the cameraman. If I was sitting there having to look around people to see the action I’d be telling myself next time watch from home.

Absolutely worst tv experience

Absolutely worst tv experience. During the nascar races, the final lap the camera points at the team owner, and stops filming the damn finish of the race! The most important part of the last 3 hours! Stupidity. Not the first time this has happened.

Bad choice Nascar

CW is included in my cable subscription. I pay for it. How can they not stream it online like most other networks I get. I no longer can watch Xfinity- O'Riely racing. Bad choice by Nascar , bad choice for CW.

I can never hear the volume on this news station channel 8 in Ft Lauderdale. EVERYDAY the volume is not working for this station ONLY! This is a Disgrace, because my favorite shows are on this station! Get rid of the entire network!

THE CW APP IS ABHORRENT

THE CW APP IS ABHORRENT

It is absolutely disgusting. As if the constant, long, repetitive ads aren't bad enough, you can't sign in, so if you switch tvs in the home to keep watching the same show you have to manually find your place. Not the worst thing in the world. UNTIL you realize that you can't fast forward or rewind to find your place because the ads butt in, and then the app will crash and you won't be able to watch that episode.

It's bad enough that they killed all of the good shows and replaced it with utter crap, but to hoard those shows and make viewing impossible is downright evil. They're removing their shows from legit streaming platforms because they're greedy af, and making it impossible for people to watch them at the same time. It's 2025. There is absolutely no reason for any streaming service to be this horrible.

Commericals for people who want free service is a fine idea, but I'd pay a monthly fee to not have to watch that horrible ad model show me the same ads over and over and over again. I watched three episodes of my show and cancled my Capital One card because I got so sick of the ads it made me hate the company for being stupid enough to do business with these people. I'll also never buy anything from Dominos again, thanks to these morons.

Whoever bought the CW app is a horrible idiot and I won't be returning to the network until they sell, and issue an apology to the viwers because this is a crime against consumers.

Once a Beloved Network, Now a Disappointment for Loyal Viewers

Horrible after it was bought out.
I’ve been a loyal CW viewer for years, faithfully following shows like Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries, The Flash, and Nashville. The network used to be known for creative storytelling, memorable characters, and a consistent focus on drama and fantasy — the kind of content that drew in devoted fans season after season.

Unfortunately, over the past couple of years, the CW has completely changed its programming direction. The new lineup feels disconnected from the brand’s legacy, replacing engaging dramas and fan-favorite series with lower-budget reality and sports content that doesn’t appeal to the audience that built this network’s success. It’s disheartening to see longtime viewers left behind with little communication or acknowledgment.

I understand that networks evolve and need to attract new viewers, but this shift feels abrupt and dismissive of the loyal fan base that supported the CW for decades. A more balanced approach — maintaining a few quality scripted shows alongside new experiments — would show respect for the audience that made the CW what it is today.

I’m sharing this feedback not out of anger but disappointment. I truly hope the CW takes the time to listen to its fans and remembers what made it special in the first place. Loyal audiences want to feel included, not forgotten. The CW deserves ZERO stars.

I’m watching the Miami vs S Florida game and these broadcasters are HORRIBLE!!! You can’t be bias as a commentator. It’s obvious they want S. Florida to win. Fire both of these clowns and get some real talent to call games. You’ll never compete with the REAL networks with these idiots.

Way to many commercials

PBR Team Series moved to CW but due to excessive commercials, split screens with commercials and not showing all the games or all the rides if PBR Team Series is on CW next season a lot of us will not be watching. Worst mistake PBR has made.
