The CW Network benefits greatly from a younger audience but because of this their same day ratings tend to be lower. This hasn’t hurt the network in the long run because viewer trends are changing drastically. Many viewers especially younger viewers will stream their favorite television shows online. The network’s own website offers the last five episodes for viewing as well as popular sites like hulu.com streaming as well. The CW also has a streaming deal with Netflix where past seasons of many of their shows can be found.

With so many streaming sites this gives viewers multiple chances to be able to watch these shows giving a rather large ratings bump for Legends of Tomorrow. In the first three weeks alone there has been an avergae jump in viewership of about 1.4 million viewers added into the live plus seven day viewing period. This make Legends a strong contender in the field.
