THE CW UNZIPS 90210

Just days after the Parents Television Council, the group campaigning for tighter "decency" standards on network television, accused the CW network of refusing to make available screeners of its upcoming 90210 series in advance so that advertisers could determine whether the content was suitable, the CW said that only TV critics would be unable to view the show prior to its debut. Advertising Age quoted a CW spokesman as saying, "We never said the show would not go through the normal channels. It will be going through the normal screening services before it premieres on Sept. 2."
