CW close to naming successor for Ostroff

"At CW, Ostroff made it clear some months ago to her bosses at the net's parent companies that after nearly 10 years with UPN and CW, she's ready for a change and looking to reunite with her family in New York after being bicoastal for several years.

It's not immediately clear who is the leading candidate for the gig, but what is clear is that the exec will be announced sooner rather than later — well before the CW's upfront on May 19 — in order to give the person a chance to have a hand in selecting this year's pilot orders and to work with Ostroff on other transitional issues."
