The CW's official website also has on its "shows" tab a Facebook section saying "Visit us on Facebook" and under the headline there is a "make friends" link you can click that directs you to the Facebook page. If the user is not a current user of Facebook, then he will have the opportunity to sign up and become a "fan" of a show on the CW or a "fan" of the CW itself. And, Facebook gains another user.
On each show's Facebook page, there are fan sections, post messages, videos, news, and a merchandise section selling items, like DVD series, on the page. The CW uses Facebook to direct traffic to and from Facebook and their official website. Also, to use a page that only promotes itself and advertises itself seems like a pretty good deal.
Funny how most of the CW's shows have 100,000+ fan members belonging to different CW shows. Clearly the CW knows that Facebook is the place to be at the moment.
