The WB is relaunching - as a website.
The WB Network is returning next month on the Web. An ad-based website, the new WB will feature streaming episodes of shows that aired during its run as a full-fledged TV network (1995-2006), including Gilmore Girls and Everwood, among others. It will also offer new series as 5-minute webisodes, targeting the original WB demographic (primarily the female YA audience).
At this time, it is not clear if shows that ran on the WB network that were produced by outside companies will also run (such as Buffy and Dawson's Creek - just to mention a few). Also unclear is whether or not the schedule will include WB shows currently running on the CW network, such as Gossip Girl.
What is known is that both Supernatural and Smallville have been renewed for at least one more season!
WB.com will have a beta launch in April, and then a full roll-out this fall.
