Although we do have a new episode of Nikita scheduled for Friday, November 9, the show is absent from The CW lineup for the following two weeks, thanks to an America’s Next Top Model special one week and a holiday program the next. This schedule change might have worried Nikita fans, since aside from an uptick last week, the show seemed to be doing somewhat badly in the ratings.
Thankfully, The CW seems to have a plan… one that we hope has some permanence.
On November 30, The CW is airing a new episode of Nikita, titled “The Sword’s Edge,” at 8PM rather than 9… and following it is an encore of the week’s Arrow episode, “Muse Of Fire,” at 9:00. (New episodes of Arrow will remain on Wednesdays at 8)
Arrow did quite well with a Friday repeat of the pilot, and hopefully this pairing will work very well for the underrated Nikita which is one of The CW’s best shows. If you haven’t seen Nikita this season, check it out… the new season is quite accessible for new viewers.

Please CW Don’t air new episodes of Arrow on Fridays keep it where it is it’s working out for you it’s not a good solution for Nikita or Arrow nikita’s ratings won’t change either way where as Arrow has helped supernatural’s ratings and is doing really well on the timeslot it’s on if they move it to friday it will get barely over 2 million viewers it will probaly more like this 2.1 million viewers 0.7 A18-49 it would be a terrible move on the CW’s part

Don’t you know how to read? The CW is only airing encores of Arrow on Fridays 9/8c. New episodes will continue to air on Wednesdays 8/7c.
I really don’t get why you think that a show in its 100th season needs help but CW can’t do anything to help a show that does need the help.
