'Gossip Girl'

The CW has confirmed its strike-affected midseason schedule.

Reality shows will bolster the schedule, with One Tree Hill sticking out as one of the network's only non-scripted shows with sufficient episodes recorded to make it beyond a month of first-run outings.

Gossip Girl will move to Monday nights effective January 28, by which time it will have entered reruns. The CW has scheduled Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious for the 9pm slot, and hopes that the reality show will lure in a new audience for the replaying Gossip.

Beginning January 15, Reaper reruns move to the 8pm slot on Tuesday, before new episodes of One Tree Hill at 9. The 8pm slot will go to Beauty and the Geek starting March 11.

America's Next Top Model will occupy Wednesday nights with encore showings of Girlicious.

Reaper pops up again at 9pm on Thursdays starting February 28, leading out from Smallville at 8.

Fridays will continue as normal with WWE Smackdown, while Monday's urban comedy block moves to Sunday nights starting February 10.
