He held several research jobs over the next 10 years, including Administrator, Commercial Evaluations and Director, News Audience Research, prior to relocating to Burbank, Calif., where he was promoted to Vice President, Program Research, NBC Entertainment in 1989, a position he held until he left the network.

Cardinal received a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Duke University and a Master of Arts degree in psychology from Columbia University.

As previously announced, the new CW Network will consist of a six-night, 13-hour primetime lineup including Monday through Friday nights from 8:00-10:00 PM (ET/PT); Sundays from 7:00-10:00 PM (ET/PT); Sunday from 5:00-7:00 PM (ET/PT) outside of prime time as well as a Monday-Friday afternoon block from 3:00-5:00 PM (ET/PT) and a five-hour Saturday morning animation block.
