The CW picked up "a couple" more scripts of the struggling "Life Unexpected," which will continue in its slot after "One Tree Hill" on Tuesday nights, The Hollywood Reporter said.

"This fall, the CW made several strategic scheduling moves, including adding two of the most buzzed-about new series, 'Hellcats' and 'Nikita,' to our line-up, and we're thrilled that they've paid off for us," said CW Entertainment President Dawn Ostroff. "By giving our two freshman series and proven performer 'One Tree Hill' full orders, we'll be able to continue our success and momentum throughout the rest of the season."

CW said its Wednesday evening programming draws about 2.5 million viewers, while its Thursday programming attracts about 3.6 million viewers.
