The CW: Good news for Veronica?

For everybody freaking out about the merger of UPN and the WB and what the new CW network might mean for Veronica Mars, here is some good news: The president of CBS Les Moonves held a conference call this afternoon to discuss the merger and said, "The idea of putting Gilmore Girls with Veronica Mars is a dream come true for Dawn (Ostroff, head of UPN). She finally has a lead-in that works for that show."

I would say that sounds like VM is almost certainly coming back for a third season, with GG as the likely lead-in. Dawn Ostroff will be head of programming for the new network and if putting GG with VM is a "dream come true" for her, that is good news for VM indeed.
