What's a better name than "The CW"?

Well, I
guess we've all heard the big news today by now, right? The WB network and the UPN network are going to merge to become "The CW
network", or "The CW" for short. Sounds like a decent idea to me: two half-networks that are limping
along combine to create a more powerful network, capable of defeating the forces of evil while shooting lasers out of
its hands (wait, I might be getting this new network confused with Voltron).There's only one problem: the name. "The CW". I realize that the name is a combination of "CBS" and "Warner", and that naming it "The WC" is problematic; besides the fact that the name is a classy way to say "toilet", it's too close to "the WB" for comfort's sake. But this name... it just doesn't work for me. It sounds like it's one letter short of being called "The Cow", or, as one commenter suggested, "The Country Western Network".
So can anyone think of a better name? Let me know in the comments.
