You know, it really bears repeating - even though AtS ratings for this year on average were higher than last year, and even though the string of heavily promoted uninterrupted last set of series episodes managed to reverse a downwards slide towards the middle of the season that was precariously close to last year's cancellation-worthy ratings, AtS was STILL not among the WB's top 4 dramas.
Anyone who thinks that Levin was "demoted" because a few hundred people (who certainly didn't translate into a few million viewers) marched outside of the WB offices with signs and managed to cough up enough cash to buy truck-side signage, is ... I don't want to say deluded, but I feel confident in calling it single-minded, narrow and sadly lacking in context. Saying Levin was demoted because he dared to cancel AtS is kind of like saying the reason the shows suffered ratings-wise and creatively in later seasons was the shocking disregard shown for true fans who knew that each and every episode should feature Buffy and Angel, respectively, gazing at pictures of their "ontwunubsolemate4eva!!!" and sighing despondently until such time (the finale) that Angel shanshued and Buffy fell into his arms and they headed off into the sunset, because that was the implicit promise that Joss broke. In other words? Whatever. I'm not crying for Jordan Levin, because I'm certain he's been well paid and will go on to other lucrative ventures. And maybe he deserved to be passed over for the job - but it sure as hell wasn't solely because a couple of thousand internet fans decided to go on a television jihad on behalf of Joss Whedon.

Well, let me get this straight. The non-crossover issue (which IMHO was actually GOOD for both shows, especially ATS since it finally got out of BTVS's spotlight finally) was the cause of C/A and B/S? Sorry, that arguement doesn't hold any merit for me personally.
Seriously, they could of kept B/A going despite the lack of crossovers. Just look at the last season of ATS. It was so profoundly pro-B/A, all the time, nearly every episode that I thought that they were going to put up a flashing neon sign on the highway just to remind people. And this, given the fact that one half of said ship (i.e. Buffy/SMG) DIDN'T even make one appearance this season and no plans to. So, IJMHO, crossovers were entirely unnecessary if they wanted to continue on with said ship.

I don't know. If we call it that, people might think that Michael Jordan was somehow in need of financial assistance.

When Rob Lowe left TWW it was covered in several national papers. A co-worker of mine who didn't even watch the show new about it b/c it was on the morning news, part of the "around the water cooler" talk session on GMA and mentioned rather heavily on ET, Access Hollywood etc. I even remember USA Today or another national paper having a large article about it. It had the standard WW cast photo largely displayed across the top of the page with captions added naming each actor and their salary.
