The Vixen Animated Movie Ratings Were Low And It Doesn’t Matter (02 Sept 2017) 
https://www.bleedingcool.com/2017/09/02/the-vixen-animated-movie-ratings-were-low-and-it-doesnt-matter/ 
On Wednesday night, last week, The CW aired the Vixen movie and the ratings were very poor. How poor? Less than 700,000 viewers tuned in.This was not the premiere of a new project. And this is a series that started up 2 years ago for free on the CWSeed website and then had a second season.
