Not to mention Nexstar already had a station in Phoenix in KASW and then decided to sale it to Scripps in 2019.

CBS owned CW affiliates to drop CW affiliation and go independent
- Thread starter nelsonincharlotte
- Start date
i meant sell it
Don’t see Hearst buying KSTW.
Hearst used to have the Seattle PI, I wanna see a trade or swap
Not gonna happen. Inyo has a deal with Scripps to keep thing as-is.
The speculation is getting beyond ridiculous now.
FOX can't buy WPIX. They already own WNYW and WWOR,
But it doesn‘t stop other groups from shopping for new properties, just saying.
Or maybe all of these CBS stations will start a new OTA network using Paramount+ content after it's first run on the streaming channel.
CBS also owns WLNY in the NY area that's also independent. Seems like they have the foundation for something.
No kidding. I understand some posters may be on the spectrum, but this is ridiculous. Between what I’ve seen on a couple rival websites and this some folks still think it’s 1995 or 2005. 🙃
True too given how the General Public sees TV today. Today it's an app on your screen.

Inyo is a shell owner for Scripps. That’s like asking Mission to act on their own and not as a silent appendage of Nexstar (see WPIX).
You’re not wrong.

Same with KSHB spun off KPXE but still operate it and spunning it to Nexstar so they can operate it doesn't give Fox4kc an extra to channel to put programming on or to add Sub channels other then Bounce TV,Grit,Laff TV because are also Kratz ones that aren't on KPXE.
Or even a revival of a PTEN-like setup, sharing the same programming but not having a set schedule across-the-board. That’ll make it easier if their goal is to get into live OTA sports per market.
Broadband is not free
They should call it UPN.
Here are My Wild Guesses for the switch
Detroit - WKBD 50: WPXD 31
Atlanta - WUPA 69: WPXA 14
Philadelphia - WPSG 57: WPPX 61
Tampa-St. Petersburg - WTOG 44: WXPX 66
Seattle - KSTW 11: KWPX 33
Sacramento - KMAX 31:
Jeannette/Pittsburgh - WPCW 19: WINP 16
San Francisco - KBCW 44: KKPX 65
Thought i needed to make room for ion to have the cw because scripps does it all the time
I may be beating a dead horse since it's been done, but my take is this:
San Francisco: most likely KRON since it's Nexstar owned
Sacramento: either KQCA (maybe sharing with MNTV) or maybe a subchannel of KTXL (can't see KTXL dropping Fox for the CW)
Seattle: very questionable, but my guess would be Tegna-owned KONG
Detroit: either WMYD or WADL (maybe sharing with MNTV)(WADL did carry LIV, right?)
Pittsburgh: very questionable, but my guess would be Sinclair-owned WPNT
Philadelphia: most likely WPHL since it's Nexstar owned
Tampa Bay: most likely WTTA since it's Nexstar owned
Atlanta: either Gray-owned WPCH or even Tegna-owned WATL
San Francisco: most likely KRON since it's Nexstar owned
Sacramento: either KQCA (maybe sharing with MNTV) or maybe a subchannel of KTXL (can't see KTXL dropping Fox for the CW)
Seattle: very questionable, but my guess would be Tegna-owned KONG
Detroit: either WMYD or WADL (maybe sharing with MNTV)(WADL did carry LIV, right?)
Pittsburgh: very questionable, but my guess would be Sinclair-owned WPNT
Philadelphia: most likely WPHL since it's Nexstar owned
Tampa Bay: most likely WTTA since it's Nexstar owned
Atlanta: either Gray-owned WPCH or even Tegna-owned WATL
