was independent to be my network tv affiliation as upn rebranded to my network tv

Please, please, please do some research before posting. You got this almost as completely wrong as you did KTVT.

WKBD signed on as an independent in 1965 and remained so until becoming a Fox affiliate in 1986. It then was sold to Paramount in 1993 and became a UPN affiliate as a result. When that network and The WB merged in 2006, channel 50 became an affiliate of The CW and remained so until 2023, when CBS exercised its right to unaffiliate as the network was sold to Nexstar. One year later, CBS and Nexstar came to a new agreement and The CW affiliation resumed.

They were never a MyNetworkTV affiliate (and that network was not a rebranding of UPN, either).
 
upn becomes my network the fashion house affiliate

No, it did not. Research, PLEASE.

Both UPN and The WB ceased operation at the same time and ceased to exist. In each market, one of the affiliated stations was chosen to be The CW affiliate.

MyNetworkTV was created by Fox as a new network, because their New York station WWOR-TV (which had been a UPN affiliate) was passed over for The CW. It did not exist before then, and it was not a renamed UPN.

Here ... if you won't do your own research, read this:

As noted in the opening paragraph, MyNetwork's original affiliate list consisted of other former UPN or The WB affiliates who were cast aside when those networks ceased to exist. If your local UPN affiliate was one of those, their affiliation changed. But the network was brand new in 2006.
 
like in houston & washington dc, former paramount o&o stations, in which were swapped for kbhk, former co-owned station of wkbd since kaiser, had been affiliated with upn was passed over for the cw. had it would of been the case for houston as paramount, my former upn affiliate would of been independent. probably my network would of been moved to a former independent station in the outlet.
 
None of that supports your incorrect statements earlier, such as UPN itself becoming MyNetworkTV.

And "would have" or "should have" doesn't change anything.
