CBS owned CW affiliates to drop CW affiliation and go independent

The WADL—Mission deal was doomed because it was them buying the station on behalf of Nexstar and little more. This plunged the deal into regulatory hell as objections were filed against the purchase, plus a fifth FCC commissioner was finally seated, making it all moot.

Scripps is blatantly playing out the string with the CW on KASW and KWBA, two stations that are currently prevented from carrying all Arizona Coyotes games due to the CW’s stringent requirements to air almost all primetime programming in pattern. The CW affiliations with Scripps expire next September 1. So that’s why WMYD is not even in consideration here.

Either Nexstar wisens up and divests some of their smaller, underperforming stations in places like Idaho, Mississippi or Montana to make a clean purchase of WADL… or the CW is forced onto WDIV 4.2. But their Detroit options are very limited.
