The KCIT equipment went to KCPT (might still have been KCSD then; now it's better known as 'Kansas City PBS'), which was finally able to upgrade to color.

The CW’s LIV Golf Deal Has Led To Sports Rights Talks With “Everyone” And Potential New Deals As Early As This Fall, Nexstar CEO Perry Sook Says
Perry Sook, CEO of The CW parent Nexstar, said the network's deal to broadcast LIV Golf has led to talks with "everyone" with sports rights to sell.

Here is a response on Nexstar airing LIV Golf from CW. This is a factor why Paramount owned soon to be former CW affiliates did not air LIV Golf.
Hearst, Sinclair, and Gray do clear LIV Golf but not Paramount or Tegna
They could change it, but they could also opt not to. Sinclair and Corridor swapped networks in San Antonio some time ago, and you still today see CW on KMYS, and My Network TV on KCWX. Nexstar's WFXQ-CD in Springfield, MA has never been a Fox affiliate, TCT's KCWV in Duluth, MN has never been a CW affiliate, and don't forget about WUPA in Atlanta, owned by CBS, with the same callsign even though UPN's been dead for a very long time.

From what I remember reading in a 50th anniversary book that KCPT put out in 2011, KCPT got almost everything except for the channel 50 antenna which was auctioned off in a bankruptcy auction.
Actually The CW is now on WOAI's subchannel 4.2. KMYS (former CW and earlier MNTV) is now Dabl, TBD, and Stadium.

Here is more on the CW when they change affiliates in the fall.
Also we didn't see Nexstar buying KUSI-TV San Diego as part of a ploy to get new CW affiliates.
KUSI Being Sold for $35 Million to TV Station Group That Owns Fox 5
Texas-based Nexstar Media Group, which already owns Fox5 in San Diego, announced Monday it will acquire KUSI-TV for $35 million.

I was thinking Seattle and Atlanta being factored in with Mission buying stations in those cities and Nexstar steps in with Affiliation agreement with CW plus hiring local news staff in those places.
WADL sold to Mission Broadcasting, likely to serve as Detroit's CW affiliate
Mission's stations are mostly-controlled by Nexstar Media Group, which is losing its CW affiliate in the Motor City.

But in Sacramento Nexstar has a place to run CW programming in this case KTXL 40.2. it will be the largest CW affiliate to run inside a subchannel once KMAX loses their CW affiliation. Doubt KQCA would do that given Hearst role in running KQCA-TV to run NBCs programming in the event KCRA has to run breaking news and sports along with My Network programming.
I commented already if Nexstar wants to make affliation deals with rivals

The thing is CW propgramming (Like MNTV programming) can be time shifted or delayed if needed to accomondate this. Plus CW can also be run as a primary network with MNTV secondary too
No. MNT will be dead in Detroit. There'll be two Indies in Detroit because FOR SURE, WMYD doesn't want MNT back.

A management change is taking place at CBS Stations. Kari Patey is named as VP and Producer for the stations. This is a specific change coming to the CBS O&O's once the primary CBS O&O and 8 stations that were required to break up with the CW for contract reasons.
Sook: CW To Change Virtual MVPD Rights Model
Along with other major CBS affiliate groups, Nexstar Media Group forced Paramount Global to renegotiate the carriage deal it cut with Fubo and returned their local signals to the virtual MVPD in March. But the affiliates have not achieved their objective of being able to negotiate directly with...

Here is more what Nexstar has in mind once they get full control of the CW.
If Circle City Broadcasting acquired KMAX-TV, there will be no effect.
I knew WSNN is being sold to Nexstar, maybe WSNN becomes MyNetworkTV affiliates and WTTA becomes CW.
Possible if WGN gets CW affiliation back after WCIU is the largest CW affiliate not owned by Nexstar.
Nashville is an overlap area for Nexstar and Gray Television, so WSMV and WTNX should be sold to NBCUniversal.
If WADL and WKBD and WMYD are all independent, then there will be NO CW or MyNetworkTV affiliation there.
