If Nexstar does change the name of the network, then it would put an end to The CW's ridiculous rebranding of the Arrowverse. It is now officially called the CWverse, but no DC fan is calling it that.
In Iowa Nextar owned an ABC affiliate and a CW affiliate but then they sold those networks in 2019 to own the NBC affiliate which was owned by Tribune. When Nextar bought WGN (a Tribune Company) they bought WHO from Tribune too and sold the ABC and CW affiliates to Tenga. I wonder now if they will keep WHO since they own NewsNation or if they will sell it to get the CW affiliate back. Or own WHO and CW and Tenga only keeping ABC and selling CW back to Nextar.

The CW likely won’t be a hub for broadcast-TV’s teen dramas anymore, following its newly announced acquisition by #Nexstar Media Group.
"Superman & Lois" is not part of the Arrowverse. People think it is because Tyler Hoechlin played Superman on "Supergirl". But when Superman was out of commission this season he didn't have those other superheroes to help. He only had his brother and John Henry and his daughter.
Unless they are an Independent or a My affiliate, highly doubt it. No Big 4 will change
I see folks are falling off the turnip truck again. No way in hell that ANY affiliate changes from CBS or FOX to CW. CW will be added as a subchannel.
once the existing contracts are up I could see that happening
I know that; however, the reason for this has to do with the pandemic, which prevented a crossover with Batwoman from happening. Also, the showrunners decided that it was easier to make it appealing to a broader audience by not tying it to other shows.
Actually where I live in San Antonio, the CW does air preseason Houston Texan games and Dallas Cowboys games. They also air local high school and college football games, so adding sports is not out of the question.
I said that because no one should be calling it the CWverse (not referring to you, but whoever came up with the term) if superhero shows not related to "Arrow" are on the network.
ummm the MLS signed a 10 year 2.5 BILLION dollar contract with AppleTv for exclusivity
Houston games are on NBC, Dallas games on CW this year
actually Sinclair (owner of WOAI) decided to move it from a station they ran (KMYS 35) to a station they own so that when retrans renewal time came up it was easier to deal with both CW & NBC.
Maybe KUSI should bought out by Fox and Tegna might launch a MNTV subchannel on 8.2, that's my better scenario. Of course Fox might look into buying Circle City Broadcasting even if the Colts is an AFC market. Finally KMAX, WUPA, WTOG, and WPSG should make duopolies and sold to Fox and become MNTV O&Os except in Sacramento to give Fox all 4 major California markets since SAC and SD are secondary markets to the 49ners and Rams(mostly)/Chargers(partially). WBNX should join MNTV too instead of sharing with METV either duopoly with Tegna for WKYC or Nexstar with WJW in the even if Gray keeps WUAB with The CW
or Fox walks back to WCCB and sell WMYT to Gray creating a duopoly with WBTV providing even more news competition in Charlotte
