Glad you have a handle on all the change outs. This game of musical TV stations more and more every day resembles a version of Abbot and Costello's Who's on First.

What's even worse....not a single ad on 56 or 19 touting the changeover....the only thing I happened to see was an ad for some UPN shows on 19 during their 5PM news, minus any mention of "UPN 18".
 
Yes, ads would have been nice, but think about it ... the old stations had their affiliations taken away. Why are they going to promote the new affiliate, a competitor? CBS 19, however, should have done a better job of promotion ... or so it seems.
