My Network/CW WB/UPN

All the promos I'm seeing say MY Network is debuting on Tuesday September 5, but CW isn't debuting until Monday September 18.

What's is going to happen during these two weeks to the few UPN stations that will beome affiliates of CW? And since the WB is still going to be running programming up until the debut of CW, what's gonna happen to the WB affiliates that will be switching to MU Network?
 
UPN's last night of programming is Friday, September 15th.
WB's last night of programming is Sunday, September 17th.

Stations switching to My Network from one of the other networks are generally going to push UPN/WB stuff after their My Network programming since they have little interest in promoting networks that are going away.
 
Actually, from what I've seen, most stations are going to get rid of the old network entirely. It's all reruns anyway, right?

"WWE Smackdown!" is a minor exception; they keep new episodes going 52 weeks a year. Some Tribune-owned CW affiliates are going to be picking it up early: http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/tribunesmackdown

There will probably be similar accomodations made in other markets.

(As for the WB's previously-reported final-night sendoff, I can't see why stations like KMYQ in Seattle can't show it, since it'll be on Sunday, the one day MyNet doesn't program.)
