Couple of observations:
1.WDBB, being a translator of WTTO, ran the same programs as that station
except for a few local programs seen only on WDBB.
2.WABM was actually a UPN affilate at that point
 
They were not. They were an independent from March to August 1998.

Sinclair (WABM's owner then and now) disaffiliated many of its stations from UPN during most of 1998, as Sinclair had switched some of those stations to The WB at the beginning of '98. WABM and Milwaukee's WCGV were back with UPN at the start of the '98-99 TV season.
