Tribune Stations

Remember when Tribune removed the CW branding from their CW stations? WPIX in NYC changed from CW 11 to PIX 11, WTXX in Hartford changed from CW 20 to TXX (now WCCT-TV), etc? Well now WCCT-TV 20 in Hartford has started using the CW 20 branding again. A couple weeks ago I was watching a pre-season NY Giants Football game and they had a CW 20 logo with a green background covering up the NBC 4 logo, but when the regular programming resumed they had their regular WCCT-TV logo on screen. I noticed it again during the following week's preseason game. Again after the game they went back to the WCCT-TV logo. Same CW 20 logo with the green background during last night's game too. I fell asleep during the game and when I woke up they were advertising so there was no logo. Now today I'm watching a rerun of Mike & Molly and they're using a CW 20 logo in the bottom right corner of the screen and their on-air promos are now mentioning CW 20. Have any other Tribune CW stations returned to the CW Channel number or CW City branding?
 
I know other cities have done the same thing:

Dallas/KDAF: CW 33 to The 33 back to CW 33
Houston/KIAH: CW 39 (under the calls KHCW) to Channel 39 (call changed to KIAH) and back to CW 39
Portland/KRCW: CW 32 to NW 32 back to CW 32 then Portland's CW
Denver/KWGN: CW 2 to Colorado's Own Channel 2 (will use the CW name during promos)
St. Louis/KPLR: CW 11 to KPLR 11 (still used today)
Indianapolis/WTTV: CW 4 to Indiana's 4 (now CBS 4)
New Orleans/WNOL: CW 38 to Nola 38 (still used today)
Miami/WSFL: CW 39 to SFL then to South Florida's CW
Hampton Roads/WGNT: CW 27 before being bought by Local TV then Tribune and later changed the name to WGNT 27 (still used today)
Washington/WDCW: CW 50 to DC 50 (now DCW 50)

The only exception were WGN would always be WGN 9 instead of CW 9 during their times as a CW affiliate (now independent). Also KTLA was always KTLA.
