USA Broadcasting

E

I know USA broadcasting morphed some of their tv stations from Home Shopping Network to Independent TV Stations. I know that Disney tried to buy the USA Broadcasting tv stations, but they were outbid by Univision. If Disney still owned these USA Broadcasting tv stations what will these stations in other market will be called? I know USA Broadcasting started with 4 tv markets in Miami, Atlanta, Boston, and Dallas. They were called, WAMI 69 in Miami, HUB 66 in Boston, K-STAR 49 in Dallas, and HOT Atlanta 34 in Atlanta. What would other tv markets that if Disney brought them instead of Univision will be called?

New York WHSI 67/ WHSE 68 - Apple 68?
Los Angeles KHSC 46 - Hollywood 46?
Chicago WEHS 60 Windy 60?
Philadelphia WHSP 65 Ben 65 or Liberty 65?
San Francisco-Oakland KPST 66 Bay 66?
Houston KHSH 67 H-town 67 or Space 67?
Tampa-St. Petersburg WBHS 50 Sunshine 50?
Cleveland WQHS 61 Rubber 61 or Plum 61?
Melbourne-Orlando WBSF 43 O-town 43?

What do you think?
 
These three had announced plans before the sale to Univision was announced:
New York was planned to become WORX "The Works"
Chicago was planned to become WNDE "Windy"
Los Angeles was planned to become KLIK "Click"
 
had Disney bought USA Broadcasting instead of Univision, I'm sure KSTR K-Star 49 would had been rebrand to a ABC O&O station if they chose to sever ties to WFAA and their owners at the time, Belo in the Dallas market, since in late 2001-early 2002, Fox, NBC and CBS already had own KDFW, KTVT and KXAS (granted at the case of KXAS, LIN owned a minority ownership of KXAS until 2013) respectfully.
