What are ION's strongest affiliates?

...or do such things really exist?

WXPX in the Tampa area was strong for several years - they aired Tampa Bay Rays baseball games from 2004 up until their AL-winning 2008 season.

Because of its schedule, reliance on infomercials and little in regional variation, it's a trick question.

Our local ION affiliate does show three or four locally-originated programs, but they only amount to infomercials for local businesses.

In Charlotte, NC the Pax affiliate was part-time. It never graduated to Ion. So we don't even have it.

Lucky.

Oh my - it was only a matter of time... ;D

I'll just say all ION stations (except for the LPTVs) are strong affiliates.

Technically, I don't think so. I think that all full-service Ion stations are O&O, rather than affiliates. I don't know many people who put "strong" and "Ion" in the same sentence.

Sorry, this one is my fault...it was a JOKE, for crying out loud!

The national ION brand is apparently equally strong nationwide, then?

ION: The broadcast network that thinks it's a cable channel.

Fixed. ;D
