Why did Fox 29 drop Seinfeld?

J

Looking at national syndicated ratings, it seems like Seinfeld is still going strong. So why did Fox 29 drop this classic show from its lineup?
 
Actually, there's a huge thread on the National TV board about this: Earlier this month, several markets, including New York, had affiliate changes. In the case of Philadelphia, I don't think Fox 29 had a choice in the matter (the show aired on Fox 5 in NYC before returning to WPIX) but I'm sure that it's airing on another station there... probably WPHL or WPSG... or.. WFMZ?
 
I'm pretty sure Fox-29 had "Seinfeld" in the same 7:30 PTAR slot uninterrupted going back to the Fall of 1995. Is that the longest same-channel-same-slot run of any off-network syndicated rerun in the market?

I can't help but wonder how much the constant airings of "Seinfeld" and other shows on cable channels have devalued the syndication aspect.
