WWE Smackdown! jumping to 6 CW affiliates early

K

It was announced that due to gaps in programming, along with the switchover of "WWE Smackdown!" from UPN to CW, 6 Tribune Broadcasting-owned stations will be carrying the show earlier than originally planned. One of those 6 stations happens to be WTXX-TV/DT (WB/CW) channel 20/D 12 of Waterbury/Hartford. They will air the show on Saturday, September 9th and 16th at 8 PM (ET). Unless it's because of New York Yankees baseball, I don't see why LIN Broadcasting-owned WCTX-TV/DT (UPN/MY) channel 59/D 39 of New Haven couldn't still air the show. Here's the link which mentions the other 5 markets affected by this move:

Any other future CW stations following their routine?

I live in the Quad Cities (Moline, Davenport, Bettendorf, Rock Island) and around here, UPN 26 will become "My TV 16 (on account of the cable channel)" and WB 26 will be "The Quad Cities CW". Could there be a chance that Smackdown could move early to CW 26?

It will once CW goes on the air nationally though.

Cheers :D
 
Smackdown will also have a (somewhat) early move in Green Bay/Fox Cities, WI. WACY/32 will drop UPN for MY on 9/5. This means the 9/8 and 9/15 UPN airings of Smackdown will air the following Sunday afternoons (9/10 and 9/17) on WIWB/14 (WB-to-CW). This info is verified on WIWB's website.
