Looks like CW may have quietly expanded Sundays to 7/6c. There's network repeats scheduled in that timeslot starting on 10/1.

KUSI is airing the ACC game instead of KFMB. I assume the other Tegna affiliates are preempting as well?

An affiliation switch flew under the radar. The CW departed Scripps' MTN group of stations for Nexstar's KSVI.

According to the Seattle Times, they're still running Comet during non-CW hours. Either that's a sign of the syndication market's inexorable decline, all the other stations taking all the decent programming, talks being really down to the wire, or just weapon's grade laziness on Sinclair's part.
Comet is essentially syndicated programming. It's as watchable as any other station's lineup. I'll take reruns of The X-Files over a Byron Allen court show. It wouldn't be out of place on an independent station in another era.
I'm surprised we don't see more stations fill non-network/news hours with programming from their in-house diginet rather than spending money on dwindling syndicated fare. If Nexstar wants to cut CW's programming costs, why not nuke the syndicated CW+ shows and fill the time with a mix of programming from their diginets?

KAUT's switch to CW was made official today as well. It's still an odd, isolated decision. Horse trading between Nexstar and Sinclair?
Either way, Freedom 43 gives way to CW 43.

AJC briefly had an article up announcing CW's new Atlanta affiliate, but it was taken down. I didn't catch which station was announced.

Nexstar readies new CW Network affiliates in Pittsburgh, Seattle
In the Seattle market, a deal is being finalized to bring CW Network programming to KONG (Channel 16), an independent station owned by TEGNA that operates as a duopoly with NBC affiliate KING-TV (Channel 5)
Despite not being a full-time independent station, WATL has a slight edge as the Atlanta area’s next CW Network affiliate, because the deal could cover both it and KONG in Seattle.
WPCH is also being considered, because its status as an independent station means it can more-easily accommodate CW Network shows by moving around some syndicated programming. But the channel’s distribution in Canada — which dates back to its ownership by Turner, when it was called WTBS (later TBS Superstation) — proves somewhat problematic for Nexstar, in part because the network is relying on older Canadian series to fill some of its prime-time schedule and has secured live sports programming whose rights are held by other broadcasters in the country.

In addition to finding a strategic partner for ESPN, Iger said that he was “open to selling or spinning off Disney’s legacy cable networks, including FX and NatGeo, and its broadcast group, ABC Networks.”
Man, Fox made out like bandits when they did.

If they cancel Superman and Lois, which happens to be a great show, than I’m done with the CW.
Nexstar has found some pocket change to renew it, albeit with a smaller cast and budget.
