    IF The CW bolts WUAB for WJW 8.2 (or even, heaven forbid, Nexstar buys WBNX to make them a CW O&O)....WUAB would probably morph into 19+, since it's basically been the overrun station for WOIO, and the patent disregard of WUAB itself goes all the way back to Raycom...

     

    It's best hope now is to be a news-intensive station to compete against WJW.

     

    Then again, if WUAB gets stripped of the CW for WJW, it would leave BOTH WUAB and WBNX without affiliations.

     

    The upfronts are going to be REAL interesting this spring....what will Nexstar have up it's sleeve?

    WBNX does have better programming than WUAB right now.  It will be interesting to see what 43 would plan in case the CW moves to 8.2 (or, less likely, 8.1 to displace Fox).

    There actually exists legitimate provisions in affiliate contracts in case the network was ever sold (no, I do not have them on hand, but it was discussed on Discord a few months ago).

     

    Despite the nominal 12.5% stake, Paramount really doesn’t need the CW anymore.

    Both Paramount and Warner Bros Discovery have their own streaming services.  They both don't need The CW at all.  "All American" can easily move to either of the services.

  3. It seemed like he wanted to get rid of Norah O'Donnell so badly, but was overruled.  That alone is a red flag.  I will say that I am not sure Brian Williams would have boosted ratings for the Evening News.
