GodfreyGR 652 Posted April 22, 2024 Share Posted April 22, 2024 6 minutes ago, NowBergen said: I saw earlier where Nexstar is now spinning it that they took the affiliation away from Scripps and moving it to Nexstar stations. Only problem is that is in only possible in a few of the impacted markets. There are two sides to every story and somewhere in the middle lies the truth. Personally, I err more toward the Scripps version of the story given (as stated) the number of markets impacted, the decline of CW programming; and Scripps ability to utilize ScrippsNews to fill programming holes 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19111-nexstar-acquires-75-of-the-cw/page/22/#findComment-296696 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially that WPLG does News for WSFL and with them dumping the affiliation that newscast is likely over. That might put a bad taste in Grahams mouth that means Scripps was not happy with their deal. The thing is that WPLG is no longer owned by Graham Media and its now owned by Berkshire Hathaway since 2014 but Graham does help WPLG with some stuff but it's not an LMA or a JSA. That and also because they no news for WSFL doesn't make it better. Also going back to The Strait* A.K.A. Detroit, Michigan, Adell already has issues with The CW, Nexstar/Mission and The CW (Check September–November 2023) so there's no way that the CW is EVER in the near future gonna end up on Ch. 38. It's gonna end up on Ch. 4 on an subchannel; and forget about WJBK. That Fox O&O Affiliate is NEVER gonna get the CW, so is any of the Canadian stations. (CBET and CHWI) (*In French, Détroit means Strait and the Detroit is named that because the city was situated on an pretty narrow passage of water connecting St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair and the Detroit River, all in Michigan.)

Action Newsroom 1279 Posted April 25, 2024 Share Posted April 25, 2024 After a successful move late last September, The CW will continue to air the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants for the next 3 years. As part of the new deal, Miss Teen USA will return to broadcast television for the first time since 2007. https://deadline.com/2024/04/miss-usa-teen-usa-cw-deal-1235895057/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/19111-nexstar-acquires-75-of-the-cw/page/22/#findComment-296756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathannah 2428 Posted April 25, 2024 Share Posted April 25, 2024 It's so odd to see Miss USA/Teen USA finally thriving again on The CW after years in limbo post-2015...while Miss America is stuck behind a $35 paywall on a niche pageant streaming site the same way something like international sports such as kabaddi are. Before the end of the decade we may be considering Miss America history out of their stubborn pride.

Assuming AMG itself even cares about This TV anymore. The network has lost a massive chunk of their carriage over the past few years, and I've heard speculation on other forums that it's probably not long for this world. If The CW is truly bound for WDIV, it'll probably replace This TV, even if Graham has to pay off Bryon Allen.

Megatron81 258 Posted May 1, 2024 Share Posted May 1, 2024 It will be a subchannel that is what they did with WOTV DT2 when they took The CW in West Michigan from Sinclair that is what will happen with Norfolk VA in my opinion. Not surprised after 8 years that The CW is coming home to WGN since they don't have the Cubs, White Sox, Bulls, or Blackhawks anymore that was the reason they went back to being independent.

Since WGN-TV, Channel 9 doesn't have live Local sports telecasts, they can afford to grab The CW from WCIU and Weigel's probably gonna put The U back on 26.1. And it'll 8 years since they removed the CW from WGN in 2016, which putted it on Fox-Owned MyNetworkTV O&O WPWR-TV Channel 50 because... the Sports and stuff back when WGN was ending the Ownership by Tribune Broadcasting/Media and an year before Sinclair Broadcast Group tried to aquire Tribune Media which failed so hard that Sinclair lost almost all of its reputation JUST in 2017-2018.
