Eight CBS Stations to Ditch CW and Go Independent This Fall


Recommended Posts

The West Michigan TV stations do the ID top & bottom of the hour, WWMT & ARC WMI now have bugs during syndication since Mid-July. WXMI Fox17 shows the bug going into syndication shows and goes within 10 or 15 seconds.

Here in Phoenix, it's interesting as I see KSAZ (FOX) & KPNX (NBC) do station ID's not just at the top of the hour, but also during network programming, coming out of local station breaks, even if they return & a network promo or nat'l ad is airing.

Nexstar insists that the network will become profitable in 2026, as affiliation deals covering "more than two-thirds of The CW’s subscriber base" expire this fall:

A stupid idea would be to cut the local stations out of the CW.

 

They should just go the UPN route and sell off any station that does not have a CW affiliation if they want to go that far.

And I insist I will have the same hairline and waistline I had back in high school in 2026.

 

Godspeed and good luck to us both.
