User:Morgan Wick/2006 Network Shift old table

During the month of February, the List of CW affiliates had a "Potential affiliates" section, where people could post certain stations that seemed certain to become CW affiliates. On March 3, this section was removed as crystal-ballery. As the CW now has coverage in over 90% of the country and all but two of the top 100 markets, this section is now moot.

Some of the rationales were on rather flimsy grounds. Here is the list as it stood when the list was removed, along with commentary on how it actually turned out:

• WTTO in Birmingham, Alabama (Sinclair Broadcast Group)
  • Reason: WTTO has a stronger over-the-air signal and higher viewership than its sister station WABM
  • Did it happen? Yes, but mostly because WABM was the station to affiliate with My Network TV.
• WHDF in Florence/Huntsville, Alabama (UPN) (Lockwood Broadcasting)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate in market. (WB airs on a digital subchannel of FOX affiliate WZDX)
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• WRJM (UPN) in Montgomery, AL (Josie Park Broadcasting, Inc.)
  • Reason: No over the air WB affiliate in the market.
  • Did it happen? NO. WRJM affiliated with My Network TV. NO CW affiliate yet. This is the Wrong situation!
• KYES (UPN) in Anchorage, Alaska (Fireweed Broadcasting)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate, and KYES has a statewide combined cable/translator network; The WB affiliate in Anchorage is currently available on cable only.
  • Did it happen? NO. CW's affiliation with a digital subchannel of KIMO came first, but it's still the Wrong situation!
• KASW in Phoenix, Arizona (WB) (Belo Corp.)
  • Reason: Fox-owned UPN affiliate KUTP will become a My Network TV affiliate
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• KFRE in Fresno, California) (WB) (Pappas Telecasting)
  • Reason: Stronger resources and signal than UPN KAIL. However, KFRE is co-owned with Fox affiliate KMPH.
  • Did it happen? Conversational edits aside, yes.
• KXTU-LP in Colorado Springs, Colorado (UPN) (Raycom Media)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate in market (Denver's KWGN has a good signal in the market (and is significantly viewed), cable/satellite carriage, and reportedly vetoed an attempt in the late 1990s for the market to launch its own WB affiliate)
  • Did it happen? Surprisingly, yes. KWGN couldn't veto this one.
• WBXH (UPN) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana (Raycom Media)
  • Reason:
  • Did it happen? As you can see by the lack of a reason, NO.
• WTVK in Fort Myers, Florida (WB) (ACME Communications)
  • Reason: UPN is seen on both low-powered WEVU (which is not on cable) and cable-only WNFM; the two stations were related until Fort Myers-area cable provider Comcast bought out WEVU's programming outside of UPN.
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• WJWB in Jacksonville, Florida (WB) (Media General)
  • Reason: Second-strongest WB affiliate based on Nielsen ratings, plus UPN shares WAWS with Fox
  • Did it happen? This ignores WJXT, but yes.
• WLGA in Columbus, Georgia (UPN) (Pappas Telecasting)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate in market
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• WGNM in Macon, Georgia (UPN) (Christian Television Network)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate in market. WGNM announced that once their UPN contract expires September 2, 2006, they will go to strictly religious programming as part of CTN (other than UPN programming, all shows on WGNM are religious). The local CBS affililate, WMAZ, previously expressed interest in providing UPN programming once that contract expired. It is unknown whether WMAZ will pursue broadcast capability for the CW network, or if the cable WB channel provided by Cox Communications will switch to the CW.
  • Did it happen? NO. The aforementioned cable channel WBMN will join the CW. No My Network TV affiliate yet.
• WGSA in Savannah, Georgia (UPN) (Southern TV Corporation)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate in market
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• WSWG in Valdosta, Georgia (UPN) (Gray Television)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB in the Tallahassee (licenced) or Albany (serving) markets. A possibility does exist of the station going to CBS (which one of WSWG-DT's subchannels is airing). Or it could go to the existing WB100+ over-the-air WB in Tallahassee, (WFXU) (Pegasus Broadcast Television) which has double the cable coverage of the UPN and is carried by both dbs satellite providers.
  • Did it happen? NO. WSWG will become MyNet. Tallahassee's CW will be a subchannel of WTLH. Albany has no CW right now.
• KFVE in Honolulu, Hawaii (WB) (Raycom Media)
  • Reason: UPN is seen late afternoons on (otherwise Asian) independent KIKU.
  • Did it happen? NO, and this is the largest market without a CW affiliate yet - a clear Wrong situation!
• KNIN-TV (UPN) in Boise, Idaho (Banks Broadcasting)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate in the market. KWOB is a WB affiliate that is available on cable only.
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• WAOE in Peoria, Illinois (UPN) (Venture Technologies/Granite Broadcasting)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate in the market.
  • Did it happen? NO. MyNet instead. WHOI will provide CW on digital.
• WTVO-DT 16.2 (aka "Rockford UPN") in Rockford, Illinois (UPN) (Mission Broadcasting/Nexstar Broadcasting Group)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate in the market.
  • Did it happen? NO. WREX's digital signal will be used instead.
• WAZE in Evansville, Indiana (WB) (South Central Communications)
  • Reason: UPN affiliate WTSN-LP is a low-power station with a poor signal
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• KGWB in Burlington, Iowa [Quad Cities] (WB) (Grant Broadcasting)
  • Reason: KGWB, unlike UPN affiliate WBQD-LP (which ironically is on the same channel in Davenport), is a full-power station)
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• KPWB in Des Moines, Iowa (WB) (Pappas Telecasting)
  • Reason: UPN currently shares WHO-TV (which clears only WWE Smackdown) with NBC
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• KLWB in Lafayette, Louisiana (WB) (Azar Family Holdings)
  • Reason: KLWB, unlike UPN affiliate KLAF, is a full-powered station
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• WNUV in Baltimore, Maryland (WB) (Sinclair Broadcast Group)
  • Reason: Fox-owned WUTB will affiliate with the new My Network TV WBFF (also owned by Sinclair) will now most likely retain Fox affiliation.
  • Did it happen? Yes, although pre-MyNet there was speculation of Fox moving to WUTB and either WBFF or WNUV taking CW.
• WBSF in Flint, Michigan (WB) (Barrington Broadcasting)
  • Reason: No over-the-air UPN or WB affiliate in market. Currently only on cable and on the digital signal of co-owned WEYI, but expected to begin analog service in Spring 2006. Many mid-Michigan viewers get Detroit's WKBD on cable, which will flip to CW.
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• WXSP (UPN) in Grand Rapids/Muskegon/Kalamazoo/Battle Creek, Michigan (LIN TV)
  • Reason: The WB currently shares WZPX with the I network, with that station carrying prime-time WB programming on a delay the following weekday. However, WXSP is a network of low-power TV stations serving the West Michigan market, and is also available on cable and on HDTV as a subchannel of co-owned WOOD-TV's digital service.
  • Did it happen? NO. WZPX will go i-only, but CW will be on a digital subchannel of WWMT. However, this may have the future in mind. If WZZM ever manages to move its digital transmitter south and thus force WOTV to drop ABC, the CW may be a logical backup plan.
• WHTV in Lansing, Michigan (UPN) (Venture Technologies dba Spartan TV)
  • Reason: Lansing has two WB stations -- Battle Creek's WZPX, which has must-carry in the Lansing market (see above), and cable-only WBL.
  • Did it happen? NO. WBL will join the CW. WLAJ will add it to digital.
• WBVC-TV (WB) in Traverse City/Cadillac/Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan (Max Media LLC)
  • Reason: UPN currently shares WFQX with Fox. However, WBVC-TV is seen only on cable.
  • Did it happen? This is a bit confusing. It's showing a CW logo, but there's no other evidence of CW affiliation. There is no My Network TV affiliate either.
• KBJR DT 6.2 (aka "Northland UPN" or "True North TV 25") in Duluth, Minnesota (Granite Broadcasting)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate in market plus KBJR is a market dominant station with NBC, UPN and control of CBS KDLH (Channel 3) (plus control of the current WB cable channel). Also has translator station in Ashland, Wisconsin. With KBJR controlling both UPN and WB in Duluth, it may go either way.
  • Did it happen? NO. The aforementioned cable WB will be CW instead, and will become a subchannel of the CBS affiliate.
• KMWB in Twin Cities, Minnesota (WB) (Sinclair Broadcast Group)
  • Reason: Fox-owned UPN affiliate WFTC will become a My Network TV affiliate.
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• KXVO in Omaha, Nebraska (WB) (Pappas Telecasting)
  • Reason: UPN is on a digital subchannel of NBC affiliate WOWT
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• KTUD-CA in Las Vegas, Nevada (UPN) (Greenspun Broadcasting)
  • Reason: KVWB affiliated with My Network TV, and it's unlikely that Sinclair sister station KFBT will take The CW.
  • Did it happen? NO. Who says it's "unlikely"? Actually, KTUD blew off the CW itself. Guess what this space said before the Sinclair-MyNet arrangement?
• WTTX-LP in Elmira, New York (UPN) (Clear Channel Communications)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate in the market.
  • Did it happen? NO. Digital signal of WENY will be used. This station lost on MyNet as well.
• WCTI-DT 12.2 (aka "UPN 48") in New Bern, North Carolina (Lamco Communications)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate in the market.
  • Did it happen? NO. May go independent or off-air. CBS and Fox affiliates will have digital subchannels for CW and MyNet respectively.
• WLFL in Raleigh, North Carolina (WB) (Sinclair Broadcast Group)
  • Reason: Stronger of two stations in Sinclair duopoly (the other being UPN affiliate WRDC).
  • Did it happen? Yes, by virtue of WRDC going MyNet. Where the hell did this come from.
• WILM-LP (UPN) in Wilmington, North Carolina (Capitol Broadcasting Company)
  • Reason: Had previously been a primary UPN affiliate before affiliating with CBS, still carries UPN as secondary affiliation. Also co-owned with Raleigh CBS affiliate WRAL-TV, and the WB is only available on cable.
  • Did it happen? First, we should note that the only applicable part is the LAST part... and the answer, of course, is NO. Cable WB instead.
• KCPM (UPN) in Grand Forks/Fargo, North Dakota (Central Plains Media)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate in market. WBFG, the WB affiliate in the market, is only available on cable.
  • Did it happen? NO. MyNet instead. ABC affiliate will add digital CW.
• WBQC-CA in Cincinnati, Ohio (WB) (Elliott B. Block)
  • Reason: Sinclair Broadcast Group-owned WSTR has been named My Network TV affiliate station.
  • Did it happen? NO. Digital subchannel of WKRC instead. Pre-Sinclair/MyNet, this space said WSTR was the place. This is the Wrong situation!
• WWHO in Columbus, Ohio (LIN TV)
  • Reason: currently carries both UPN (primary) and WB shows, was formerly owned by Viacom/CBS before last year.
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• WBDT in Dayton, Ohio (WB) (ACME Communications)
  • Reason: currently carries WB programming. UPN 17-6 (sister station of WHIO-TV) is cable only, making WBDT the only full power station available.
  • Did it happen? Yes. UPN 17-6 is going off-air, not MyNet.
• WBCB in Youngstown, Ohio (WB) (WFMJ-TV)
  • Reason: No over-the-air UPN affiliate in market. However, the channel is a sub-channel of NBC affiliate WFMJ's digital service, and is only available on cable and over-the-air HDTV service. Plus WNPA (already confirmed for CW status in Pittsburgh) currently has a rim shot of Youngstown.
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• KTVC in Eugene, Oregon (UPN) (Equity Broadcasting)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate in the market.
  • Did it happen? NO. KMTR will show CW on digital, and MyNet will go to independent KEVU.
• WLYH in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (UPN) (Clear Channel Communications/SJL Broadcasting)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate in the market (though Philadelphia WB affiliate WPHL, to be Independent, has cable coverage through the key parts of the market; it originally had a Harrisburg translator, but it went dark in 2005).
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• WSWB in Scranton, Pennsylvania (WB/UPN) (Pegasus Broadcast Television)
  • Reason: Currently carries both WB (primary) and UPN shows
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• WFLI-TV (WB) in Chattanooga, Tennessee (Meredith Corporation)
  • Reason: UPN currently shares WDEF-TV with CBS.
  • Did it happen? Yes, almost immediately after removal of the list.
• WJKT in Jackson, Tennessee (UPN) (Clear Channel Communications)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate in the market, plus the station is a semi-satellite (and is operated out) of WLMT in Memphis.
  • Did it happen? NO. Going Fox instead. No CW affiliate yet.
• WBXX in Knoxville, Tennessee (WB) (ACME Communications)
  • Reason: UPN is on a digital subchannel of CBS affiliate WVLT-TV
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• WLMT in Memphis, Tennessee (Clear Channel Communications)
  • Reason: Currently carries both UPN (primary) and WB shows
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• KBEJ in Fredericksburg, Texas (UPN) (Belo)
  • Reason: Ostensibly serves the Austin and San Antonio markets. Although the station is 68 miles west of Austin and 65 miles north of San Antonio, the station is viewed mostly by cable in both markets, and has a weak signal to both cities, San Antonio WB affiliate KRRT will become a My Network TV affiliate and the owner of Austin WB affiliate KNVA, LIN TV, has expressed skepticism about the prospect of affiliating with the CW [1].
  • Did it happen? Space previously said thar KRRT and KNVA would take the CW; I revised that after Sinclair/MyNet. Yes, it happened, but KNVA then turned around and affiliated with both networks.
• KUWB in Salt Lake City, Utah (WB) (Clear Channel Communications)
  • Reason: KUWB has a stronger over-the-air signal than UPN affiliate KPNZ
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• WGMU-CA in Burlington, Vermont (UPN) (Equity Broadcasting)
  • Reason: WB currently shares WFFF with Fox, although there is a possibility that WFFF could make a digital subchannel for The CW. WGMU is infamous for having numerous transmitter failures that put the station off air for sometimes weeks at a time, therefore, The CW may not choose to affiliate the station.
  • Did it happen? NO. MyNet instead. No CW affiliate at present. Fox affiliate WFFF or new station WCWF could take it.
• WUPV-TV in Richmond, Virginia (UPN) (Sinclair Broadcast Group/Lockwood Broadcasting)
  • Reason: The WB currently shares WWBT with NBC (which clears a few programs overnights).
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• KSKN (WB) in Spokane, Washington (Belo Corp.)
  • Reason: Although ABC affiliate KXLY was in the proccess of launching a new DT/Analog station that would have become the new home for UPN, which they picked up from KQUP in January 2006, it appears those plans have been put on hold as KXLY dropped UPN from the lineup a month later in February. KSKN was also a UPN affiliate from 1997 to 2000 and benefits from sister CBS affiliate KREM's strong lineup.
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• WHCP in Portsmouth-Huntington-Charleston, Ohio-West Virginia (Television Properties, Inc.)
  • Reason: currently carries both WB (primary) and UPN shows
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• WBUW in Madison, Wisconsin (WB) (ACME Communications)
  • Reason: Full-power station, unlike WISC (Channel 3)-run UPN14, which is limited to cable TV and HDTV homes that can receive UPN14's OTA Channel 3-2
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• WSJP-LP (UPN/WB) in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico (LKK Group)
  • Reason: a dual WB/UPN affilliate.
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• WCVI-TV (UPN) in the U.S. Virgin Islands (Virgin Blue, Inc.)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate
  • Did it happen? Yes.
• KUVI (UPN) in Bakersfield, California (Univision)
  • Reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate. KWFB (aka "WB 12") is a WB affiliate operated by (Clear Channel Communications) that is available on cable only. "WB 12" is managed by CC's local NBC affiliate KGET channel 17.
  • Did it happen? NO, although Wikipedia said so for months until it affiliated with My Network TV and forced the issue. No CW affiliate at present.
• WWMB (UPN) Myrtle Beach, SC
  • Reason: Says so according to the website of their sister station WPDE [2]
  • Did it happen? Despite WPDE tempting fate, yes. Real reason: No over-the-air WB affiliate.

So 36 correct picks to 21 incorrect ones. Hmm. Apparently there's a good reason why Wikipedia is not a crystal ball...

Table:Battle for the CW and My Network TV

DMA#	Market	The CW	My TV	Comments
1	New York	WPIX	WWOR	Automatic for both.
2	Los Angeles	KTLA	KCOP	Automatic for both.
3	Chicago	WGN	WPWR	Automatic for both. (Gee, what a broken record...)
4	Philadelphia	WPSG	WPHL	WPSG automatic. Local WB WPHL owned by Tribune, which waited to affiliate its orphans until upfronts.
5	Boston	WLVI	WZMY	WLVI automatic. Local UPN WSBK owned by CBS, owners of CW, who apparently wouldn't affiliate its orphans, and then did so anyway - with the exception of WSBK. On top of that, WZMY in New Hampshire already uses the "my TV" moniker. They thought about dealing with the naming issue the American way - by suing the pants off them. But that fell off the face of the earth quickly, and they've since been hugging and making up... really making up.
6	Bay Area	KBHK	KRON	KBHK automatic. KRON's first non-NBC affiliation ever. Granite Broadcasting's KBWB needs to fill the airtime.
7	Dallas/FW	KDAF	KDFI	Automatic for both. The "I", for "independent", in KDFI isn't so appropriate anymore!
8	Washington DC	WDCW†	WDCA	Automatic for both.
9	Atlanta	WUPA*	WATL	WUPA automatic, local WB WATL owned by Tribune.
10	Houston	KHCW†	KTXH	Automatic for both.
11	Detroit	WKBD	WMYD†	WKBD is automatic. WMYD owned by Granite Broadcasting (in the process of being sold) and changed calls from WDWB.
12	Tampa Bay	WTOG	WTTA	WTOG is automatic. WTTA part of Sinclair agreement.
13	Seattle	KSTW	KTWB*	KSTW is automatic. Local WB KTWB owned by Tribune (only O&O's in whole market).
14	Phoenix	KASW	KUTP	KUTP automatic. KASW a WB owned by Belo, sister to indy KTVK. There's no real compelling reason for KUTP to change its calls...
15	Twin Cities	KMWB*	WFTC	WFTC automatic. KMWB owned by Sinclair, and so waited until May to make it official.
16	Cleveland	WBNX	WUAB	WBNX was first to affiliate. Neither stations' calls refer to their networks.
17	Miami	WBZL*	WBFS	WBZL is automatic. Local UPN WBFS owned by CBS.
18	Denver	KWGN	KTVD	KWGN is automatic. Local UPN KTVD (owned by Gannett) didn't affiliate before MNTV momentum started being lost.
19	Sacramento	KMAX	KQCA	KMAX is automatic. KQCA is local WB, owned by Hearst-Argyle.
20	Orlando	WKCF	WRBW	WRBW is automatic. WKCF is owned by Emmis Communications, being sold to Hearst-Argyle. I'll stop with the crufty owner's info now.
21	St. Louis	KPLR	WRBU*	KPLR is automatic. WRBU a relative newcomer to the entertainment programming game.
22	Pittsburgh	WPCW†	WPMY†	Both renamed to reflect new affils. WPCW was automatic.
23	Portland	KWBP*	KPDX	KWBP was automatic.
24	Baltimore	WNUV	WUTB	WUTB was automatic. WNUV waited because of Sinclair. There's no real compelling reason for WUTB to change its calls...
25	Indianapolis	WTTV	WNDY	WTTV was automatic. WNDY owned by LIN, which I doubt will affiliate any stations with MNTV.
26	San Diego	KSWB*	XHDTV†	KSWB was automatic. XHUPN becoming XHDTV and becoming known as XDTV. Got that?
27	Charlotte	WJZY	WMYT†	Both owned by Capitol Broadcasting. WMYT had been WWWB, and now uses the My TV logo in its logo.
28	Hartford	WTXX	WCTX	WTXX was automatic. WCTX owned by LIN.
29	Raleigh-Durham	WLFL	WRDC	Both owned by Sinclair.
30	Nashville	WNAB	WUXP*	Both owned by Sinclair.
31	Kansas City	KCWE	KSMO	Poor KMCI. Went in without an affiliation, went out without one. CW found a buyer first.
32	Columbus	WWHO	------>	WWHO, owned by LIN, carries both UPN and WB. This is a "duh" situation. When LIN's chair said unkind things about CW's business model, it looked like WWHO might go to MNTV. My Network TV will use the digital capabilities of ABC affiliate WSYX.
33	Milwaukee	WVTV	WCGV	Both owned by Sinclair.
34	Cincinatti	------>	WSTR	Wrong situation! WSTR part of Sinclair deal. UPN was shown on low-power WBQC-CA, which had a grudge with Time Warner. CW will use the digital capabilities of CBS affiliate WKRC.
35	Grn/Sprt/Ashe	WYCW†	WBSC#	WBSC was part of Sinclair deal.
36	Salt Lake City	KUWB*	KJZZ	KJZZ was former UPN affiliate that left in a big snit.
37	San Antonio	KCWX†	KRRT	KRRT part of Sinclair deal. KCWX (formerly KBEJ) provided UPN to Austin as well, but not anymore...
38	W. Palm Beach	WTVX	WTCN	WTVX was automatic. Local WB affiliate WTCN-CA, believe it or not, is owned by CBS.
39	Grand Rapids	------>	WXSP	WXSP is class A (but spreads its reach on repeaters), WB affiliate WZPX is primarily an i (formerly Pax) affiliate. CW will use the digital capabilities of CBS affiliate WWMT.
40	Birmingham	WTTO	WABM	Both owned by Sinclair.
41	Harrisburg	WLYH	------>	No WB affiliate. Clear Channel owns WLYH and waited until upfronts to affiliate its top two UPN stations. My Network TV will use the digital capabilities of CBS affiliate WHP.
42	Hampton Roads	WGNT	WTVZ	Automatic for WGNT. WTVZ part of Sinclair deal.
43	New Orleans	WNOL	WUPL	Automatic for WNOL. Local UPN WUPL owned by CBS. It was going to be sold to Belo until the deal fell through due to Katrina damage.
44	Memphis	WLMT	WPXX	WLMT: Affiliate of both, owned by Clear Channel. WPXX: An O&O of Pax/i.
45	Oklahoma City	KOCB		UPN KAUT was announced for CW in initial announcement, but CBS didn't own it anymore, having sold it to the New York Times. KOCB was left out of Sinclair deal for My Network TV, rather surprisingly. Finally, KOCB took CW affiliation.
46	Albuquerque	KWBQ*	KASY	Both owned by ACME Communications (yes, that is their name), the Johnny Appleseed of WB affiliates. KASY is its only UPN, and will be its only non-CW.
47	Greensboro	WTWB*	WUPN*	Automatic for WTWB. WUPN part of Sinclair deal. Both need to change their calls, I think.
48	Las Vegas	KFBT	KVWB*	Wrong situation! (But not likely to be regretted.) Both owned by Sinclair. KFBT is an independent that was WB until Sinclair got a hold of both stations, moved WB to one, and didn't move UPN to KFBT for some reason.
49	Buffalo	WNLO	WNYO	WNYO part of Sinclair deal. WNLO owned by LIN.
50	Louisville	WBKI-TV	WFTE	WBKI affiliated first.
51	Providence	WLWC		WLWC was automatic, an affiliate of both networks owned by CBS. MNTV may go digital, if it comes here at all.
52	Jacksonville	WCWJ†	------>	UPN shown on local Fox WAWS. My Network TV will use the digital capabilities of Fox affiliate WAWS.
53	Austin	KNVA	KNVA	KNVA, owned by LIN, has been announced as an affiliate of both CW and My Network TV. The CW announcement came first and came as a shock, as KBEJ/KCWX out of San Antonio also provided UPN to Austin, and had affiliated with the CW. See appropriate article for details.
54	Scr.-Wilkes-B.	WSWB*	WILF	Co-owned. WILF will apparently stop being a simulcast.
55	Sch./Albany	WCWN†	WNYA	WCWN (formerly WEWB) was automatic.
56	Fresno	KFRE	KAIL	Near as I can tell, CW is going to the right place.
57	Little Rock	KASN	KWBF	KASN is owned by Clear Channel, which may be why I've seen so many news reports proclaiming Sinclair to be the last major owner to sign with CW. Clear Channel, of course, is more (in)famous for their radio assets, but they do own stations at both gaps in the 56 metered markets up to this point.
58	Knoxville	WBXX*	------>	WBXX owned by ACME. My Network TV will use the digital capabilities of local CBS affiliate WVLT-TV.
59	Dayton	WBDT*		WBDT owned by ACME. UPN is shown on a local cable channel.
60	Richmond	WUPV*	------>	WB is shown in off-hours on local NBC WWBT. My Network TV will (apparently) use the digital capabilities of local Fox affiliate WRLH.
61	Tulsa	KWBT*	KTFO	Clear Channel's KTFO, for some reason, waited a while to affiliate with My Network TV. I, for some reason, didn't notice it when I first wrote the comments.
62	Mobile/Pensacola	WBPG*	WFGX	WFGX an independent owned by Sinclair.
63	Lexington	------>	WBLU	CW will use the digital capabilities of CBS affiliate WKYT. Louisville's WBKI brings in WB/CW programming into the market very well, however.
64	Charleston WV	WQCW†	------>	WQCW (then WHCP) carries both networks. My Network TV will use the digital capabilities of NBC affiliate WSAZ.
65	Flint	WBSF*	------>	UPN comes from Detroit. My Network TV will use the digital capabilities of CBS affiliate WNEM.
66	Ft. Myers/Naples	WTVK	WNFM	WTVK owned by ACME. UPN is split between a couple of low powered stations and a cable-only station run by Comcast, with the fake call letters shown. My Network TV should have gone digital here.
67	Wichita	KSCW†	KSCC	Fits the notice at the beginning. KSCC waited a while for some reason, not affiliating until June.
68	Roanoke	------>	------>	CW will use the digital capabilities of Fox affiliate WJPR. My Network TV will use the digital capabilities of CBS affiliate WDBJ. UPN affiliate WDRL is just screwed.
69	Green Bay	WIWB*	WACY	WIWB owned by Acme.
70	Toledo	WT05		WT05 is a cable-only channel. WNGT is the local UPN affiliate, and still uses the "shapes" UPN logo on-air, though not on its web site. It's a little behind the times...
71	Tucson	KWBA*	KTTU	Fits the notice at the beginning.
72	Honolulu		KFVE	Wrong situation! UPN shown on otherwise-Asian-themed KIKU, whose chances of deciding to further disrupt their schedule with the CW is slim to none. KFVE owned by Raycom Media.
73	Des Moines	KPWB*	------>	My Network TV will supposedly use the digital capabilities of KDMI, supposedly owned by Pappas Telecasting, who owns KPWB (wait... two stations, and CW uses one and MNTV goes digital on the other that might not be on the air yet?), and the station shows up on a TVQ only with a "modification of construction permit" for digital - and no analog. Huh. (And come to think of it, where the hell did this come from anyway?)
74	Portland, ME	WPXT	WPME	Fits the notice at the beginning.
75	Omaha	KXVO	------>	My Network TV will use the digital capabilities of local Fox affiliate KPTM.
76	Syracuse	WSTQ	WNYS	Wrong situation! Solely by virtue of WSTQ being low-power. WNYS part of Sinclair deal.
77	Springfield, MO	K15CZ	KWBM*	Wrong situation! CW will use the digital capabilities of local NBC affiliate KYTV.
78	Spokane	KSKN	------>	My Network TV will use the digital capabilities of local ABC affiliate KXLY.
79	Rochester	WRWB*	WBGT	WRWB is cable-only. WBGT is low power.
80	Paducah, KY	WQWQ	WDKA	Wrong situation! Again, only because WQWQ is low power. WDKA part of Sinclair deal.
81	Shreveport	KPXJ	KSHV	Does NOT fit general principle: UPN will become CW, WB will turn My Network TV.
82	Champaign	WBUI*	WCFN	WBUI owned by ACME. Whether or not asterisk is deserved is unknown.
83	Columbia, SC	WZRB	WBHQ*	Does NOT fit general principle: UPN will become CW, WB will turn My Network TV.
84	Huntsville, AL	WHDF	------>	My Network TV will use the digital capbilities of local Fox affiliate WZDX, on a channel that already calls itself WAWB*.
85	Madison	WBUW*	------>	WBUW owned by ACME. My Network TV will use the digital capabilities of local CBS affiliate WISC, where UPN broadcasts now.
86	Chattanooga	WFLI	------>	My Network TV will use the digital capabilities of local Fox affiliate WDSI.
87	South Bend	WMWB*	WMYS†	Both low-powered stations owned by Weigel Broadcasting.
88	CR/Wtrloo/IA Cty/Dub.	KWKB*	KWKB*	UPN affiliate KWWF just got screwed. Owner Equity may be saving it to show its own minor network on the station.
89	Jackson	WRBJ	------>	Officially Fox affiliate WUFX. This may be in place of Fox affiliation, not using digital capabilities. Fox would then move to WB affiliate WDBD. However, I won't believe it unless I see either 1) a citation provided or 2) the switch actually occuring.
90	Burlington		WGMU	Wrong situation! WB is shown in off-hours on local Fox affiliate WFFF.
91	TN-VA Tri-Cities	------>	WAPK	CW will use the digital capabilities of local NBC affiliate WCYB, which shows WB. WAPK is class A.
92	Rio Grande Delta			No clue where UPN comes from, if anywhere; WB comes from KMHB, a member of The WB 100+ Station Group, a group of cable channels for markets ranked 100 and below. (We swear, this market used to be one of them!)
93	Colorado Springs	KXTU	------>	No clue where WB comes from, if anywhere. My Network TV will use the digital signal of local CBS affiliate KKTV.
94	Waco/Temple/Bryan	------>	KWKT	CW will use the digital capabilities of local CBS affiliate KWTX. My Network TV will be secondary on a Fox affiliate.
95	Quad Cities (IL/IA)	KGWB*	???	This is confusing. Our List of My Network TV affiliates page says it'll be on WQII-LP, but also says it's owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, whose original batch of affiliations included no market this small. It also says the station carries UPN now, but the applicable template says UPN is shown on WBQD-LP. Clarification/citation needed!
