CW 50 to ditch The CW, return to independence
Re: CW 50 to ditch The CW, return to independence
Another thing they could try is this. I'm not making a prediction, it's just technically possible.
31.1 - Remains Ion, but uses 720p resolution
31.2 - Bounce moves here from channel 7.2 and upgrades to 720p
38.1 - Same programming, but also switches to 720p
38.2 - CW programming winds up here with 720p
Both channels 7 and 20 are 720p unless you watch them over the ATSC 3.0 signal. I am now wondering if The CW will become another Syndication Service rather than a network soon. That is what happened to MyNetworkTV.

Wish they'd bring back UPN.

"I remember cartoons back in the day. "
Speed Racer and Rocky & Bullwinkle, and the monster movies on Thursdays on channel 7 were favorite after school fare.

Here is one TV ratings link for the shows and the broadcast networks.

Scripps owns 16 stations that are affiliated with The CW, either as a primary or a subchannel:Splouge wrote: ↑Sun May 14, 2023 1:47 pm20 has Antenna TV on a subchannel, and that's owned by Nexstarmmb5 wrote: ↑Fri May 05, 2023 1:00 pmZero.

Re: CW 50 to ditch The CW, return to independence
Yes, because ultimately this is business. If both Nexstar and Scripps think that this is best for their bottom lines, then CW20 will happen. It makes sense for Nexstar to have CW on 20 rather than 31 or 38. The question is whether Scripps thinks CW programming can bring in more people than their current syndicated schedule. And why not? Is Chicago Fire five nights a week really that big of a draw?

Sound points, Lush.
I think there is certainly a chance CW programming will appear on WMYD.
WMYD, WADL and WPXD are all realistic possibilities. Hell, I won't even rule out WDIV!

We may have an answer to where CW programming will move...

My furthest DTV tropo: KDKA Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at 202 miles for three days in January 2017 and a night in September 2017 with only an Antennas Direct C2V!

Re: CW 50 to ditch The CW, return to independence
If you ask me, I think that 50 and 62 should swap programming. If CBS goes to 50, they can gain back some of the dignity they once had. It really makes no sense for Viacom to have an independent station with a lower channel number than their CBS station.
Or even better, WWJ should make an offer to WHNE to swap virtual channel numbers.

Re: CW 50 to ditch The CW, return to independence
I don't believe your last suggestion is even permissible under FCC rules.
There is zero reason for WWJ-TV programming to move to WKBD. WWJ-TV has stronger daylong ratings and it also enjoys a better OTA signal than WKBD.
