rear_flank 32 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Nexstar Media Group said stations it owns in Philadelphia, San Francisco and Tampa, Florida, will become affiliates of The CW starting September 1. https://www.nexttv.com/news/three-nexstar-stations-adding-cw-affiliations-on-september-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyWatch 238 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 As was expected. Overall, no big adjustments in shuffling syndicated fare out of 8-10pm and plugging in CW content, but I do wonder if Nexstar will make any attempts at expanding the in-house news department into non-traditional slots for the area (11am hour, 1-3pm, the 7pm hour). Going up against Good Day and the national morning shows is a tall task, this could provide additional news exposure with no (or just one other newscast) competition. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wofchristian 24 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Are there markets without a MyNetwork affiliate? I’m wondering if they will air WWOR in the Philadelphia market as a temporary replacement. After that I expect them to try to get another local station, such as WFMZ to become a MyNetwork affiliate.

compubit 670 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) Or could they go with something like KiAH has - traffic, weather and headlines in the morning and leave the 10pm to WPVI?

Given NewsNation, even as lackluster as it is, there will be NN local programing on CW, guaranteed. Edited July 17, 2023 by ABC 7 Denver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah WSBK in Boston dropped it and no one else picked it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rear_flank 32 Posted July 23, 2023 Author Share Posted July 23, 2023 So I am guessing PHL morning news is done when The CW takes over? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they will move all programming to WPHL-TV since Nexstar owes CW/WPHL-TV. They are currently constructing a new news set as well set to debut in Oct/Nov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie56 3059 Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I don’t think the morning news is going away when WPHL gets The CW. They have no reason to cancel it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rear_flank 32 Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 The switch to The CW had some technical issues last night. A test card came on for a few minutes at 8pm and some of the bumpers were cut off or repeating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaZone4K 1511 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) The question is, why does My Network TV still exist. I'm surprised it hasn't gone the way of UPN/the WB. Edited September 7, 2023 by MediaZone4K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
