Most, but not all, of my contributions have to do with the end of UPN and The WB, and the subsequent formation of The CW and My Network TV. I'm especially interested in what stations, from New York to Glendive (or more accurately, from Philadelphia to Glendive), will be affiliating with both networks. (Glendive, Montana is Nielsen's 210th market, or last place. It's got about a third the households of #209 (5 thousand to 15 thousand).)

Stations with an asterisk will likely change their call letters. Stations with a number sign (#) have already done so AND the calls listed are not current. Stations with a cross (†) have already done so AND the calls listed are not the ones they had upon affiliation. Any stations I flag with Wrong situation! indicate markets where something went wrong, and a station was too wowed by My Network TV to see that CW has to be a better investment. Because most of these affiliation agreements are long-term, if MNTV turns out to be terrible and CW turns out to be the biggest hit since (or even more than) Fox (which is FAR more likely than the other way around), something will be wrong in the market for a while, and shame shalt befall the foolish MNTV affilee. (Can you see where my loyalties lie?)

'''Generally, The WB stations will join The CW, and UPN stations will join My Network TV, but this is not always the case. Please read the comments and the station articles if you're not sure where to find shows of either network.'''

Now begone, back to the main page.
