How is it known that this station will become the The CW Television Network? This is like 8 months from now and anything can happen. Just a thought. James084 21:12, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

This station, as a Tribune-owned affiliate, has signed a 10-year affiliation deal with the newly created CW Television Network. XHUPN, the current market UPN affiliate will likely revert to independent status, since its affiliation will end. XHUPN is not owned by either CBS Corporation or Tribune Company, so it made sense to have Tribune's KSWB take on The CW Television Network affiliation. D2001dstanley 03:04, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

This was confirmed by Tribune during their conference call announcing their participation in The CW yesterday. There are a handful of markets whose Tribune/WB stations will not join The CW, each of them is located in markets where Viacom already owns the current UPN station (WATL Atlanta for example). A full list, as released by Tribune and Viacom yesterday can be found on Wikipedia at List of CW affiliates. Mhking 03:06, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

contrary to the article "everyone from the station" was not let go when the station ceased their *news* operation. The news department and the anchors departed, which is hardly "everyone from the station". The morning show anchor is still there as well, for what's it worth.
