[edit] The CW
I'm noticing quite a bit of unsourced speculation in articles on present UPN and WB affiliates. For example, is there any source which states that WDWB will revert to its WXON calls? -- SwissCelt 15:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] No more WB ? Bring The Ghoul back !
Now that the once and future WXON will be an independent station once again, I think the first thing they should do is bring The Ghoul back to Detroit! Ghoul power rules !
In Case You Have Not Noticed, The WB Is No Longer In America, It Merged With UPN To Become The CW, (Which Is Seen On WKBD) ANd WMYD Switched To My Network TV. They're NOT Going To Bring The Ghoul back, So Get Over It! Tomjerry9 15:14, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WDWB-TV to WXON-TV?
It can happen. look at KUAM-TV and KUAM-LP...same call-signs, different suffixes.... of course, they may have to ask WXON-LP in Flint, Michigan for permission.

- It can happen, surely. But Wikipedia is not the place for unfounded speculation; as they say, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Unless and until some source says that this will happen, the idea that WDWB "will" (read: might) revert to its WXON calls does not belong in this article. -- SwissCelt 23:11, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
WJMY-TV actually was on from about Sept 1962, running for a few months then going off the air in Jun 1963. WKBD 50 was the first successful independent station in Detroit (and the second successful UHF, after the channel 56 public television station) in 1965. WXON went on the air in 1968 on Ch 62, as the article correctly states, then changed to Ch 20 after buying out the facilities of WJMY (inactive for nine years). The Ch 62 facilities were taken up by WGPR in the mid-1970s, becoming the first African-American (contemporary term "black") owned and operated TV station in the US. I'm not clear on post 1981 shuffling, however. GBC 21:56, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
