List of CW affiliates

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of affiliates of the CW Television Network, which launched September 18, 2006, together with their former affiliation. The new network resulted from the shutdown and merger of both the WB and UPN networks, both of which had begun in January 1995.

The new network is based around 16 WB affiliates owned by the Tribune Company (co-owner of the WB along with Time Warner) and 11 UPN affiliates owned by CBS Corporation. The CW covers approximately 95.289 percent of U.S. television homes. The largest of these additional affiliate groups are Pappas Telecasting Companies, with ten affiliates (six broadcast stations, one digital and three local cable channels); Sinclair Broadcast Group, which affiliated eight of its stations to the CW after a reported two month dispute over reverse compensation to the network; and ACME Communications, which committed broadcast stations in all seven markets in which it operates.

KNVA in Austin, Texas owned by LIN Television and KWKB in Iowa City, Iowa owned by KM Communications are the only two stations carrying both The CW (as a primary) and MyNetworkTV (as a secondary). In addition, WTVY in Dothan, Alabama, a CBS affiliate owned by Gray Television, now carries MyNetworkTV on a digital subchannel which was previously affiliated with UPN, and also added a third digital subchannel for the CW. WTOK-TV in Meridian, Mississippi, also owned by Gray, added two more digital subchannels for the CW and MyNetworkTV, in addition to ABC on its main channel and Fox on another subchannel.

[edit] Notes

¹ In areas of the United States where CW programming is not available, WNUV (Baltimore) is available to subscribers of DirecTV on channel 385.
²These stations carry the CW on a digital subchannel, which is available to viewers of digital television. Most of these digital subchannels should also be available in their respective markets through local cable television providers.
³Cable channel already operational, but not yet broadcasting via a digital subchannel.
⁴KCWE is available to cable subscribers in the St. Joseph Market, as are the other Kansas City network affiliates.
⁵Cable-only KWBZ in Lubbock, Texas will have an analog and digital signal when The CW launches. Analog channel 22 has been assigned.
⁶ Most likely, the CW website refers to a "North Dakota CW" coming to that market. TV listings for KWMK show it will carry CW programming after September 18, 2006.
⁷ Station under The WB 100 Stations Group that provided the WB on cable only channels to smaller markets that are expected to continue to provide programming of the CW Network in a similar fashion.
⁸ KSWB will switch to a Fox network affiliation on August 1, 2008. A new San Diego CW affiliate has not been determined to date.
