The CW is about to lose eight important affiliates: the CBS owned and operated stations that are currently affiliated with the Nexstar-owned network will become independent in September. This includes KSTW 11 Tacoma-Seattle (Deadline)

If the CW does move to KUNS-TV, what would the station show outside of network programming(whatever the CW has left; I stopped paying attention after Riverdale and Nancy Drew wrapped up their runs a couple of months ago)?
Showing Spanish Language programming most of the day, and then English Language CW shows in primetime? Reruns of shows from KOMO? Other syndicated programming?
Press release has info on programming– Univision??? https://www.qzvx.com/2023/11/02/kuns-will-be-the-new-home-of-cw-network-in-january/
I just read that CW is moving to KUNS on January 1st 2024.
Source? This would be a better spot for the CW. Univision could move to a sub-channel.
I have mixed feelings about that breaking story. I can imagine the Tegna-owned KONG-TV becoming Seattle’s new home to the CW and hope that happens. Otherwise, I can watch my favorite CW shows on the CW app on a next-day basis. Yet, I’m fine with whether or not KSTW may change its branding to “KSTW 11” or revert it to “Northwest 11.”
MeTV 11 or reruns of Green Acres and I Dream of Jeannie — back to decent Independent local tv. Sounds good to me.
Gooood Lookin’ 11!
The CW content (outside of Seinfeld re-reuns) is un-watchable. Well unless if you’ve been raised playing Doom.
I grew up watching Channel 11. Now, I have no reason to.
