Not sure having the CW as a sub channel is a win for anyone, but hey if the balance sheet works…………………….lol
Well, looks like Tegna and Nexstar couldn’t work out a deal after all. A just-posted news release from Nexstar announced that KOMO will be the new CW affiliate! It obviously would have to be on a KOMO subchannel, though… I don’t see the CW replacing ABC on Channel 4.1 !! 🙂
