From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of stations which were affiliated with
The WB in the
United States at the time of the network's closure. The WB shut down September 17, 2006. Former affiliates of The WB became affiliates of
The CW ,
MyNetworkTV , another network, reverted to
independent status, or shut down entirely. Some WB affiliates dropped WB programming on September 5, 2006 in favor of MyNetworkTV.
From January 1995 to September 2006,
Tribune Broadcasting was an investor in The WB, along with the
Warner Bros. division of
Time Warner . Tribune held an initial 12.5 percent stake in the network at its launch, and later increased it to 22 percent; most of Tribune's television properties were key WB affiliates but not owned-and-operated stations of the network as Time Warner had
controlling interest in it. On January 24, 2006, Warner Bros. Television announced that they would merge The WB with the CBS-owned United Paramount Network to form a new programming service called the CW. All but three of Tribune's WB stations joined the CW on September 18, 2006, through ten-year agreements. Tribune does not have an ownership interest in the CW. Stations in bold are Tribune owned and operated stations.
