Rumor has it that Scripps is going to move to Sports on WMYD, they think the Diamond Sport Network will only last another 6 months or so before imploding and then all local Sports will need to move over to “Over The Air” free broadcasting like it was in the early to mid-1990s before the advent of ESP ...

Déjà Vu, here we go again! This time the CW Network will be kicked off of WMYD TV-20 on September 1, 2024.
