Just found this out. If this happens, what does this mean for CBS 62 and CW50? Will this mean that they will no longer be sister stations? If this is true, than it would be H***. With CBS62 starting a news department this year, I think it’s safe to say CW 50 might be without news, yet again.

I can see CBS62 moving back to Detroit, with CBS fulfilling its long dream of having a state of the art studio, which was the plan 27 years ago.

What do you guys think? Not sure what do think about this.

I'm not sure that the 2 will split, as the "62" station was a failing station (as WGPR-TV), when purchased and the both would still be owned by Viacom/CBS.

CW50 will remain The CW even if ViacomCBS sells to Nexstar which I believe ViacomCBS will still have a stake in the network just my opinion. Nexstar doesn't own The CW in West Michigan Sinclair owns The CW on WWMT .2 since its debut in the fall of 06 when Freedom owned WWMT, maybe The CW will move to WXSP which is a low power TV station that was UPN from 99-06 and became a TV service MyNet TV when Lin TV owned it which Nexstar owns.

The sale is definitely not going to include WKBD. Nexstar is already at the limit of stations they can own. Unless they divest some of their current stations.

Maybe they'll add Nexstar's Rewind TV to a subchannel.

Here is what COULD happen:
Nexstar gets what it ask for ,which is Majority stake in CW, that PROBABLY means ,lets say 60%
ViacomCBS and Discovery/Warner get 20% each in a Minority stake
programming remains the same ,if only with some changes in daytime due to ratings or shows ending production [Maury ,steve wilkos..quite possibly Nick Cannon & Wendy Williams ]

Not gonna happen. There's a ban on one company owning two TV networks.

agreed, unless ViacomCBS were to split up [again!] I don't look for that to happen either ..
