To me Nexstar/Mission didn't need to buy WADL I think that Scripps would've been more than happy to take The CW for WMYD TV20.

If I understand Adell's statements correctly, he seems to think that WMYD is conspiring to sabotage the sale of WADL to Mission.

Kevin and his dad have had a contentious relationship with Scripps since they moved next door some 30 years ago. From paying for the gate guard to landscaping and paving the driveway among other things there seems to always be a feud of some sort going on.

I've noticed that WMYD continues to ID as 20 Detroit although the CW programming aired during Primetime. Are they still not sure if the WADL sale to Mission Broadcasting is going to happen or be approved?

This is my guess. It doesn't make sense to re-brand while the situation is still fluid.

I was supportive of Nexstar acquiring WADL in the past. Mainly because of the possibilty of getting Rewind TV. Now I'm good either way, since The Drew Carey Show is coming to Antenna TV next year.

Yes! I agree. Love me some Whose Line.
TBD (still a dumb name for a network) is adding the current iteration of Whose Line to its lineup. Monday-Saturday from 7PM to 10, and Sunday nights from 6 to 10. Promos said "Premeiring Monday December 4", which is today. But they already aired it yesterday.

TBD is also adding Key & Peele and Punk'd. I've never seen Key & Peele, but I'll be checking it out. And as irritating as Ashton Kutcher can be, I actually kinda like Punk'd.
