And all this time I thought the affiliation would be going to WDIV's 4.2 or 4.4 subchannels. This news will at least open the door for Me TV Toons to affiliate with 4.2 or 4.4 instead.
My furthest DTV tropo: KDKA Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at 202 miles for three days in January 2017 and a night in September 2017 with only an Antennas Direct C2V!

Current setup: Antennas Direct C2Max (2018-present)

I would have given a reunion with WADL a better chance than WKBD!

Another Paramount property, WBFS-TV, Miami FL will also be affiliating with The CW.

Agreed! They need to either go back to CW50 or just go old school and have the TV50 branding.

I was surprised that The CW is returning to WKBD as I thought it was going to be on WDIV's subchannel or maybe WADL if Kevin and Nexstar made up.

I wonder if news will officially go back to 50.

Looks like the new branding will be “Detroit 50 the CW.”

Im not surprised, leave us not forget Nexstar switched CW from WCIU 26 back to WGN 9, logic stands to reason WKBD was logically the only reasonable choice , and as for WADL, no win, no loss and Kevin Adell keeps his "baby" [or sells it to Byron Allen]

Detroit 50 The CW. You have got to be kidding me.

CW50 was 10 times better than that.

I think they should go back to CW50 not a fan of Detroit 50 The CW.
