From this paragraph here, seems like it'll soon be carrying the CW, moving away from the digital subchannel on KFMB (CBS/Tegna):
Quote:The transaction, subject to regulatory and other customary approvals, is expected to close later this year and is expected to be accretive to Nexstar’s operating results when The CW Network affiliation becomes available in the market.
From what I've seen, it seems Tegna's CW affiliation contract in San Diego doesn't expire until 2026.
They must have some sort of exit clause, it seems like a strange move for Nexstar to sit on a station for three years, unless it was their only chance to buy the station.
