WPHL-TV (MyNetworkTV, replacing WPSG in Philadelphia)

WTTA-TV (MyNetworkTV, replacing WTOG in Tampa Bay)
Quote:Nexstar Media Group today announced this morning that its owned-and-operated stations in three of the nation’s top-15 television markets — WPHL Philadelphia (DMA 4), KRON San Francisco (10) and WTTA Tampa, Fla. (13), will become affiliates of The CW Network on Sept. 1.From tvnewscheck.com
All three stations are now affiliates of MyNetworkTV, while the current CW affiliates in those markets are WPSG Philadelphia, KBCU San Francisco and WTOG Tampa.
Andrew Alford, president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division, said: “The addition of these Nexstar-owned stations as affiliates will bring the number of Nexstar and partner-owned CW stations to 40, covering 38% of U.S. TV households — equivalent to or greater than the local owned and operated station presence of any of the other major network owners.
“As The CW’s No. 1 affiliate group [and owner], Nexstar is very pleased to be bringing the network’s programming to these stations this fall, especially with a new line-up of primetime shows such as Inside the NFL, Sullivan’s Crossing and Fboy Island, and returning hits such as All-American and Walker. Philadelphia, San Francisco and Tampa are among the most important television markets in the country and adding The CW’s programming to them will offer advertisers a variety of new linear and digital opportunities to reach millions of viewers.”
