Back to CBS, first programme move for the post-CW era: Syndicating crime and justice magazine Forty Eight Hours to the stations. Not just for existing O&Os, but also network affiliates and, especially, the new independent sister stations.

CBS Stations programming chief John Budkins added, “48 Hours is a great fit for our CBS-owned stations. We look forward to showcasing the program in primetime in 10 of our markets, including on seven of the eight stations where we will be transitioning from The CW to independent status next month.”
