The subchannel is the one used by Sinclair-MGM* diginet Comet (channel 4.2). This means a technical downgrade, as the subchannel is in SD (but it airs in widescreen). Comet programming is still airing outside The CW's networked schedule. BTW, all of this looks very temporary.

*A bit of off-topic: with the acquisition by Amazon, MGM had to sell its stake on Comet to Sinclair, although the Lion continues to provide the bulk of the network's schedule; however, since Sinclair took full control, they have added more shows from Disney Media Distribution and Universal Television, including The X-Files and Buffy.

If it looks very temporary then where is The CW going to go next? Because I've got no idea
