We're already aware that The WB and UPN will cease operations in September, and viewers will be seeing a new network... The CW. It would appear that the FOX/News Corp. O&O UPN affiliates will be picking up the new network, since they've pretty much been shunned by The CW.
New York City (WWOR), Los Angeles (KCOP), Chicago (WPWR), Dallas-Ft. Worth (KDFI), Washington (WDCA), Houston (KTXH), Minneapolis-St. Paul (WFTC), Phoenix (KUTP), Orlando (WRBW), and Baltimore (WUTB).
As for those the non FOX/News Corp. O&O not getting The CW... Who knows? Unless, WATL would be interested in the new network, or FOX/News Corp. acquiring ownership of the station, and making Atlanta a duopoly market. Just a thought.

I've got some more news to share regarding "My Network TV". The Sinclair Group has signed on several of its WB and UPN affilaites, and maybe some of its Independant stations to the new FOX/News Corp. FOX "mini-network".
Some of those non FOX/News Corp. stations include...
WTTA, the WB affilaite in Tampa-St. Petersburg
WABM, the UPN affilaite in Birmingham
WCWB, the WB affilaite in Pittsburgh
WSTR, the WB affilaite in Cincinnati
Hmmm, with WUPA getting The CW, could and might WATL be expressing interest in My Network TV?
