Detroit Free Press | February 16, 2006
- Feb. 16--The end of the WB Network in the fall has at least delayed -- and perhaps ended -- Granite Broadcasting's deal to sell Detroit's WDWB-TV (Channel 20).
- Granite reportedly paid $175 million for the Detroit station alone in 1996.
- But when the WB and CBS announced a new network called the CW featuring shows from the WB and CBS-controlled UPN in January, Detroit's WDWB was left without a network affiliation -- plus the need to reimage itself including a change of its WB-oriented call letters, logos and Web addresses.
The Philadelphia Inquirer | February 16, 2006
- Feb. 16--Philadelphia sister stations CBS 3 (KYW-TV) and UPN 57 (WPSG-TV) will relocate to an office building six blocks north of City Hall, a move that culminates a three-year search for a new home.
- Financial terms weren't disclosed.
- The stations will move in March 2007, around the expiration of their leases at Fifth and Market Streets, according to Michael Colleran, the stations' president and general manager.
