The Great San Diego CBS Caper: Did They Ditch Us or Did We Ditch Them?
San Diego, buckle up for a story that's wilder than a runaway mariachi band at a sea lion convention. We're talking about the curious case of CBS, or should we say, the former CBS affiliate in our fair city.
What Happened To Cbs In San Diego |
Gone in a Flash (Almost)
Remember flipping on channel 8 and getting your daily dose of "60 Minutes" or that heart-stopping Chargers game? Well, back in 2017, things took a dramatic turn. CBS, in a move that left many scratching their heads, decided to peace out as the channel 8 affiliate. Poof! Just like that, Sheldon and the gang on "Big Bang Theory" were replaced by...well, something else entirely.
The Blame Game: Who's the Culprit?
Now, the finger-pointing started faster than you can say "breaking news." Some folks say CBS got greedy, demanding too much moolah from channel 8's owners. Others point the blame at the station itself, whispering rumors of a secret rendezvous with a different network (looking at you, CW!).
But Wait, There's More! (The Plot Thickens)
Hold on to your burritos, San Diego! The story doesn't end there. Channel 8, not wanting to leave us high and dry, did a little switcheroo of their own. They snagged the CW affiliation, basically saying, "CBS, your loss!"
Reminder: Focus on key sentences in each paragraph.
So, Can We Still Get Our CBS Fix?
Absolutely! Fear not, news junkies and "Survivor" fanatics. Here's the good news: CBS didn't completely disappear into thin air. They simply moved to a different channel, partnering up with a Tijuana-based station, XETV.
But XETV... Isn't that, Like, in Mexico?
Yes, and no. XETV broadcasts from Tijuana, but it reaches San Diego loud and clear. Though, you might catch the occasional telenovela commercial in between your favorite shows. Just think of it as a chance to brush up on your Spanish!
