So, What Did Happen? The CW Breakup
Back in the day, CW50 was your one-stop shop for all things CW, from teen angst on Riverdale to those Winchester bros saving the world (again) on Supernatural. But then, in a move that would make even the most dramatic CW character clutch their pearls, a big media shakeup happened in October 2022. Nexstar Media Group, basically the new kid on the block, bought a controlling stake in The CW. This meant CBS, the folks who owned CW50, could ditch the CW affiliation if they wanted.
Fast forward to May 2023, and CBS decided to peace out with The CW. WKBD (that's the official station name, in case you were wondering) became an independent station, like a television maverick roaming the airwaves.
Where'd The CW Go? The Great Detroit CW Migration
Don't worry, Detroiters, your CW fix is still out there. The CW affiliation hopped over to WADL for a hot minute, but that was shorter than a commercial break. Now, you can catch your favorite CW shows on WMYD.
