WISH is no longer the CBS station in Indy. That shifted to WTTV on January 1. WISH is now a CW affiliate.

Another MAJOR omission of facts by TV Newsday. WTF! Get with it, writers. Virtually everyone in the TV business knows WISH lost its CBS affiliation effective 1 January 2015. Yet here we see another sub-headline by a ‘staff’ writer at TV Newsday that is erroneous!
