WOOD Grand Rapids, Mich.; KELO Sioux Falls, S.D.; and WMBB Panama City, Fla., will carry CW’s primetime entertainment and live sports programming, on subchannels.
Three More Nexstar Stations Becoming CW Affils On Jan. 1
Nexstar Media Group said today that beginning Jan. 1, 2024, its WOOD Grand Rapids, Mich.; KELO Sioux Falls, S.D.; and WMBB Panama City, Fla., will begin carrying the primetime entertainment and live sports programming of The CW Network on one of their subchannels.
“The addition of CW programming to these Nexstar-owned stations will bring the number of Nexstar and partner-owned CW affiliates to 45, covering more than 39% of U.S. TV Households,” said Andrew Alford, president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division. “As The CW’s No. 1 affiliate group, we are very pleased to be taking this step, especially as several new entertainment shows get set to premier and ACC college basketball moves deeper into its season — WWE NXT in fall 2024 also will be a big hit. As a result, our CW-affiliated stations will be able to offer advertisers even more opportunities to reach viewers.”
The CW reaches 100% of U.S. households and delivers 15 hours of primetime entertainment programming per week and more than 300 hours of live sports annually, as the broadcast home to LIV Golf, ACC football and basketball games, Inside the NFL, WWE NXT beginning in 2024 and NASCAR Xfinity Series beginning in 2025. The fully ad-supported CW App, with more than 96 million downloads to date, is available for free to consumers on all major digital platforms.
“These stations are great additions to the CW family,” said Dennis Miller, president of The CW Network. “Each station has a deep relationship with its viewers, advertisers, and the communities it serves, which is exactly what we look for in an affiliate — each will be a superb ambassador for our programming.”

WWE is Sports & Entertainment yes I know that winners are already determined before the match and wrestlers can get injured in the square circle/ring, I know I couldn’t take the bumps I’d get seriously injured. The wrestlers are athletes as well. I don’t watch wrestling stopped watching 20 years ago where I’d watch every week for Raw & Smackdown fazed out over time on watching WWE.

I’m calling it CW6 since that is where WOTV DT2 is at since 2 or 3 weeks ago when channel 6 was added was deleted 9 years ago was either QVC or HSN on channel 6. On Charter Spectrum be different from other pay-TV.
