Like I thought

UPN 68 to air as independent after merger

The general manager of both 21 and 68 says that he wants the latter to focus on "high school sports and family-oriented events," because he hates having to run two stations and wants one of them to go out of business. He then added that "I think that is the crux of what is needed in this market," which is meaningless noise. Back in '98, Sinclair (the evil owners) dropped the UPN affiliation for seven months and actually made more money, because nobody really watches UPN. Well, I do, but I'm not anybody.

I just wish we would get the new CW in HD. (I''m on Charter, FWIW.) As long as Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars are still on, I don't care what they call the station!
