Just as FTVLive told you would happen.

The eight CBS O&O’s that are being operated as CW affiliates will drop that affiliation In September.

This decision was made when Nexstar (now the owner of the CW) signed a deal to air the Saudi back LIV Golf tour.

CBS has a longstanding relationship with the PGA Tour, which is suing and being sued by LIV Golf.

The O&O’s that will leave the CW in September are WPSG Philadelphia, WUPA Atlanta, KBCW San Francisco, KSTW Seattle, WTOT Tampa, WKBD Detroit, KMAX Sacramento, and WPCW Pittsburgh.

In many of the markets, Nexstar will turn its owned stations in the market to CW affiliates.

Nexstar will have issues finding affiliates in some markets, such as Detroit.
