Nexstar Media Group has announced five new affiliates for its CW Network, and all of them are owned by the company.
On Thursday, Nexstar said its stations in Augusta, Monroe, Terre Haute, Wichita Falls and Utica will become affiliates of the CW Network between September and October. The stations will carry the CW Network on digital subchannels of its main broadcast feed.
The stations that will become CW Network affiliates are:
- KARD-DT2 (Channel 14) in Monroe, Louisiana
- KFDX-DT3 (Channel 3) in Wichita Falls, Texas
- WFXV-DT2 (Channel 33) in Utica, New York
- WJBF-DT3 (Channel 6) in Augusta, Georgia
- WTWO-DT2 (Channel 2) in Terre Haute, Indiana
“The addition of these affiliates will bring the number of Nexstar- and partner-owned CW stations to 54, covering more than 45% of U.S. TV households,” said Andrew Alford, the President of Nexstar’s Broadcasting business. “As The CW’s number one affiliate group, Nexstar is very pleased to be airing the network’s programming on these stations this fall, especially with NASCAR Xfinity series racing and the WWE’s NXT joining a very robust lineup of sports programming, including LIV Golf and ACC college football and basketball, and Pac-12 football. Adding The CW’s programming to these stations will offer advertisers a variety of new linear and digital opportunities to reach millions of viewers.”
