My mother’s in Memphis, and I’m sure that affiliate isn’t owned by CBS.
I think WUSA is still owned by Gannett; it’s the ABC affiliate that changed ownership. BTW if anyone’s curious about why my mother has Dish (when she has other options, i.e., ATT Uverse* and Comcast), it’s because Dish carries at least a couple of German language channels.

MelissaP, to M-D November: I figured CBS isn’t gone (yet) since I haven’t heard anything from my mother. Many places (WSJ, CNN, LA Times) are reporting that the O&Os have pulled the plug.
