The question is if Nexstar wants to do more station buying to get CW affils. I would be curious if in Chicago they would want to buy WCIU if they can't void the affiliation agreement to get the network back on WGN, which might entail buying all of Weigel Broadcasting, meaning that after the purchase they would have to sell stations in NY, LA and SF to keep WPIX, KTLA and KRON (and move the C-Dub affil to MyTV affil --yes, it's still around--KRON) and possibly merge MeTV and Antenna TV.
