But CBS Corp owns WCBS, KCBS, WBBM, KYW, KPIX, WBZ, KTVT, WWJ (the only CBS O&O don't do local news), WCCO, WFOR, KDKA, KCNC, and KOVR (aka the CBS O&O station that refused to air now-defunct GUIDING LIGHT), plus CW stations like KBCW, KMAX, KSTW, WPCW, WTOG, and WUPA, Indie stations like KCAL, WLNY, and KTXA, MNT stations WSBK, and WBFS, plus Tr3s station WBXI.
