Only time will tell if Morgan Murphy Media decides to affiliate WBUP 10.2/WBKP 5.1 in Marquette, Michigan with MyNetworkTV for Nexstar to affilliate WJMN-TV 3 with The CW television network.
Doing so would take a few years of talks among both station partners (as well as a fe declines to renew affiliate contracts for the stations) and would better allign WBUP 10/WBKP 5 with their new sister station, WKBT-DT 8 in La Crosse/Eau Claire, Wisconsin, who also has a MyNetworkTV subchannel, plus Nexstar Media owns a majority of The CW, so placing that affilliation on WJMN-TV 3 (WJMN-TV 3 is a legacy semi-satellite station of WFRV-TV 5 in Green Bay, Wisconsin that is now a partial semi-satellite since 2013, now that station does its own local newcasts without mostly relying on its big Green Bay sister station to help) could help that Nexstar Media station, which is still struggling with the loss of CBS programming to WZMQ 19.2, when Lilly Broadcasting wanted a broadcast TV presence in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, with WZMQ 19.2 giving Yoopers a new choice for local news and CBS programs upon their launch in 2022.
I'm like everyone else on here, I'll believe it when I learn about it...it's going to be a monumental task that'll take Nexstar Media's equivalent of Rupert Murdoch and Barry Diller to shake things up for The CW (by flipping a few Nexstar-owned MyNetworkTV and independent stations to The CW), similar to the way those two guys did for Fox, by flipping various legacy NBC, CBS and ABC affiliates in the mid-1990s, if at all, if not, I can only dream...
