CW Affiliation changes in Norfolk and other cities

The new CW subchannels for Norfolk, Utica, Wichita Falls, Santa Barbara and Terre Haute weren't in test mode as of Wednesday.

D* already knows about the changes. Looking at the app's API, the labels for the ex-CW affiliates changed to "IND", and they changed to "CW" for the new affiliates, while the ex-CW subchannels were dropped:
Chicago:
WGN/9: IND -> CW
WCIU/26: CW -> IND

Corpus Christi:
KRIS-D2/14: CW -> No longer listed at all
KSCC-D2/21: MNT -> CW/MNT

Detroit:
WMYD/20: CW -> IND
WKBD/50: IND -> CW

Miami:
WBFS/33: IND -> CW
WSFL/39: CW -> IND

Norfolk:
WGNTHD/27: CW -> IND

Santa Barbara:
KSBY-D2/7: CW -> No longer listed at all

Tucson:
KTTU/18: MNT -> CW
KWBA/58: CW -> IND

Utica:
WKTV-D3/3: CW -> No longer listed at all

Wichita Falls:
KAUZ-D2/5: CW -> No longer listed at all


It's also not a coincidence that all of these ex-CW stations weren't included in the CW stations that were added to DTV Stream over the past year, while a stream for Tegna's KTTU started testing last week.

EDIT: We did a new grab this afternoon, still no sign of the replacement affiliates for Norfolk, Utica, Santa Barbara, Wichita Falls or Terre Haute.

I don't much either but I know some college football and WWE is on CW and I think nascar next year
 
Even if DIRECTV adds it, you'll probably want to use an antenna anyway. Most of the CW and MyNet subchannels are only carried in SD.
 
Called just now but they say I'm not eligible. I told rep cw station gone but
System won't let rep process the order

I called um... 8003785023 (pin 2023)

Should I try retention?

I would try calling again, maybe a few times ...

I know the AM21's went Way up in price awhile back.
