Yeah, I agree! When WJXT Channel 4 in Jacksonville, FL lost its CBS affiliation in 2002, that station's news team was worried if it would lose viewers! But once it became an independent station carrying more local news than ever, WJXT became bigger and better than ever!
*SPOILER ALERT:* Sunbeam Television will merge with Fox Corporation to form Fox-Sunbeam Corporation (of course FoxCorp will be the survivng entity). And with that, Fox will move its affiliation from 'Boston 25' WFXT to WHDH Channel 7.
WGN just dropped The CW to go independent. However they have MLB, NBA, and NHL coverage rights so they have no threat of being dropped by cable or satellite. Channel 7 is in trouble unless they find local sports rights or get better syndicated programming. They have Family Feud which is #1 but that alone will not be enough.
KRON is the station in California(San Francisco). WJXT in Jacksonville, Florida would of been a better example of a News Intensive Indy.

Ansin already went through this in South Florida with WSVN, with NBC buying WTVJ and Fox programming moving to WSVN
Thank you to Ed Hansin for standing up to the media monopoly.

Oh, yeah! WGN went back to independent too in 2016!
And that's why WHDH was out, and NBC Boston was in!
