List of Stations
This was a list of WB 100+ stations, ranked by DMA, as of the closure of the WB. Note that most "call letters" below are informal, as these stations did not broadcast over the air and so were not licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC); the meanings of each affiliate's "call sign" are also included. There were a few exceptions — actual FCC-licensed broadcast stations are indicated in italics. Some of the "fake" calls used by the cable-only WB affiliates (which are identified with quotation marks) may be the same as calls used by actual over-the-air stations, and may create confusion for some; such stations are identified in this list.
After each station's name is the status of the CW affiliation, as of March 2012. If no status is part of the station's listing, The CW does not have a confirmed affiliate in the market the WB 100+ station served. The rankings of each market are as of the 2005-06 season.
