CBS is Disappearing From These Local TV Stations

Several Nexstar-owned stations, including those in Albuquerque, Jackson, Birmingham, and parts of South Carolina and North Dakota, are losing their CBS affiliation. Viewers will need to find the new local station carrying CBS programming.

For those using antennas, the switch means needing to ensure a strong signal for the new channel hosting CBS. Viewers may need to adjust their antennas or upgrade equipment if the new signal is weak.

Nexstar and other broadcasters are pushing back against 'reverse retransmission' fees. They argue that as networks move content to streaming services like Paramount+ and Hulu, the value of the network-local affiliation contract has decreased.

Beyond CBS, there are reports of potential ABC affiliation changes in the St. Louis market. Viewers are encouraged to follow reliable journalistic sources for updates on these shifting television landscapes.
