WHBF-TV
On June 3, 2016, Nexstar announced that it would retain ownership of WHBF and fellow CBS-affiliated sister station WFRV-TV in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and—on Media General's behalf—sell KWQC and its ABC-affiliated sister station in Green Bay, WBAY-TV, to Gray Television for $270 million. The transaction was approved by the FCC on January 11, 2017; the sale was completed on January 17, at which point the existing Nexstar stations and the former Media General outlets that neither group had to sell in order to rectify ownership conflicts in certain markets became part of the renamed Nexstar Media Group.
WLKY
WLKY, along with WTVF in Nashville, Tennessee, were the "de facto" CBS affiliates for the small Bowling Green market, as that area did not have a CBS affiliate of its own until NBC affiliate WNKY signed on WNKY-DT2 to serve as a CBS affiliate on February 1, 2007. Even with WNKY-DT2 carrying CBS, WLKY remains available on some cable systems in the eastern half of the Bowling Green market. WLKY remains available for Mediacom's customers in Hart and Metcalfe counties, while Mediacom's customers in Butler and Edmonson counties has long been served with Nashville's WTVF. Both WLKY and WTVF (as well as their digital subchannels) remain available in Glasgow (Barren County, Kentucky) via the cable system of the South Central Rural Telephone Cooperative, but the Glasgow Electric Plant Board dropped WLKY in favor of WNKY-DT2, with WTVF remaining intact.
