WYAH had two or three sister stations. The ones I know of were WXNE-TV Boston channel 25 which signed on in 1977. In 1986, Fox brought the station from CBN and renamed it WFXT. In 1989, Boston Celtics Comm. owned the station for a little while before giving it back to Fox. Just last year Fox sold 25 to Cox Media in exchange for their San Francisco station KTVU 2, making that station an O&O (owned/operated) along with KICU-TV 36 an independent outlet. WANX-TV Atlanta channel 46. Sometime in the 1980's WGN Continental Broadcasting (Tribune) bought that station renaming it WGNX-TV, a second fiddle independent to WTBS (WPCH) 17 which was in its Superstation years. When the big switch happened with CBS outlet WAGA 5 and New World/Gillette Broadcasting joining Fox, WAGA went from CBS to being a Fox-owned station. CBS then went to 46 which was renamed WGCL-TV.
+NEPatriot They alkso had KXTX Dallas on Channel 33 which was 6 hours a day and only Christian and a couple secular shows. Doubleday in 1973 donated Channel 39 including programming. Channel 33 went Spanish while KXTX and KDTV folded onto one station Channel 39 as KXTX with a conventional 20 hour a day independent with Christian shows 4 or 5 hours a day. Channel 39 evolved to ore of a drama type station by the mid 80's and was sold in 1989 and eventually became a News station owned by Channel 5's owners which eventually was sold to NBC and in 2002 KXTX took Telemundo programming. Channel 33 was sold in 1983 and became a Metromedia independent station and then Fox and then sold to Tribune with WB shows as an independent - today they are a CW station - All the CBN stations were secular indies throughout their ownership. Channel 46 was sold to Tribune in 1984 and renamed WGNX and eventually took CBS in 1994 and changed owners a few times and calls as well.
+EricEbac22 WYAH (Now WGNT) became a more traditional independent station in 1989, became a UPN affiliate in 1995, and now The CW since 2006, and since 2010, is also now a sister station to CBS affiliate WTKR.
+EricEbac22 WYAH TV 27 was only Christian shows until 1967 and on the air a few hours a day from 6 PM to 11 PM. In 1967 they began adding a few low budget secular shows - By 1970 the station was on the air 8 hours a day with a couple hours of secular shows like Beaver and Fury and Flipper. In the Fall of 1972 the station quickly evolved to a conventional independent station and by the fall of 1973 the station was on the air daily 630 AM to 2 AM and had only 4 hours a day of Christian shows. They had shows like The Flintstones and Brady Bunch and Hazel and I Love Lucy and Little Rascals and westerns and cartoons. The only day they were only Christian was Sundays until 1980 when they added a few hours a day of movies and cartoons Sunday afternoons. So By 1973 the station was a regular independent

Did WYAH become an affiliate of another network (WB, UPN, CW, My Network TV, Fox, so forth), or are they still a Christian-themed independent station?
