Ten O'Clock News to Stay on 56

This quote on the Boston TV News website indicates that Channel 56 (WLVI-TV) will keep its late newscast intact despite the fact that it is going to be the new CW station in Boston after yesterday's switcheroo.

A SENIOR WLVI SOURCE TELLS BTVN: "[This is] a great story for WLVI. We end up with a stronger network, stronger programming, a better news lead-in and one less competitor in town. I'm told the change won't mean anything as far as our news output goes... we will continue our one-hour Ten O'clock News [along with a new on-air look]."

Tribune is merely an affiliate of, and not a co-owner of, this new network. Though apparently they will be paying reverse compensation to The CW, I presume this is a better deal for them than sustaining continued losses of being an owner of The WB. One wonders what would have happened to Tribune's now-shuttered TV newsrooms in Philadelphia and San Diego if this had happened sooner.
