WKBD 50 Detroit just did the same thing. Now channel 20 is Independent.

"It’s the THIRD Chicago switch in less than a decade for The CW, which moved to WPWR-Channel 50 in 2016 and WCIU in 2019."

The CW has changed affiliations in Detroit three times in the past year - from WKBD to WADL a year ago, from WADL to WMYD a month later, and now back to WKBD.

The CW is also changing stations in Miami on September 1st, from Scripps-owned WSFL to CBS-owned independent WBFS.

Sure wouldn't know it by looking at the listings [Starweek].
