Breaking news being reported by the Radio and TV Business Report: seven Nexstar CBS affiliates are about to lose their affiliation deals with the network, and moving to digital subchannels. Four of the stations are owned by Hearst, and are located in Albuquerque, Jackson, Birmingham and the Greenville-Spartanburg-Asheville market, where Hearst already has ABC and CBS affiliates. The other three, located in the Dakotas, are owned by Forum Communications Company, and are being placed on a subchannel of the ABC affiliates in Minot and Bismarck, and its NBC affiliate in Rapid City. The changes are effective next week, on August 1. > **[A Group Of CBS Affiliates Gear Up For Network Relocation | Radio & Television...](https://rbr.com/a-group-of-cbs-affiliates-gear-up-for-network-relocation/)** > > It was the subject of industry rumors that began on Friday.
