DIRECTV today confirmed to Cord Cutters News that it has added six new The CW channels to its DIRECTV STREAM service. This comes as DIRECTV and Nexstar, the owner of The CW, reached a deal that is bringing more CW stations to DIRECTV services.
Now DIRECTV STREAM customers and DIRECTV customers will be able to watch The CW in four new markets:
Here are the six new The CW channels added to DIRECTV STREAM last month:
| San Diego, CA | KUSI (IND) | 12/5/23 |
| Greenville-Spartanburg, SC-Asheville, NC | WYCW (CW) | 12/5/23 |
| Oklahoma City, OK | KAUT (CW) | 12/5/23 |
| New Orleans, LA | WNOL (CW) | 12/12/23 |
| Buffalo, NY | WNLO (CW) | 12/12/23 |
| Mobile, AL-Pensacola, FL | WFNA (CW) | 12/12/23 |
These six The CW stations mark the latest additions as DIRECTV aims to bring more local stations to its streaming service subscribers. The company has been working to create more parity between its core satellite TV service and its DIRECTV STREAM offering. DIRECTV STREAM also recently added a total of seven CW affiliates back in November 2023.
Here’s a breakdown of the seven:
| DTV SERVIICE | NIELSEN DMA | STATION | AFFILIATION | LAUNCH |
| STREAM | Washington DC – Hagerstown, MD | WDVM | IND | 11/14/23 |
| STREAM | San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, CA | KRON | CW/MNT | 11/14/23 |
