UPDATE WDWO-CD 18 Detroit was just sold (back) to TCT Network from hedge fund Locus Point for $2 million. TCT sold the low power station to Locus Point for $4 million in 2013 which means Locus Point lost $2 million on the deal; they lost in the reverse auction.
This should signal that WNYB-26 should remain on the air in Buffalo whether it remains on channel 26 or VHF.
