The CBS O&Os might be pressured by KW in the major markets first due to the corporate synergy, then it would trickle down to WOF/J!/Oprah/DrPhil incumbents

Ah, I see. I thought it was a suggestion that more often than not, Wheel/J!/Oprah run on the same station and are CBS O&O's.
Which may be, but not here.

It's my impression that the Wof/j/oprah link is not what it used to be....a lot of syndie shows (most notably oprah and phil) in the past few years started going to the highest bidder once contracts were up....Oprah and Phil have both moved around a lot of big markets in the past few years....we lost Phil once our deal ended with him...and got Joe Brown instead...yikes....
I don't think there are any mkts out there that don't have Wheel and Jep on diff stations...
