to stations carrying a full hour of the program. It would then flip the two airings so the exclusive strip was shown in the shared time slot, meaning CJNT could no longer simsub the program since WFFF-TV was not airing the same episode. WFFF-DT2 WFFF-DT2 is the Ion Mystery–affiliated second digital subchannel of WFFF-TV, broadcasting in standard definition on channel 44.2. The subchannel was formerly a CW-affiliated and later independent station. On cable, the subchannel is available on Charter channel 11 (digital channel 266 on former Time Warner Cable systems) and Comcast channel 20. During its time as a CW affiliate, WFFF-DT2 carried the branding The CW Burlington, it changed it to 44.2 EFFF when it became independent. Syndicated programming on WFFF-DT2 included Family Feud, Cops, America's Funniest Home Videos, and Friends among others. There was no website for this station besides a link to program listings on its parent station's website. The station temporarily ceased programming after September 30, 2013, and was replaced over the air by a standard definition feed of its parent station a few days later. It resumed operations on August 23, 2016, as an affiliate of Escape (which is now known as Court TV Mystery). History On January 24, 2006, The WB and UPN announced the two networks would cease broadcasting and merge. The new combined service would be called The CW. The letters would represent the first initials of corporate parents CBS (the parent company of UPN) and the Warner Bros. unit of Time Warner. Until The CW's launch on September 18, it was unknown if there would be an affiliate in Burlington and Plattsburgh. Just before the launch date, it was announced The CW would air on WFFF-TV on a delayed basis at 10 p.m. as did programming from The WB. Before it was officially confirmed it would be a secondary CW affiliate, there was a possibility new television station WCWF (now WYCI) in Saranac Lake, New York would become affiliated with the network. As was the case with the previous network, The CW would also be available on cable the area through affiliate WPIX from New York City. It was unlikely Class A UPN affiliate WGMU-CA would have been affiliated with The CW, since network officials were on record as preferring the "stronger" WB and UPN affiliates and, despite secondary status, WFFF-TV was by far the stronger station with its full-powered signal.
