COMPLETE LIST OF CW PLUS AFFILIATES CARRYING CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING HOLLYWOOD STARTING THIS WEEKEND

All these stations ARE impressive, but.. No Boston, No Portland, Maine (Bangor, way at the top of the state of Maine), no Providence, Rhode Island, no Chicago, Boston and no Madison or Milwaukee, Wisconsin either(which the ones I listed as 'no' are major markets, so if this is going to carry the new NWA, you'd think you'd want to try and hit some major markets.
