1 East Coast flagships are located in the New York City designated market area (DMA), while the West Coast flagships are located in the Los Angeles area. The CW's Philadelphia and San Francisco stations are considered as the network's flagship since they are directly owned by its parent ViacomCBS despite the presence of stations WPIX 11 in New York and KTLA 5 in Los Angeles, both of whom are holding CW affiliations in the latter two areas (since the network's inception) under the former Tribune Media ownership. As of 2021, KTLA is currently owned by Tribune's successor Nexstar Media Group; WPIX's license is owned by Nexstar's partner company Mission Broadcasting, with Nexstar operating the station under a local marketing agreement.
