WDIV served at least two very important purposes. For one thing, it was the representative NBC affiliate for about a couple million cable TV and satellite-dish customers across Canada. When they watched "Nightly News", "Today" or Tigers baseball it was by way of WDIV. Second, NBC News counted on their more than 200 affiliates for news footage of stories from locales other than New York, Washington, Los Angeles or Chicago. It's part of being associated with a broadcast network.
Yeah, only because NBC jacked some "tape" from that joke of a station formerly known as WDIV. Do you really fucking expect NBC to rhyme off every fucking affiliate at the end of the news? Do you honestly think viewers give a shit if the little NBC station in Buttfuck Montana gets its name on the credits? Yeah fucking right.
