@gatorman295 Through mid-1989. CBS had not bought WCIX but the station was airing CBS programs and calling itself The New Channel 6. They had switched to the Palmer News Package but had their old set and a temporary-style news open.

WCIX carried on the tradition of WTVJ using popular songs for promos

Fox only programmed on Sunday and Thursday nights, plus the ill-fated "Late Show" at 11pm weeknights (which went away at about this time).

So for all practical intents and purposes, WCIX was still an independent station prior to CBS, and WSVN became an independent station after losing NBC... and gradually became a Fox affiliate.

WCIX isn't exactly defunct, they're now on 4 as WFOR.

Back at that time, FOX stations were for the most part stil considered Ind. stations. They were usually ID'd in TV listings as IND/FOX. Yes they were FOX for a short period, but was referring to the comedy block that WCIX had when it became CBS

Actually by the time WCIX went CBS, it was

a Fox Affiliate.

Not only that, they still had their logo from when they were an independent/Fox affiliate.
