Some Montrealers will soon gain access to yet another network affiliate from Plattsburgh. WWBI-27 will be added to Videotron's digital cable line-up, thanks to a CRTC decision released June 10th. The decision was based on WWBI already having a strong enough over-the-air signal to reach some Montrealers and also in part to a similar decision in November 2001, allowing WNYO-49 (the WB) Buffalo on digital cable in parts of Ontario.

The wording of the CRTC decision (above) also refers to WWBI as a WB station. While this is actually an error on behalf of the CRTC, it just so happens, by sheer coincidence, that the owners of TV-27 have been trying to bring a full-power WB station to the area.
