Also, WB has integrated other subsidiaries into AOL:

Later on, WB merged with Tribune Company, causing the broadcast division to be renamed "Warner Tribune Broadcasting", the sale of several stations and the described changes above. Also, the acquisitions of WKCF and WVTV predated the Tribune merger.
