Last Saturday's Buffalo News had an article by Alan Pergamet, the news TV critic, with information from Dominic Mancuso, WIVB's general manager. WIVB will not be going off the air. They plan to share the RF channel with WNLO, Ch23. This change will occur late this year or early 2018. It was not said which tower they will use, Grand Island (23) or Colden (4) but it was Ch4's frequency that was sold. They hope to keep Bounce (23.2) as well but did not commit.
