The fate of the CW in the Bakersfield market remained unknown until just days before The CW was scheduled to launch, when Clear Channel Communications (the owner of KGET at the time) obtained the rights to The CW Plus affiliation for the Bakersfield market on a new digital subchannel of KGET.
Newport Television continued to operate KGET through a shared services agreement.
