Ted Kohl, WBAY general manager, said Wednesday he doubts CBS Inc. wants to own a station in a market the size of Green Bay, 66th in the nation. "We not on believe that they don't really want to have one, but that it was never their intention to buy WFRV," Kohl said. Tuesday, CBS announced plans to buy Midwest Communications Inc.

At a press conference Wednesday at WFRV, Peter Lund, executive vice president CBSBroadcast Group, said CBS has no plans to turn around and sell WFRV.

Closing is four to six months away, Lund said. The CBS affiliation contract with WBAY runs through Julv 1992, Kohl said. Should CBS own WFRV at that time, WBAY would not fight an affiliation switch, he said. WBAY has had no discussions with the ABC or NBC networks about changing affiliation. Kohl said.

"Absolutely none." he said. "There's very little else to do right now except take a wait-and-see attitude," he said. "The real question will be. do they or do they not own it next summer? If they do own it, then absolutely, the affiliation will change. If they don't own it, then the affiliation will stay here.
