According to an article that was posted on TVWeek.com, two companies remain in the bidding war to air Smackdown once the show ends its run on the CW Network in september. The article states that MyNetworkTV & Tribune Broadcasting remain bidders for the series.

MyNetworkTV is made up primarily of UPN stations that were not rolled into the CW network when UPN & the WB merged. If Tribune Broadcasting would win the bid, Smackdown would most likely be aired on Superstation WGN. Tribune could also put the show in syndication, although the company recently moved to shut down its syndication business.
