So NBC can pocket everything whole.

Remember, NBC is paying Channel 7 a hefty affiliation fee,
since the fear was Fox could scoop up Channel 7 back when WBZ
dropped the affiliation way back when (has it been almost 12
years already?).

Ten years ago, NBC likely wouldn't even fathom buying Channel
56. In today's cable universe, channel position is much less
relevant.
