Following the announcement of the shutdown of UPN (whose programming would be merged with The WB to form The CW), all Fox-owned UPN stations, including WPWR-TV, dropped all UPN references from their on-air branding. WPWR changed its branding to "Power 50 Chicago" (in reference to the station callsign), and adopted a new logo.
2006–2016, 2019–2024[]
2016–2019[]
WPWR-TV affiliated with The CW on September 1, 2016, becoming the first Fox-owned station to broadcast The CW, but continued to air MyNetworkTV programming as well.
On September 1, 2019, WCIU-TV became the new affiliate of The CW for the Chicago area; after three years, WPWR-TV disaffiliated from the network.[1]
2024–present[]
On September 23, 2024, WPWR-TV quietly rebranded as "Fox Chicago Plus", bringing it in line with other Fox-owned MyNetworkTV stations that brand with '+' to complement their sister stations.
