On July 8, 2005, Belo announced its newest acquisition, WUPL-TV, the UPN affiliate in New Orleans from CBS/Viacom. The addition of WUPL creates a duopoly in New Orleans with Belo's market-leading CBS affiliate, WWL-TV, strengthening Belo's presence in the market. Belo currently has five duopoly operations in the United States. However, Belo postponed the deal after Hurricane Katrina affected the area, causing CBS Corporation to file a lawsuit against Belo in February 2006 for the failure to close the deal. The litigation has apparently been settled as Belo agreed to complete the purchase of WUPL.[1] The deal has already received regulatory approval.
