I think that may have just been a typo, or an overzealous Californian writing the annual report. WNYW's own site lists them as Fox's flagship, as do dozens of other sites. There has long been the concept of ""West Coast flagships"", though, which are generally (if not entirely) the LA stations. In any case, it may be sort of a moot issue. I mean, come on, we're talking about the WB and UPN here. They could pick a station in New Mexico as the ""CW flagship"" and it wouldn't really mean anything. They're all still operated as independent stations that just happen to carry a couple of hours of programming off the satellite in the prime time. What does it really mean to be the flagship of a real network, anyway, other than that it was either first on the air or located in the same place as corporate HQ, or both?  "
