A similar situation occurred in Boston 15 years later. WHDH (channel 7) – which replaced WBZ-TV as an NBC affiliate in 1995 through the CBS/Group W deal – lost its NBC affiliation on January 1, 2017, after owner Sunbeam Television's refusal to sell WHDH to NBC led the network to decline renewal of its affiliation agreement and create an owned-and-operated station from scratch; the parties' strained relationship traces to Sunbeam owner Ed Ansin's objections to NBC's 1987 purchase of WTVJ to replace WSVN (channel 7) as its Miami outlet (a move which led to WSVN assuming the Fox affiliation from CBS-acquired WCIX in January 1989), and conflicts surrounding WHDH's aborted 2009 plans to substitute short-lived prime time talk show strip "The Jay Leno Show" with a simulcast of the 10:00 p.m. newscast it produces for CW-affiliated sister station WLVI (channel 56) due to the uncertainty of "Leno"s potential effect on its 11:00 newscast's viewership, which proved to be correct and led to Jay Leno controversially re-taking "The Tonight Show" back from Conan O'Brien after just seven months. Through NBC's contracts with the NFL, WHDH served as the local broadcaster of the Foxborough-based New England Patriots from 1995 to 1997 (most Patriots games have aired since then on WBZ-TV, through CBS' 1998 acquisition of the AFC television contract), and carried occasional Patriots "Sunday Night Football" games from 2006 to 2016.
