According to thedesk.net, WGN 9 will replace WCIU 26 as Chicago's CW station starting September 1, coinciding with the expiration of WCIU's deal with the CW Network. Coincidentally, Nexstar Media, WGB's corporate parent now owns a majority stake in the CW. It'll be the first time that CW programming has aired on Channel 9 since 2016.
As for WCIU, it's unclear if the Weigel-owned station will rebrand themselves as The U, which they were branded dating back to 1995.
Here is a link to CW's upcoming return to WGN 9 full time:
