The move came as during the 1999 – 2000 season, The WB dropped to sixth place in the ratings behind UPN, losing 19 % of its household audience ; network executives attributed the ratings decline in large part due to WGN-TV's decision to remove WB network programming from its national superstation feed after deciding the network's national distribution was large enough that broadcasting its programming outside of Chicago was no longer necessary, reducing The WB's potential household audience by 10 million homes ; this expansion was due to a series of affiliation deals for the network with station groups such as Sinclair Broadcast Group in the years following The WB's launch, as well as the network launching The WB 100 + Station Group, a national cable-only service that debuted in September 1998 serving areas with a Nielsen market ranking of # 99 and above that did not have enough broadcast stations to support an over-the-air affiliate ( WGN-TV continued to carry WB programming over-the-air in the Chicago market and on cable providers in northeastern Illinois and far northwestern Indiana until the network shut down in 2006 ).
