Scripps owns the local ION affiliate (used to be KXLI 41 back in the old days). That's who the Phoenix teams went with so I think it is very likely they end up on there.
As mentioned previously there is 45, which is basically an extension of KSTP 5 and that would also gain them a lot of coverage in outstate Minnesota. My 29 was also mentioned and that is now FOX 9+ so that is an option. The CW maybe but they've also been adding golf, college football, and are possibly going after an NBA package so i don't know that it is a good fit.
