===Stations refuse to air===
 
Ten stations carrying ''Queen of the Willis'' refused to carry the episode due to viewer complaints: [[NoSirGifts Fantasy Television Stations|NoSirGifts]]-owned [[wikipedia:American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] affiliates [[WXWI-FTV|WXWI]] in Milwaukee; [[WCOL-FTV|WCOL]] in Columbus, Ohio; [[WAKT-FTV|WAKT]] in Knoxville, Tennessee; [[WFXM-FTV|WFXM]] in Memphis, Tennessee; [[KSTX-FTV|KSTX]]/[[KLRX-FTV|KLRX]] in San Antonio/Laredo, Texas; [[WZVA-FTV|WZVA]] in Hampton Roads, Virginia; CBS O&O's in Green Bay, Las Vegas, and San Diego.
 
 
After WZVA, refused to air the episode, Fox affiliate [[WNNV-FTV|WNNV]] aired the episode at 4:00 a.m. on January 9, 2021 before that station's Saturday morning newscast. However, WNNV/WZVA recieved a number of threats, which required the duopoly to hire extra security. WNNV/WZVA then announced ''Queen of the Willis'' will not being renewed nor will it carry its spin-off, ''The Souzas''.
 
 
CBS Television Distribution and ''Queen of the Willis'' series creator, Ava Zinn, had said that she would personally consider moving ''Queen of the Willis'' and/or ''The Souzas'' to another market station as a last resort if existing affiliates did not offer a reasonable resolution. Aeverine Zinn Digital Meida Group and CBS responded to Zinn's threat with announcing that ''Queen of the Willis'' and/or ''The Souzas'' by dropping one or both shows from NoSirGifts-owned stations in five markets, with two of the replacement stations moving ''Queen of the Willis'' from an ABC affiliate to a CW affiliate airing ''The Souzas'' . In Wisconsin, two markets saw ''Queen of the Willis'' and/or ''The Souzas'' go from a Saturday late night airing to Saturday prime-time: in Milwaukee, ''Queen of the Willis'' moved from NoSirGifts-owned duopoly ABC/independent station WXWI/WZWI to United Broadcasting-owned CW affiliate WBWM-FTV (channel 42), while in Duluth, Minnesota/Superior, ''Queen of the Willis'' and ''The Souzas'' moved from NoSirGifts-owned Duluth NBC/independent station [[WXDS-FTV|WXDS]] (channel 10)/[[KAFZ-FTV|KAFZ]] (channel 33) to a CW-affiliiated subchannel of Anderson Broadcasting-owned CBS affiliate KDMN-FTV (channel 49). ''Queen of the Willis'' also moved from NoSirGifts-owned ABC/Fox duopoly WAKT/WXKT to Anderson Broadcasting-owned CW affiliate WNOX (channel 15, which swiched network affilliations with WXKT in 2015) and ABC O&O's in Seattle and Pittsburgh dropped ''Queen of the Willis'' to its respectve NoSirGifts-owned NBC affiliates in those markets [[KWSH-FTV|KWSH]] (channel 4) and [[WPTL-FTV|WPTL]] (channel 21).
 
 
With these moves, WBWM in Milwaukee, KDMN-FDT2 in Duluth and WNOX in Knoxville will begin airing ''Queen of the Willis'' Saturday nights at 8:00 p.m. Eastern/7:00 p.m. Central while WPTL in Pittsburgh will air ''Queen of the Willis'' after ''Saturday Night Live'' at 1:00 am and KWSH in Seattle airing ''Queen of the Willis'' after the conclusion of NBC primetime at 8:00 pm Pacific time (KWSH and KZCO air NBC primetime as it airs in the Eastern time zone).
