It's amazing how many changes this channel went through these last twenty odd years, from UPN, to The WB, and the CW.

The WB rocked. I was never a UPN fan.

UPN was a separate network (Paramount).* I didn't watch a whole lot on it, maybe a few cartoons (Jumanji), and Dilbert. I never really watched Moesha, Eve, or The Parkers or anything like that.
*That being said, The CW was the successor to both networks, TIL.
The WB was a pretty strong brand in its day. Kids WB cartoons (Animaniacs, Pinky & The Brain, Freakazoid, Batman, Superman). Black sitcoms (Steve Harvey, Wayans Brothers). Aaron Spelling white teen soap dramas. 7th Heaven. Smallville. Reba.
The CW was a bigger brand than either UPN or its ill-fated successor, MyNetworkTV, which was like the Sega Dreamcast of fifth networks. I barely remember any of their shows, but I do know they had one with Tatum O'Neal.
The CW has been the home of DC dramas and Riverdale, but I mostly watch Whose Line Is It Anyway? and some of those magic shows.

Nah, I meant to just mention about the network itself, not any affiliates.

I only ever watched two things on UPN and that was
-America's Next Top Model
-Star Trek Voyager
Other than that it was a sheesh station.

I don't know about that? MyTV Buffalo has some pretty good stuff on it. Of course they moved the first showing of Schitt's Creek from 11:00 PM to 2:00 AM and for me that means staying up an extra 3 hours to see it. 8-P

I would expect all sorts of media deals to be in the works these days. Huge ones.
Mainly due to viewing patterns changed by the whole pandemic thing.
