327.0. "New Networks (UPN, WB)" by WMOIS::LYONS_S () Sat Jan 07 1995 05:03

    
    I'm not sure if I actually should have started a new note on this
    subject or if I should have included it in the CBS/NBC topic, so
    Moderator, please feel free to move if you deem fit.
    
    
    
    Is anyone confused as I am over the new networks that are supposed to
    be starting soon.  And actually, are they networks or considered
    something else.  For instance, I have seen ads for the new Star Trek
    spin-off Voyager on TV38 but yet the show is being advertised as going
    to air on UPN (United Paramount Network) or something like that.  I
    have also seen advertisements on one station about a WB (Warner
    Brothers) network, is this true?
    
    This on top of the CBS/NBC, 7/4 swap is going to take time to get use
    to.

	The success of the Fox network has apparently encouraged Paramount and Werner to try their own networks. Paramount is going ahead and is lining up affiliates. In the Boston area it will be TV38. They were formerly independent except for their participation in the TV38 Red Sox network which really behaved more like syndication than a network. George

	UPN and WB TV are new networks, spouting new shows and line-ups. In Los Angeles UPN is channel 13, WB is channel 5. At least they are this week. But from the sound of some previous notes, they may change things on me!!!!!! Whoooo! MJ
