| − | The '''United Paramount Network''' (shortened to '''UPN''') was an American broadcasting television network created in joint venture between Paramount and Chris-Craft Television and would later come under ownership of the CBS Corporation. It premiered on January 16, 1995 with the premier of ''Star Trek: Voyager'' and would gather over 21.3 million viewers. No UPN program would ever have that large of a premier after that.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVwcD66KUSY] The network featured programming that would mostly aim towards young black audiences. This included ''Moesha'', ''The Parkers'', and ''Girlfriends''. Shows from [[the WB]] such as ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' and ''Roswell'' would later move to the network. It closed down, along with the WB, in 2006 to form [[the CW]] (a joint venture between CBS and Warner Bros).[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UPN] | + | The '''United Paramount Network''' (shortened to '''UPN''') was an American broadcasting television network created in joint venture between Paramount and Chris-Craft Television and would later come under ownership of the CBS Corporation.

| − | Like most broadcasting networks at the time, UPN included programming aimed at children that aired on the weekends. But unlike the other five networks, UPN aired its children's programming on Sunday mornings as opposed to Saturday mornings. The first programming block was ''UPN Kids'' which would later be replaced with ''Disney's One Too'' (an extension of ''Disney's One Saturday Morning'' on ABC) in 1999.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UPN_Kids]. | + | Like most broadcasting networks at the time, UPN included programming aimed at children that aired on the weekends.
