MyNetworkTV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: The CW includes no Fox-owned stations; the New York, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, and Chicago affiliations all went to stations owned by The WB's co-owner, Tribune Broadcasting. In response to the announcement, Fox promptly scrubbed all UPN references from its UPN affiliates' logos and promotions and stopped promoting UPN programs.
ooh dramatic
Media reports speculated that the Fox-owned UPN affiliates would all revert to being independent stations, or else form another network by uniting with the other left-out UPN and The WB affiliates. Fox parent News Corp chose the latter course, and announced MyNetworkTV on February 22, less than a month after CBS and Warner Bros. announced The CW on January 24. News Corp may have chosen the name MyNetworkTV for synergistic means, as it also owns the popular networking website MySpace.com.
The CW Television Network - origins -
The WB and UPN both launched in January 1995 just as the Fox network had begun to secure a foothold in the American viewing lineup. Both launched to limited fanfare and generally poor results. In the eleven-and-a-half seasons since, despite a number of minor-hit or cult-hit series, neither network was able to attain the stature Fox had gained in its first decade, much less that of the longstanding Big Three of ABC, CBS, and NBC. Both networks were losing money, although The WB had been profitable a few seasons earlier. Reports indicated that the prospects for both networks were fading quickly. Nonetheless, the January 24, 2006 announcement that CBS and Warner Bros. would effectively combine the two networks' operations came as a surprise to most in the industry.
Like both UPN and The WB, The CW will air programming targeted to younger audiences. CBS and Warner Bros. hope that by combining their networks' schedules and station lineups, The CW will strengthen into a fifth "major" broadcast network.
The Fox-owned UPN affiliates were not included in the UPN/WB merger, which was announced on January 24, 2006. Soon after, these stations removed references to UPN from their on-air branding and websites. On February 22, 2006, Fox Television Stations announced that all of their non-Fox outlets will be charter affiliates of a new service known as MyNetworkTV [1]
FX (shorter for Fox Extended Networks) is the name of a number of related subscription TV channels owned by News Corporation's Fox Entertainment Group. The network's most popular shows are the Emmy-nominated trio of The Shield, Nip/Tuck, and Rescue Me.
