So will UPN become the new CW?
Wow - Somebody doesn't know how to read. The WB and UPN Networks are merging.
Unless of course by "UPN" You are referring to local UPN affiliate KASN.
Duh!!
Well, it's not set in stone that KASN will get the CW, but this certainly makes it look that way. I hope so, if just to finally have Smallville in HD. My Network TV's schedule of recycled Mexican soap operas is perfect for KWBF's low powered, bad level setting, non-HD station. Let the pros at Clear Channel get the better (than MyTV anyway) programming.
That is great news, since the CW will get a REAL affilate in KASN, plus full powered HD. Finally, no more watching "party poker dot com" ads on local spots during your favorite WB programming!!!
Course when (insert callsign here) ch 42 goes digital, they could always mulitcast univision, and MyTVNet.
Goodness, there is a great deal of effective info above!
