UPN

on October 27, 1993, Viacom and Chris-Craft Industries announced that they would form a new TV network which would be coowned by , while most of the programming would be made by Paramount Television. the network was gonna be called just "U", but the trademark was held by the National Associatoin of College Broadcasters. offers were made, but later the network was set to be titled the U/P Network, before deciding on UPN. U standing for United Television, P standing for Paramount Television, N standing for.... Network. UPN launched January 16, 1995. on December 8, 1996 Viacom purchased a 50% stake in the company. on February 5 1999, Viacom applied a contract clause that would pretty much guarantee them owning UPN. on March 20, 1999, Chris-Craft Industries allowed Viacom to buy out the next 50% stake for $5000000, giving them full control of UPN. shortly afterward, they changed the United Paramount Network name to just UPN. (there was also a proposal to change the name to Paramount Network, but due to protests from many affiliates, this never happened.) On June 14, 2005 Viacom announced that it would split into two companies due to declining stock. The two companies were CBS Corporation (new name for Viacom), and "Viacom", which was controlled by the old Viacom's original owner, National Amusements (which was controlled by Sumner Redstone). on January 1, 2006 CBS Corporation kept UPN. on January 24, 2006 Time Warner, the owner of CBS Corporation announced that UPN and The WB would shut down and launch a joint network later that year. on September 15, 2006, UPN shut down.
