This is a step down for UPN. WB was created by the devil.

I just heard about this on the WGN news. Quite interesting, but one of the anchors posed an interesting question; what happens to the programming on regional affiliates?

I'm betting the UPN station stays a syndicated network and goes back to what it was in the '80's. They'll probably fill up programming with movies and probably syndicated comedies that normally run pre-primetime.

A few years ago I was watching Jay Leno and this was a joke he made - "Scientists have just found out that many many years ago, the sky was all black with no stars.......kinda like the WB network"

Can't wait till they merge the casts of Girlfriends and Smallville and call it Smallfriends!

Will Kristen Kruek be practicing on bugging her eyes out, working her neck and shaking her finger while saying, "Oh no you didn't" ?

No you wouldn't. Other than their game broadcast, everything else gets pretty boring, fast.

they show like the same 10 games on Yankees Classics all the time. You would think would be able to give us something different.

Plus, they have 5 hours of Mike and the Mad Dog every weekday....which just ruins everything.

This thread title reminds me of an old Robin Williams joke about small-chested women. Put the two of them together to make one good one.
