The United Paramount Network (1995-2006). Initially owned by boat company Chris-Craft (through subsidiary United Television, hence the "United" in "United Paramount Network"), [[Viacom]] (whose [[Paramount]] Pictures is part of the namesake) bought one-half of the network in 1996, and bought CC's share in 2000. CC's UPN stations were sold to Fox the next year; they later became the nucleus of [[My Network TV]]. During UPN's last nine months of operation it was owned by CBS Corporation (the new name for the original incarnation of Viacom). In September 2006, it merged with [[The WB]] to form [[The CW]], which is owned half by [[CBS]] and half by Warner Bros. |
