The Downfall of UPN – and Viacom

https://www.connro.com/ For over a decade, the big 4 TV networks had a new competitor, launched by Paramount, called the United Paramount Network. After Fox showed the TV world that there was room for one more network, Paramount was determined to make their mark. However, if you check your channel guide today, the letters UPN are nowhere to be found. From passing on the biggest show in television and broadcasting a failed football league to the corporate mess at the very top of parent company Viacom that sealed UPN's fate, we explore all of the factors that led to the demise of the network that, at one point, seemed destined to change the television landscape. - - - 0:00 Intro 0:51 The CBS-Viacom Merger 8:02 The 1999-2000 TV Season 10:33 The Viacom Buyout & Rebranding 15:49 The 2000-2001 TV Season 17:33 The XFL 20:37 The 2001-2002 TV Season: The Buffy Shakeup and American Idol 25:14 Building Tensions at Viacom 29:44 The 2002-2003 TV Season 32:00 Mel Sticks Around 33:52 The 2003-2004 TV Season 35:54 Tom and Leslie 39:52 The 2004-2005 TV Season 40:43 The Split of Viacom 43:36 The 2005-2006 TV Season 45:09 The 2006 Realignment 50:29 Aftermath: The CW and MyNetwork 53:45 Conclusion 56:29 Epilogue - - - Feel free to recommend a topic that you'd like me to cover below!
