The first official UPN network programming was the series Star Trek: Voyager.

In its later years, as part of the network's desire to maintain its own unique identity with its own unique shows, UPN had a policy of " not picking up other networks ' scraps ", which was a strong argument when fan pressure was generated in 2004 for them to pick up Angel, the spin-off of Buffy the Vampire Slayer which had been dropped from The WB.

The station originally desired to affiliate with UPN and WB when those networks launched in 1995, but both networks affiliated with other stations instead ( WB with WTWB-TV ; UPN with WXLV-TV / WUPN-TV ).

The new network immediately signed 10-year affiliation deals with 16 WB stations owned by that network's part-owner, Tribune -- including stations in the coveted markets of New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago -- and 11 CBS-owned UPN stations.

Starting with the original six stations, Fox Television Stations gained the bulk of its group through two large transactions: the 1997 purchase of New World Communications, succeeding a 1993 business deal between the two companies which led to all of New World's stations switching from other networks to Fox during 1994-95 ; and the 2001 acquisition of the Chris-Craft / United group, which gave Fox ownership of several stations then affiliated with the UPN network, and also created several duopolies ( two stations in the same market owned by the same company ).

WTEV-TV – at that time owned by Clear Channel Communications and serving as the market's UPN affiliate – later signed an affiliation agreement with CBS two weeks after the announcement on April 23, 2002 to assume the affiliation for the Jacksonville market.

The shift made Jacksonville one of the only United States television markets with all six major broadcast networks at the time ( ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, UPN and The WB ) having affiliations with only five stations in a six-station market ( which remains the case with UPN and The WB's successors The CW and MyNetworkTV in the present day ), the only market in which each affiliate of the Big Four networks are controlled by two companies ( Gannett currently owns WTLV and ABC affiliate WJXX ; at the time, Clear Channel owned both WTEV and Fox affiliate WAWS, Newport Television presently operates the former and owns the latter station outright ), and one of the few markets where an analog-era VHF station has no network affiliation while the market's other commercial stations ( one VHF and five UHF ) do.
