[QUOTE="GrayLinnorm, post: 3068984, member: 31666"] I feel your pain. Channel 43 in Syracuse started out as a UPN affiliate, but switched to the WB in 2001 (Ironically, at the same time Buffy the Vampire Slayer switched to UPN. My sister, who was looking forward to seeing Buffy, wasn't happy about this). So we don't get UPN. There is supposed to be a UPN affiliate in Syracuse, but for some reason we don't get it. We don't even get it through DirecTV! We didn't get Channel 43 when it first came on, but it increased its power before the end of its first year. So the brain trusts decided to make the UPN affiliate in our area, while Channel 43 is stuck with my network! A person with average intelligence would have realized it would make more sense to put their network on the channel people actually. Of course, network programming executives don't have average intelligence (How else do you explain MTV putting more increasingly stupid crap on when people have been complaining for the last decade that MTV doesn't play enough videos?) Do they want The CW to fail? [/QUOTE]
