UPN Promo for the 2nd Episode of the short lived series The Watcher “Resurrection” to air on UPN January 24,1995 but will air on a special night Wednesday January 25,1995 on UPN 28. This promo aired between commercial breaks during the airing of the 1st and 2nd Episode/Two Hour Series Premiere of the 1st Season of Star Trek:Voyager “Caretaker” which aired January 16,1995 on then UPN Affiliate WSBK 38 in Boston,Massachusetts. WSBK would revert back to an independent station on September 16,2006 which lasted until September 19,2011 when it took the MyNetworkTV affiliation which lasted until September 19,2022 when it reverted back to an independent station for the second time which it currently is an independent station. Shoutout to TVARCHIVES for this footage since it came from a commercial break on UPN’s first night January 16,1995 on WSBK UPN 38.
#UPN27thAnniversary
*PS During the first six months of UPN, WSBK used the TV 38 branding they used since 1977, it was also the same time that New World Communications (which made a deal with FOX Broadcasting in May 1994 to have its stations end their affiliations with ABC,CBS or NBC and switch to FOX) sold WSBK to Paramount Stations Group. In June 1995 WSBK rebranded as UPN 38, the following year WSBK became a UPN Owned and Operated Station shortly after Viacom acquired a 50% ownership stake in UPN. Like many stations with the UPN Affiliation, WSBK was still a de-facto independent station airing movies and shows on first run syndication as well as off network syndication on nights where UPN didn’t offer any Primetime Programming.
