History

Much like its competitor UPN, the WB was a reaction to the success of the upstart Fox Network and first-run syndicated programming during the late 1980s and early 1990s such as Baywatch, as well as the erosion in ratings suffered by independent television stations due to the growth of cable television and movie rentals. WB's first programs were mostly sitcoms targeted at an ethnicly diverse audience. Even though three of the inaugural four shows were renewed beyond the first year, none of them made a significant impact. The WB also added the "Kids' WB" programming block, which mixed Warners' biggest hit shows (Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs and later Batman: The Animated Series, all of which originated either on Fox, Fox Kids or in syndication) with new productions and original shows. UPN (which originally stood for the United Paramount Network) is a television network in the United States, owned by CBS Corporation, which also owns the more widespread CBS network. ...

The animated Batman shoots his grappling gun from a rooftop in a scene from the episode, On Leather Wings. ... The Fox Kids Logo circa. ...

A few years after its launch, The WB intentionally shifted its programming to capture what it perceived to be a heavily fragmented market by marketing to the under-courted teen demographic. While the Fox Network was intentionally targeting older audiences with shows such as Ally McBeal, The WB's breakout hits during the late 1990s centered around teen drama with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dawson's Creek in prime time. Just three years after their launch, they were ranked #1 among teenage audiences. Following the success of those shows, the network went on to produce the similarly positioned Felicity and Charmed.

Dawsons Creek was a popular American serial television drama aimed at teenagers, which aired in hour-long episodes from 1998 to 2003. ...

It is sold to TV markets below the number 100 in viewership as determined by Nielsen in a packaged format, with a master schedule and no local advertisements. When TV viewers or entertainment professionals in the United States mention ratings they are generally referring to Nielsen Ratings, a system developed by the New York City-based firm Nielsen Media Research to determine which shows television viewers watch at what times. ...

It was estimated in 2005 that the WB was viewable by 91.66% of all households, reaching 90,282,480 houses in the United States. The WB was carried by 177 VHF and UHF stations in the U.S., counting both owned-and-operated and affiliated stations (the owned and operated stations are not actually operated by Warner Bros. or Time Warner; instead, Tribune owns and operates these stations, thus its stake in the network). The WB can also be seen in smaller markets on cable-only stations. The WB Shield used from 2003 to present day Warner Bros. ... Time Warner Inc. ...

Outside of the aforementioned series, other large successes include Gilmore Girls, Smallville, and its only hit sitcom, Reba. Its most successful TV show to date is the religious family drama 7th Heaven, which is airing its tenth and final season during the 2005/2006 season. The network has suffered in the ratings of late after its peak in the 2001/2002 season as it struggles to launch and brand unique new series, something which it previously had no problem doing. 2003–2005 produced only one viable new series, One Tree Hill, and even that is a pale comparison to the ratings peaks of Dawson's Creek and the like. As a result, the network is shifting its focus from the female 18–24 demographic to the more broad 18–34 range. To this end, The WB has abandoned its trademark mascot, Michigan J. Frog, as the network's iconic emblem. WB Entertainment President David Janollari explained in July at the network's summer 2005 press tour, that the animated character "perpetuated the young-teen feel of the network, and that is not the image we want to put to our audience." During the 2004/2005 season, The WB finished behind rival UPN for the first time in several years, and fell even further behind the network in the fall of 2005.

Children's programming

The WB added the Kids' WB! programming block, following its launch, which mixed Warners' biggest hit shows (Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs and later Batman: The Animated Series, all of which originated either on Fox, Fox Kids or in syndication) with new productions and original shows. The correct title for the article is Kids WB!. However, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and an exclamation point would imply excitement, as was tried at one time. ...

After the Turner–Time Warner merger in 1996, Kids' WB! formed an alliance with Cartoon Network, and over time, they have shared more and more programming. Because of this, in January, 2006, the weekday afternoon block of Kids' WB! was replaced by Daytime WB, which is composed of the syndication of ER and 8 Simple Rules. The Kids' WB block expanded by one hour on Saturdays from 7a.m. to noon.

In September, 1998, The WB also launched the American version of Pokémon in the Kids' WB! blocks, which they acquired from syndication (TV Tokyo) earlier that year and became a widespread pop-culture phenomenon. WB also acquired the English-language version of the second series Yu-Gi-Oh!. It is sold to TV markets below the number 100 in viewership as determined by Nielsen in a packaged format, with a master schedule and no local advertisements.

Station Standardization

When The WB was launched during the mid-1990s, the network began having most of its stations branded as "WB" or "The WB", then the channel number, with the call signs nearby. The call signs were minimized to the smallest FCC-approved size by the end of the decade. This meant that, for example, WPIX in New York and KPLR in St. Louis were now both referred to as "WB11". Fox originated such naming schemes, and CBS uses the CBS Mandate on all of their O&O stations. NBC and ABC utilize similar, but less extreme, naming schemes. WPIX, channel 11, is a television station in New York City. ... Official language(s) None, English de facto Capital Largest city Albany New York City Area  Ranked 27th  - Total 54,520 sq mi  (141,205 km²)  - Width 285 miles (455 km)  - Length 330 miles (530 km)  - % water 13. ... KPLR-TV is the WB television network affiliate in St. ... Nickname: Gateway City, Gateway to the West, or Mound City Official website: http://stlouis. ...

While Fox and UPN mandate their respective naming schemes on all stations, The WB does not.

Thus, not all WB affiliates follow the naming scheme. WGN-TV in Chicago (on the local feed only as the superstation feed has not carried WB programming since 1999) uses the name "WGN 9 Chicago" in its ID with The WB's logo next to the boxed "9". Most of Tribune's WB affiliates only use the network logo in their station's logo or use "The WB" name after the calls. An example is Los Angeles affiliate KTLA, whose station ID is "KTLA, The WB". Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ... Chicago (officially named the City of Chicago) is the third largest city in the United States (after New York City and Los Angeles), with an official population of 2,896,016, as of the 2000 census. ... This article is about the largest city in California. ... This redirect page is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedias deletion policy. ...

Most WB affiliates also have another standardization name branding scheme: The City's WB. For example, KHCW (former KHWB) in Houston is called "Houston's WB," WATL in Atlanta is called "Atlanta's WB" and WDCW (former WBDC) in Washington, D.C. is called "Washington's WB." KHCW is the WB Television Network affiliate for Houston, Texas, broadcasting on UHF channel 39. ... WATL is a television station in metro Atlanta on channel 36 (DTV 25) with the following history: 1980: WATL became WATL-TV 1985: became WATL again 1987: began as a Fox Network station Fox 36 1994: became independent after WAGA (channel 5) became Fox 1995: Atlantas WB station WB...
