 | | Paramount Pictures (the "P" in UPN) has played an pivotal role in the development of network television; it was a partner in the DuMont Television Network, and the Paramount Theaters chain, spun off from the corporate/studio parent, was an early, important component of the ABC television network's survival in the 1950s. |
 | | Independent stations, even more than network affiliates, were feeling the growing pressure of audience erosion to cable television in the 1980s and 1990s, and there were unaffiliated commercial stations in most of the major markets, at least, even after the foundation of FOX in 1985. |
 | | Although considered a major network by the Nielsen ratings, UPN is not (as of fall 2004) available in all areas of the United States. |
