| | A tale of two networks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | Today, a decade after the rules were rescinded, the most vibrant symbols of the post-fin-syn era are the studio-backed broadcast networks UPN and the WB Network, both of which are set to mark their 10th on-air anniversaries this month. |
 | | UPN and the WB were born at a turbulent time for the network television business, and it wasn't only because of the sea change from the end of fin-syn. |
 | | The battle between UPN and WB during their formative years was fought hardest in places like Buffalo, N.Y., Charlotte, N.C., Oklahoma City and Nashville, where there was often bruising competition between the two studios to sign up the strongest stations as their affiliates. |
