UPN was launched January 16, 1995 as the United Paramount Network, a joint venture between two companies: Paramount Studios and Chris-Craft Industries' United Television group.
Although considered a major network by the Nielsen ratings, UPN is not (as of fall 2004) available in all areas of the United States.
UPN has a new policy of "not picking up other networks' scraps," which was a strong argument when fan pressure was generated in 2004 for them to pick up Angel, the spin-off of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

 United Paramount Network - Wikipédia
United Paramount Network (connu sous le nom commercial UPN) est un réseau de télévision hertzienne étasunien qui a diffusé ses premiers programmes le 16 janvier 1995 et qui fait partie (depuis janvier 2004) du groupe Viacom.
Tout comme The WB, UPN a été créé en réaction au succès du premier réseau à avoir remis en cause la suprématie des trois réseaux historiques (ABC, CBS et NBC) : Fox Network.
UPN a été créé par la fusion de deux réseaux (United Television du groupe Chris-Craft Industries Inc. et Paramount Television du groupe Viacom) dont les stations - détenues en propre et/ou affiliées - ont constitué la base du nouveau réseau.

 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Today, a decade after the rules were rescinded, the most vibrant symbols of the post-fin-syn era are the studio-backed broadcast networks UPN and the WB Network, both of which are set to mark their 10th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.

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.
Meanwhile, the Paramount Station Group had been formed, with the purchase of the TVX Group of stations, mostly in major markets, a move not unlike that of the purchase of the Metromedia Group by Fox several years previously.
UPN also bought the rights to broadcast the popular television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Roswell from 20th Century Fox after The WB cancelled both series.

Television network UPN on Monday said it would run a four-day exclusive screening of the premier of its new comedy "Everybody Hates Chris" on a streaming video site run by Google Inc. -- a first for each company.
UPN's faith in "Everybody Hates Chris" was rewarded Thursday when the coming-of-age saga created by Chris Rock produced the highest opening-night numbers for a comedy in UPN's 10-year history.
UPN's "Chris" opened the night for the network with an average of 7.6 million viewers and 3.2 rating/9 share, according to preliminary estimates from Nielsen Media Research.

 Los Angeles Business Journal: UPN and the WB revise strategies in fight to survive - United Paramount Network
UPN officials don't like to say they're going after older viewers, however, preferring to speak of targeting a "broad-based" audience.
Both UPN and Time Warner Inc.'s The WB got their start with a strong orientation toward African American audiences - a strategy stemming in part from the success of the Fox Network, where many UPN and WB executives got their start.
With UPN and WB moving ahead with their separate strategies, the future of these two networks comes into question, especially because both are losing tens of millions of dollars.

Watching the debut of a television broadcast network used to be a viewing experience nearly as rare as watching the return of Halley's comet.
But today, cable networks seem to blossom like strange new flowers _ or weeds _ and this month viewers are getting to see the birth of two new broadcast networks.
Last week's premiere of the WB (Warner Bros.) network raised the number of broadcast networks to five and this week the United Paramount Network becomes the sixth _ or seventh, if you count non-commercial PBS.

 Salhany, Lucie
Salhany resigned from FOX in July 1994 and became the president and chief executive officer of the nascent United Paramount Network (UPN) where she supervised the broadcast inauguration of the network in January 1995.
Salhany was recruited from Paramount by FOX Broadcasting CEO Barry Diller to manage Twentieth Television--the production and distribution arm of the network--at a time when the parent company was becoming a formidable competitor to the traditional big three networks.
However, the rapid growth of the network came to a halt during the 1993-94 season as the number of viewers declined and efforts to reach older viewers were not successful.

Between its debut in January of 1995 and last Friday, the United Paramount Network (UPN) had yet to reach the milestone that marks a broadcast network's maturation from conception to fetus: Grabbing the attention of its first viewer.
When UPN went on the air in the early months of 1995, hopes were high that many prime time viewers, their curiosity piqued by shows with such peculiar titles as "Moesha" and "Platypus Man", would tune in and see what the new network was up to.
UPN executives had assumed that the show would at least get a Native American viewer or two to tune in and see one of their own kind make it big on the small screen, but none did.

UPN operates the UPN Network, which offers advertiser-supported free, over-the-air programming to the public in many television markets throughout the United States.
In the United States today, there are four principal methods by which television programming is transmitted to the public.
The fourth model of transmission of television programming in the United States is through pay-per-view delivery, in which viewers obtain one-time access to particular programs (such as feature films, live boxing events and concerts) in return for payment of a fee for that access.
