| Video Discription | -- Full disclosure: I made this video when I was 15 and had no clue what I was doing. This video is a bit of a mess and I am not proud of it. I especially think my characterizations of the network's conception and of its focus on Black audiences are lacking. Read more at https://www.connro.com/corrections -- After Fox shocked the nation by expanding the Big 3 to the Big 4, TV veteran Paramount perked up, took notice, and promptly got to work creating a network they hoped would see the same level of success as Fox, and would change the Big 4 to the Big 5. In 1995, UPN was launched to achieve just that. However, in spite of high hopes and enormous dollar signs, UPN was never able to escape a reputation of mediocrity, and after 11 years of little success, time was up and the plug was pulled on UPN. So how did a network that launched with big dreams and gigantic corporate backing fall by the wayside? The story is long, so grab a snack, sit back, and listen up as we explore the factors that led to UPN’s rise and eventual fall. The New York Times article I used briefly in the video with the headline “UPN Network Cancels 4 of Its 5 Programs” is really entitled “UPN Cancels 3 of Its 4 Programs”. However, the article was mistaken, and was even amended in a later issue to account for a series that was excluded from the original article. |
