The WB didn't pick up Global Frequency, so I killed it. With my mind.
i'm still distraught that GF didn't get picked up.
This really hoses one of the stations in most of the large markets, doesn't it?
yeah that's what i was thinking too, DX. we have both UPN and the WB here in nashville, but i'm pretty sure memphis still doesn't have a WB station. so it will be good for them.
It definitely had a pre-hiatus vibe to it.
It nearly had a pre-permanent hiatus vibe to it. I mean, Buffy thinks so. Me, I kinda liked it despite the problems. *cough*

Hee! I saw someone on Whedonesque mention that canning Angel was the fatal mistake.
They announced here today that the UPN station would be the new station and that the current WB station is losing their programming. They put a positive spin on it saying they could be more devoted to local programming. Yeah right.
The thing is, a lot of those stations were viable independents before the WB and UPN came along. It'll be interesting to see if they can go back.
I was just wondering that, DX. I know that was the case in Boston, with WLVI 56 (WB) and WSBK 38 (UPN). They've been around for as long as I can remember.

We had those up in Maine as basic+ cable channels. It always made more sense with 38, because they had the Sox (and I think at various times the Bruins and Celtics). Plus the Movie Loft.
I loved 56 because of all day cartoons and Creature (at times Double) Feature, but in retrospect, it must have been the lack of other options in Maine and nothing intrinsic to the station.
I thought even Creature Double Feature was on 38. All I remember on 56 is cartoons (including The Banana Splitz Show) and Dale Dorman voice overs. I think that's also the station that reran
Batman,
and maybe things like
The Partridge Family,
and
The Brady Bunch.
I think they ran a lot of movies at night, but so did 38, when they weren't airing sports.
I thought even Creature Double Feature was on 38.
I swear it was Saturday afternoon on 56.
I think you're right, Frank. I think I just misremembered. What's sad is I don't think this is the first time I've either made this mistake or had this conversation at b.org, and probably within the last six months.

Well, I started wondering if maybe it originated on one of the stations and later moved to the other, but I decided it was just the monkey crack talking.
