[edit] History

Since its inception, WCVI had been affiliated with the UPN Television Network. At one point, the station also carried Urban America Television as a secondary network, but was discontinued when that network ceased operations on May 1, 2006. The station has since joined The CW Television Network following the shutdown of both UPN and The WB. The CW which is a 50/50 joint venture between CBS Corporation and Time Warner took to the air on September 18, 2006. Prior to 2000, UPN programming was seen via satellite from New York's WWOR.
