    Ok. Apparently they aren't merging, per say, but are joining forces to create a 5th network, "The CW"

    So I guess The CW will take UPN's channels?

    Sorry for the misunderstanding

    Personally I'm looking forward to a "Girlfriends" "One Tree Hill" crossover episode.

    Here's how it breaks down:
    - The WB goes away in September
    - UPN goes away in September
    - CW starts in September

    Basically, the 2 networks are merging. Loss of programming and news is unknown at this time. This literally just dropped and no one seems to know anything!

    I don't watch either, so this isn't big. Network TV blows.

    I dont watch a single show on either of those channels.

    No surprise though that they are merging. Network TV is losing people these days and probably better if they merge to stay competitive.
