UPN, or the United Paramount Network, was a television network in the United States that launched in 1995. It was created as a joint venture between Paramount Pictures and Chris-Craft Industries. UPN primarily focused on programming for younger audiences and featured a mix of original series, movies, and syndicated shows. The network gained popularity with hit series like Star Trek: Voyager and The Hughleys. However, UPN struggled with ratings and competition from other networks. In 2006, UPN merged with The WB to form The CW, which continues to operate today, offering a diverse range of programming.
