WWOR no more Voyager?

[bkwest]

Ok I switch to dish so I can get Voyager but it seems WWOR isn't going to be showing voyager anymore? Whats up with that?

Isn't it on WSBK?

Yeah I noticed last night they changed their schedule and it is no longer on at midnight EST. Very disappointing.

DS9 was dropped by the other superstation (235) a month ago, they must have changed the syndication rules for the Startrek series.

lucky for me on of my locals has Voyager on every night at 7PM.

Is WWOR not going to be UPN anymore? I thought Paramount outright owned the ST rebroadcast rights.

[Mark Holtz]

Deep Space Nine and Voyager are both "strip syndication" series now, and some stations will have the rights to the series, but not air them. Channel 40 in Sacramento, for instance, began running Deep Space Nine at 4 PM in June.

of course, they both COULD land on TNN with that wonderful little black bar at the bottom of the screen....

[TNGTony]

Actually both Voyager and DS9 are on their way to TNN. DS9 I think in 2004 and Voyaer in 2006.

See ya

wish i had that vomiting smiley to express my opinion of that....

WWOR is UPN but it is not owned by Viacom or Paramount.

[cnsf]

WWOR is still a UPN affiliate, yes? So, why would they lose Enterprise broadcast rights unless Paramount gave up the series rights? Are the ratings that bad they're willing to pawn it off?

[jrjcd]

they're not losing enterprise-they are apparently losing voyager(small loss there tho...lol)

[Geronimo]

exactly Voyger is no longer on UPN. The rights to rerunit can go to another ststion. WWOR shows current uPN programs.


you are mixing up being a UPN affiliate and being owned by UPM's parent company.

WFMZ a station in Allentown,PA carries both DS9 and Voyager. Its on 129W.L. and Dish might keep this indy FTA but the right receiver is needed. TNN has exclusive rights for The Next Generation as of now.

WFMZ, WPHL and many local stations lost 7th Heaven reruns. ABC Family acquired the rights for this show, and the reruns currently no longer seen 5 days a week on any local stations.

PS: You can thank these cable networks owned by media giants for acquiring rights for these shows, then decreasing broadcast viewership to lower and lower levels while cable market share grows, and then these cable channels have "increased programming costs" and need more money every year. And then there is Congress's mandate to broadcasters turn over analog channels leaving many having no access to clear digital signals, so free TV dies. Cable/satellite providers have to pass down programming costs to its subscribers and want a nice margin to keep to themselves.

Mea culpa. I thought this was an Enterprise issue, not Voyager. No big loss....
