television network in the
United States launched during the 2006 television season. It features a mixture of programming from both
UPN and
The WB television networks, which ceased independent operations on

CBS Corporation, owner of UPN, and
Warner Bros. Entertainment, a subsidiary of
Time Warner, majority owner of The WB. Its name derives from the first letter of the names of these two corporations (CBS and Warner Bros.).
