The WB

The WB Television Network (commonly shortened to The WB and short for Warner Bros.) is a defunct American television network that was first launched on broadcast television on January 11, 1995, as a joint venture between the Warner Bros. Entertainment division of Time Warner and the Tribune Broadcasting subsidiary of the Tribune Company, with the former acting as controlling partner. The network principally aired programs targeting teenagers and young adults between the ages of 13 and 34, with the exception of its weekday daytime and Saturday morning program block, Kids' WB, which was geared toward children ages 7 to 12.

On January 24, 2006, CBS Corporation and Warner Bros. Entertainment announced plans to shut down the network and launch The CW later that same year. The WB Television Network shut down on September 17, 2006, with select programs from both it and competitor UPN (which had shut down two days earlier) moving to The CW when it launched the following day, September 18.

Time Warner re-used The WB brand for an online network that launched on April 28, 2008, over 19 months after The WB ceased broadcasting operations. Until it was discontinued in December 2013, the website allowed users to watch shows aired on the former television network, as well as original programming and shows formerly hosted on the now-defunct In2TV service (which itself was created prior to Time Warner's spinoff of AOL). The website could only be accessed within the United States.

AT&T has officially bought Time Warner, and agreed to revive the WB to replace the CW in 2019, and take full control of it after CBS and Viacom re-merged, which will cause the closure of the CW. AT&T would like to give the WB a completely new direction, not having to air much teen dramas anymore, as the channel will now go in the same direction as what the Fox network used to go to before Disney bought all of the channel's programming, but not the network due to anti-trust laws. However, the revival of the WB will not include a revival for UPN, also due to anti-trust laws, as it was illegal for both Paramount and Disney to own more than one major commercial broadcast channel. However, cable network TBS announced that that it will Instead replace The CW, as the FCC ordered Fox Corp. to sell MyNetworkTV to BBC.
