During the last couple of weeks, UPN has been in discussion with Paramount Television and we have announced some changes that UPN will be having in their programming and their schedule.

UPN and Paramount Stations Group CEO D.D. Garcia released the following statement regarding the change in programming:

''I am very excited to announce, after many weeks in discussion with Paramount Television, our future plans for what you'll be expecting on UPN. ''

''First, we're excited to announce that UPN will be bringing back a couple of its original shows, which currently are being chosen as sequels. With the help of Paramount Television, we plan to replace many of our current primetime shows in which we believe are doing poorly. We've also announced the shows we plan to bring back with Paramount Television.'' ''As we continue to work with Paramount Television, these shows will be given a new name or kept the same. The names for the selected shows will be announced in a future update. ''
 * The Parkers
 * The Hughleys
 * I Dare You: The Ultimate Challenge
 * The Strip
 * Under One Roof
 * Moesha
 * The Sentinel
 * Get This Party Started
 * Girlfriends
 * Chains of Love
 * R U The Girl
 * The Random Years
 * Breaker High
 * Nowhere Man
 * Freedom
 * Platinum

''Our second announcement involves with our schedule change. It has come to our attention that primetime has been a major success for many other networks including our very own sister channel DBC. It has come to our conclusion that UPN will be active during primetime hours, a move similar to the Fox network. We plan to keep our morning show, but we encourage our affiliates to choose their daytime programming. ''

The new UPN schedule will be revealed in the next couple of weeks on the UPN page, which will also be upgraded.
