Paramount Studios announced on June 17, 1977 that they would be creating a new television network (which is considered the ancestor of the fourth television network later associated with the Fox Broadcasting Company that launched in 1986), initially operating one night a week showing Paramount television films and a new Star Trek series about the Enterprise's second five-year mission, with most of the original series cast and the title "Star Trek: Phase II". It soon became clear that they could not make a go of the new network, but Paramount continued work on the new series in the hope of selling it to one of the existing networks. Paramount revisited the television network in the early 1990s when its Paramount Stations Group business assets (as part of the Viacom purchase in 1993) in a joint venture with Chris-Craft Industries launched UPN (United Paramount Network). A new Star Trek series (Star Trek: Voyager) was included in the program lineup. UPN ended its run in September 2006, with the CW network as its successor (a joint venture of CBS, former assets of UPN, and Warner Bros.).
