UPN Network

The United Paramount Network (UPN) was an American broadcast television network that launched on January 16, 1995. The network was originally owned by Chris-Craft Industries/United Television; Viacom (through its Paramount Television unit, which produced most of the network's series) turned the network into a joint venture in 1996 after acquiring a 50% stake in the network, and then purchased Chris-Craft's stake in the network in 2000; UPN was spun off to CBS Corporation in December 2005, when CBS and Viacom split up into two separate companies.

UPN shut down on September 15, 2006, with some of its programs moving three days later to The CW – a joint venture between CBS Corporation and Time Warner (majority owner of The WB, itself shutting down two days later).

Broadcasting Sailor Moon
Sailor Moon was first broadcast in the United States September 11, 1995 on the UPN's former block UPN Kids. The series premiered on over twenty seven UPN Stations across the United States. The chosen time slots for Sailor Moon varied depending on the station and state, but primarily appeared to be around the early morning hours of 6:00 and 7:00 AM in the morning Monday through Friday.

The first season ran from September 1995 to November 1995. The second season, Sailor Moon R ran for a number of thirteen episodes from November 1995 to December of the same year. May 26, 1997, UPN reran Sailor Moon on UPN's stations in Birmingham, Alabama, Honolulu, Hawaii, Louisville, Kentucky and San Francisco, California. Earlier, in December 1995, UPN cancelled the show. Their reasoning was their intended target audience, the "younger audiences", was not being reached. Website activity instead revealed it was attracting older audiences.

A fansite organization named "Save Our Sailors" (S.O.S.) campaigned and petitioned to save the show after UPN dropped. The campaign caught the attention of General Mills and its subsidiary The Program Exchange, who ultimately agreed to sponsor and syndicate the dub. Dic later announced that the rest of Sailor Moon R would debut on the USA Network June 9, 1997.

Despite this, after Toonami started to air the rest of Sailor Moon R and rerun older episodes after USA Network was bought under different ownership, UPN had returned to rerun the older episodes that was in syndication in 1995; along with the episodes that aired on USA Network and Cartoon Network's Toonami, starting in the Summer of 1999. Later that year, UPN Kids was replaced with the Disney Too block on September 6th. They also had other Toonami shows, such as PokéMon and Dragon Ball Z still in syndication, until the block was phased out entirely. Despite this; certain UPN stations continued to air Sailor Moon, until the broadcasting rights expired.
