Because 'WPN' didn't exactly roll off the tongue

UPN and The WB will merge to form a new network called The CW, which I presume is borrowing the first initials of joint-owners CBS Corp. and Warner Brothers.

CNN reports that both of the old networks will cease operations in September. I'll have to shed a tear, considering I watched all of one episode of one show ("Everybody Hates Chris") since they launched.

And now a list of shows we're likely to see on the new net:

"Smallville Girls"
"America's Next Top Smackdown"
"Beauty & The One Tree Hill"
"Everwood Hates Chris"
"What I Like About Conglomeration"
