Retro: Boston/Providence/New Hampshire - Sunday, Jan. 1, 1995

That sounds similar to something in New Haven. When WB started in 1995, WTNH-TV (ABC) channel 8 of New Haven carried the early 2 hour block on Saturdays at 11:30 PM ET. WTVU-TV channel 59 of New Haven signed on a couple of months later. The WB program block was moved there. They would then up their power and change their call letter to WBNE-TV (Warner Brothers New England). Today they're WCTX-TV (MY) and are the sister station of WTNH-TV.

Do you have the TV Guide - Hartford edition
for the Week of December 30, 2000 - January 5, 2001?

Which was when WBNE WB 59 became WCTX UPN 59, and WTXX UPN 20 became WTXX WB 20.
 
No, I don't have any of the Hartford/New Haven Editions...or any editions anymore. At one point, I had a stack of nearly every "Channels Listed In..." page and cable charts (such as the Boston Edition) from around the country.

Sister, Sister was on ABC first then when ABC cancelled it The WB picked it up. The WB did not exist until later in January 1995.
