This was the time when the former independent stations that became UPN and WB affiliates started being homogenized even in dayparts when network programming wasn't on. Fewer movies or older series and the same syndicated reruns at about the same times in most markets.
 
This was the time when the former independent stations that became UPN and WB affiliates started being homogenized even in dayparts when network programming wasn't on. Fewer movies or older series and the same syndicated reruns at about the same times in most markets.

Yeah, this particular time was also around the start of the proliferation of talk, court, and reality-type shows. Some stations, like some of the ones posted here, were still pretty rerun-heavy, but at this point, this is where most Fox stations (and a lesser extent, WB and UPN stations as well) began eschewing the usual traditional lineup of kids shows/sitcoms/dramas/news/game shows, etc. in favor of more news, and certainly more conflict talkers. This is also at the time that The Jerry Springer Show was arguably the most popular talk show out there, regardless of format.
