WPSG Foulup - What Year Is This Again?

Look carefully. It's 2006, and this is the end credits to Dr. Phil, which UPN 57 was running as a 10pm news alternative. At the end, they decide to slap up a graphic to accompany the Roger Rose voiceover.

Unfortunately, they chose not only an erroneous graphic boasting that Moesha was up next - they chose a graphic that itself dates back to 2000 and boasts the UPN logo dropped in 2002 (and the station logo style dumped in 2001). While the accident was an innocent one, it begs the question - why was this old graphic still in the servers at 5th and market to begin with?

I've included the "Wake Up News" promo at the end to remind everyone that yes, indeed, this was recorded in 2006.

Indeed, this graphic was from 2000. And yes, this was UPN 57's weakest line-up of syndicated shows before Everybody Loves Raymond and King of Queens were brought up to boost UPN 57 a 1-3 years later. Sometime in 2004, the UPN 57 logo returned, but it looks a million times better. Plus, the station had much stronger programming, and it's parent company, CBS wanted their UPN owned stations to have more of a local-friendly image, giving us Gimme' the Mike, the U-Crew, WakeUPNews, and so forth..
