The trailer for S01E06 Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach is up on YT, hope it’s a workable alternative for those who couldn’t watch on Twitter:
Baseball, sometimes, for me.My UPN channel didn't have any sports that I recall.
No, 'Moonface' pretty much said in an interview that he had absolutely no interest in Star Trek and as far as he was concerned it didn't matter if it was cancelled.According to Rick Berman in a recent interview that isn't true, but he could just be covering for his friend.
The issue was that some UPN affiliates treated UPN programming like local syndication programming. In other words if they felt they could get higher ad Revenue by running a local sports game, they would preempt UPN programming or move it to a different day of the week.The biggest problem ENTERPRISE had, was UPN constantly treating it like an unloved stepchild.
They kept bumping it for sporting events and specials.
It also seemed to change which day it was airing depending on somebody's whim in the programming dept.
They were also constantly making demands for scripts to be changed to their liking.
The final straw was when the CEO pretty much announced that he hated Star Trek ... Period.
From M'Benga's memory alpha page:
[M'Benga] was actually created by Darlene Hartman, in her purchased (but never produced) TOS script entitled "Shol". The notes for that script give Dr. M'Benga's first name as "Joseph", and stated that he was originally a native of Uganda. His brother, Commander Simon M'Benga, was the first officer of USS Hope, a Federation hospital ship, in the planned-but-never-developed Star Trek spinoff Hopeship.
Curious if there's any chance of these ideas making it into new Trek now, although probably not as they'd have to pay royalties to Ms. Hartman (who Memory Alpha indicates is still alive)
ARRRGH. No. Just, no.
UPN also didn't have Affiliates in every Major Market back in the day.
You were lucky. We never even HAD a UPN affiliate either locally or on cable TV. Both VOY and ENT were off the air before I got to watch all the seasons of both.We lost our UPN affiliate between seasons 6 and 7 of Voyager. I'm still not sure I've seen all the season 7 episodes.

Apropos of nothing, I found it highly amusing that the two video suggestions that popped up after the trailer ended were one for "Pike's Enterprise" and another for how to make French dip sliders... YUM!!!The trailer for S01E06 Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach is up on YT, hope it’s a workable alternative for those who couldn’t watch on Twitter:
They're like the cartridge slots on Nintendo Switches. They're there if you want to use them but most everyone just downloads what they want instead.The food Food synthesizer's still have the little slot for the datacard

Chicago channel 50 was our UPN outlet. Before that it was just typical UHF stuff: reruns, cheesy old movies and h yeah, TNG. Weird Al would've loved it.
