MyNetworkTV

MyNetworkTV (sometimes abbreviated as MyTV) is an American commercial broadcast syndication service and former television network owned by Fox Corporation, operated by its Fox Television Stations division, and distributed via the syndication structure of Fox First Run. Under the ownership structure of Fox Corporation, the service is incorporated as a subsidiary company, Master Distribution Service, Inc.. MyNetworkTV began its operations on September 4, 2006, with an initial affiliate lineup covering about 96% of the country, most of which consisted of stations that were former affiliates of The WB and UPN that did not join the successor of those two networks, The CW. On September 28, 2009, following disappointment with the network's results, MyNetworkTV dropped its status as a television network and transitioned into a programming service, relying mainly on repeats of recent broadcast and cable series. Fox Corporation retained MyNetworkTV after the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by the Walt Disney Company was completed on March 20, 2019.
