Miami Valley Channel

[1] An agreement was reached with Continental on July 8, 1994, and expectations had been that WHIO-TV would launch an all-news channel, as its Pittsburgh sister station, WPXI, had done in January of that year.

MVC launched on September 19, 1994, as a joint venture among Continental, Viacom and WHIO-TV,[3] appearing on channel 44 on both companies' systems.

As a secondary affiliate, it would have been normal for WRGT-TV to air UPN's programs "out of pattern" (that is, on days and in time slots other than those provided by the network).

Outside of Star Trek: Voyager, WRGT-TV relegated the remainder of the network's schedule to undesirable time slots: first weekend afternoons,[7] then the very early morning.

[8][9] MVC gained primary UPN affiliation in the fall of 1998, airing its first programs on October 5,[10][11] the beginning of the network's 1998–99 season.

WHIO-TV's general manager, Harry Delaney, was quoted as saying, "Another new network, MyNetworkTV, is being developed by Fox.

"[18] On July 26, 2006, it was announced by WHIO-TV that Time Warner Cable would no longer carry UPN 17 after December 31.

[19] In spite of the timing of UPN 17's shutdown, MyNetworkTV did not reach a Dayton affiliation agreement until August 24, 2006.

[22][23] After a 12-year run, the Miami Valley Channel was shut down at midnight on January 1, 2007, and was immediately dropped from Time Warner Cable's lineup.

UPN stopped broadcasting their signal in August of 2006 (sic) and MVC is no longer in operation as of December 31, 2006."
