The Prime Time Entertainment Network (PTEN) was an American television network that was operated by the Prime Time Consortium, a joint venture between the Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution subsidiary of Time Warner and the BHC Communications subsidiary of Chris-Craft Industries. First launched on January 20, 1993, and operating until 1997, the network mainly aired drama programs aimed at adults between the ages of 18 and 54. At its peak, PTEN's programming was carried on 177 television stations, covering 93% of the country.[1] Taking on a pay-TV network-type appearance, with its scheduling strategy, the network and premium-TV-like nature of this network followed the Cinemax model. At the time, Cinemax was the top-rated pay TV network, having had a reputation for securing high-profile films and shows (being the exclusive premiere network of GoodFellas in 1991, and having the last seasons of SCTV in the 80s). This is significant as UPN would be the primary network of the stations that carried this network, such as WWOR and KCOP.
