UPN affiliation dispute and racism allegations
KJZZ-TV ended its UPN affiliation after citing programming content, ratings, financial performance, and schedule concerns. UPN executives alleged that the station's request for protection against an increase in urban or ethnic programming reflected racial bias. The dispute received national attention, although no finding of legal liability is identified in the cited material.
