CBS and Time Warner's Warner Brothers on Tuesday said they will close their respective UPN and WB television networks and jointly launch a new network in fall 2006.

The new CW network will be a 50-50 joint venture of the two companies.

UPN and WB, which both have focused on younger viewers, had their share of hits over the years including "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," "Gilmore Girls," and "Everybody Hates Chris," but neither was a big money maker.

"UPN was approaching a point where we were hoping to break even, and we were getting close," said CBS Chief Executive Les Moonves. "The long range plan looked far better with this (new network)."
