Former Fox affiliates [[WXLV-TV|WNRW-TV]] (channel 45)/[[WMYV-TV|WGGT-TV]] (channel 48, now [[MyNetworkTV]] affiliate [[WMYV-TV]]) assume the ABC affiliation, and WNRW-TV changes its callsign to [[WXLV-TV]] to reflect the new affiliation. Both stations retain a secondary [[UPN]] affiliation until WGGT-TV leaves its WXLV-TV simulcast to become a full-time UPN affiliate the next year. |- |With the cancellation of the 1988 incarnation of ''[[Family Feud]]'', ''[[The Price Is Right]]'' becomes the last remaining [[Fremantle (company)|Goodson-Todman]] [[List of Fremantle productions|show]] on the air until a revival of ''[[Match Game]]'' three years later. |- ! 9 |[[Kids' WB]] debuts on [[The WB]], anchored by ''[[Animaniacs]]'', which transfers over from [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]]'s children's programming block, [[Fox Kids]].

Meanwhile, in [[Miami]], CBS-owned [[WFOR-TV|WCIX]] (channel 6) and NBC-owned [[WTVJ]] (channel 4) swap channel positions, with WCIX becoming WFOR-TV as a result of the change. Two related swaps also occur in Denver, as former [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] affiliate [[KUSA-TV]] joins NBC, and former [[CBS]] affiliate [[KMGH-TV]] switches to ABC as a result of an affiliation deal between the network and [[McGraw-Hill]], KMGH's owners. |- |The [[47th Primetime Emmy Awards]] are aired on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]]. |- |[[CBS]] acquires [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] affiliate [[WPRI-TV]] from Narragansett Television and swaps affiliations with [[WLNE-TV]], thus reversing a swap that took place in 1977. |- |[[UPN Kids]] launches on [[UPN]], featuring two new series, ''[[Space Strikers]]'' and ''[[Teknoman]]''. |- |As part of a deal between [[The Outlet Company|Outlet Communications]] and [[NBC]], [[The WB|WB]] affiliate [[WNCN|WNCN-TV]] in [[Raleigh, North Carolina]] switches to NBC, ending WNCN's 9-month affiliation with The WB. Former NBC affiliate [[WRDC]] elevates its [[UPN]] affiliation to full-time status, while [[WRAZ (TV)|WRAZ]], which had signed on three days earlier, joins the WB. |- ! 17 |Part 2 of "[[Who Shot Mr. Burns?]]" serves as the [[The Simpsons (season 7)|Season 7]] premiere of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]].

In addition, KASW also assumes the local broadcast rights to [[Fox Kids]], which [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] affiliate [[KSAZ-TV]] is pre-empting in favor of news. |- ! 27 |[[Jennifer Love Hewitt]] joins the cast of ''[[Party of Five]]'', after appearing in three failed shows as a cast member, the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] series ''[[Shaky Ground]]'' and the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] series ''[[The Byrds of Paradise]]'' and ''[[McKenna (TV series)|McKenna]]''. |- ! 30 |[[Will Ferrell]], [[Cheri Oteri]], and [[Darrell Hammond]] join the cast of [[NBC]]'s ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''. |}
