  distribute rights to franchises across multiple companies so no one has monopoly power

  for the 80th time, Pokémon was not on the UPN network, it was syndicated
  
  In Denver, it aired on the Fox station before the jump to Kids' WB!

  it made more sense for whoever owned the distribution rights to sign with The WB

  
  

  The WB could put the show in a consistent timeslot across the country (though some stations aired the weekday morning portion of Kids' WB! in the afternoon - I know KWGN did), unlike the individual affiliates carrying the show. The show also now had the power of an actual network behind it.

  ⚠ THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS

  As I understand it, 4Kids and Summit Media did their own station sales.

  TIL Pokémon wasn't always a Kids' WB/Cartoon Network thing
  
  I remember when The WB had it but nothing before that
