Despite the local press considering WCGV to be CBS's best option for a replacement affiliate, the station repeatedly refused the network's advances. Then acting general manager Alan Frank openly castigated the network for what he considered its poor negotiation tactics, such as attempting to buy the station despite Abry's clear disinterest and their willingness to settle for low-rated UHF stations in other markets. The station cited advertising concerns in the decision to refuse CBS; becoming an independent station would allow the network to sell more of its own commercials, as opposed to being forced to give up significant portions of ad time to the network. While industry observers believed that the station's ownership was simply holding out for a better deal, it steadfastly refused to affiliate. CBS ultimately affiliated with WDJT-TV.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Instead, it became a charter affiliate of the United Paramount Network (<a href="/wiki/UPN" title="UPN">UPN</a>) on January 16, 1995, following a pattern in which many former Fox affiliates in markets where New World owned a station decided to join either UPN or fellow upstart network <a href="/wiki/The_WB" title="The WB">The WB</a> if they did not join a <a href="/wiki/Big_Three_television_networks" class="mw-redirect" title="Big Three television networks">Big Three</a> network displaced due to the affiliation switches. Around this time, the station changed its branding to "UPN 24", with a generic logo consisting of the station's call letters and channel number beneath the <a href="/wiki/Primary_color" title="Primary color">primary color</a> UPN "shapes" logo of that time. </p><p>In 1995, <a href="/wiki/Sinclair_Broadcast_Group" title="Sinclair Broadcast Group">Sinclair Broadcast Group</a> acquired WCGV and the other properties owned by Abry's television station group.

The Smith family, owners and founders of Sinclair owned 97% of Glencairn's stock, so Sinclair effectively owned both stations. Glencairn was involved in similar deals, owning eleven stations that were all operated by Sinclair under LMAs. This arrangement prompted <a href="/wiki/Jesse_Jackson" title="Jesse Jackson">Jesse Jackson</a> and his <a href="/wiki/Rainbow/PUSH" title="Rainbow/PUSH">Rainbow/PUSH</a> coalition to bring forward litigation, citing their concerns on racial issues in the face of one entity holding two broadcast licenses in a single market.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <a href="/wiki/Federal_Communications_Commission" title="Federal Communications Commission">Federal Communications Commission</a> eventually fined Sinclair $40,000 in 2001 for illegally controlling Glencairn.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On January 5, 1998, WCGV/Sinclair decided to drop the UPN affiliation over ratings and monetary issues, as did several other Sinclair stations in other markets after the company signed a lucrative affiliation deal with The WB (which included WVTV; the station affiliated with The WB on May 19, 1997, prior to WCGV dropping UPN) to shift several stations from UPN.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For eight months, the station reverted to being an independent station, though the only effect on the station's schedule was the replacement of UPN programming with syndicated film packages during prime time and Saturday afternoons, and paid programming in place of <a href="/wiki/UPN_Kids" title="UPN Kids">UPN Kids</a> on Sunday mornings. A few local cable providers brought in the network's <a href="/wiki/New_York_City" title="New York City">New York City</a> area affiliate <a href="/wiki/WWOR-TV" title="WWOR-TV">WWOR-TV</a> to keep UPN programming available in the Milwaukee area, but for the most part the network was only seen on cable systems on the fringe of the market via <a href="/wiki/WACY-TV" title="WACY-TV">WACY-TV</a> in <a href="/wiki/Appleton,_Wisconsin" title="Appleton, Wisconsin">Appleton</a> and <a href="/wiki/WPWR-TV" title="WPWR-TV">WPWR-TV</a> from <a href="/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a>; viewers could also choose to pull those stations over-the-air via antenna, along with the network's off-hours affiliation on <a href="/wiki/WOOD-TV" title="WOOD-TV">WOOD-TV</a>/<a href="/wiki/WOTV" title="WOTV">WOTV</a> across the lake in <a href="/wiki/Grand_Rapids,_Michigan" title="Grand Rapids, Michigan">Grand Rapids, Michigan</a>. Otherwise, most providers had dropped <a href="/wiki/WWOR_EMI_Service" title="WWOR EMI Service">WWOR's "superstation" cable feed</a> years before due to uninteresting programming replacing the main signal after <a href="/wiki/Syndication_exclusivity" title="Syndication exclusivity">SyndEx laws</a> came into place, and the cable feed had been discontinued by satellite distribution rights holder <a href="/wiki/Advance_Entertainment_Corporation" class="mw-redirect" title="Advance Entertainment Corporation">Advance Entertainment Corporation</a> a year earlier to increase distribution for <a href="/wiki/Animal_Planet" title="Animal Planet">Animal Planet</a>. </p><p>However, WCGV did see a viewership decline without a network affiliation. It also received complaints from vocal <i><a href="/wiki/Star_Trek" title="Star Trek">Star Trek</a></i> fans who had to pull in <i><a href="/wiki/Star_Trek:_Voyager" title="Star Trek: Voyager">Voyager</a></i> via over-the-air antenna from those out-of-market stations, switch to the <a href="/wiki/Dish_Network" title="Dish Network">Dish Network</a> or <a href="/wiki/PrimeStar" title="PrimeStar">PrimeStar</a> satellite services for their "superstation" packages, or acquire the episodes through <a href="/wiki/Tape_trading" title="Tape trading">tape trading</a>. Sinclair would eventually reverse its decision and come to terms with the network, resulting in WCGV rejoining UPN on August 4. On November 8 of that year, WCGV made up for the preemptions by airing an all-day <i>Voyager</i> marathon, showing the thirteen episodes making up the last half of <a href="/wiki/Star_Trek:_Voyager_(season_4)" class="mw-redirect" title="Star Trek: Voyager (season 4)">season four</a> that WCGV was not able to air during the second half of the 1997–98 season, with the permission of UPN and <a href="/wiki/CBS_Television_Studios" class="mw-redirect" title="CBS Television Studios">Paramount Television</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> WWOR was dropped from the few area cable systems it was on within days of the re-acquisition of WCGV's UPN affiliation. </p><p>Despite the reconciliation, the station continued to omit the mention of UPN from its own branding, and called itself "Channel 24" until the start of the 2001–2002 television season, when it brought back the "UPN 24" branding (one of only a small number of UPN stations to do so, as UPN branding was required by the network). WVTV became wholly owned by Sinclair in 2000, after the FCC overturned regulations that had prohibited television station <a href="/wiki/Duopoly_(broadcasting)" title="Duopoly (broadcasting)">duopolies</a>. </p><p>WITI never held an interest in carrying any of Fox's children's programming after it joined that network due to existing local home showcase programming on Saturday mornings, and wanting to have traditional syndicated programming lead into its weekday local news programming; therefore, <a href="/wiki/Fox_Kids" title="Fox Kids">Fox Kids</a> continued to air on WCGV for ten years after the affiliation switch (which included the station continuing to maintain a <i>Fox 24 Kids Club</i> through most of these years).
