== History ==
In 1989, just after WIQP changed into a CBS affiliate, plans for an independent station began. In 1990, it was ultimately created.
After its creation in 1990, there were really no changes until 1992 when it was bought by RKO. However, RKO kept the independent station as independent for 10 more years. In 1997, they began using an alternate gray logo; which completely was phased out in 1998.
Then, the end of an era began. In 1999; the independent station was now bought by UPN, for $100,000,000 dollars from RKO. They did keep it independent until 2002; when it was ultimately bought completely by UPN.
The UPN era lasted well into 2006; with some massive changes. However, in February 2006, FOX bought WARC and began removing any remnants of UPN. In April, the logo was changed to a simple 9, then changing into something; but not exactly like the current logo. The logo used the 1990-2006 "9" shape that looked quite like a "q".
The FOX era began in April 2006, and marked the end of the UPN era. However, the logo was officially rebranded on June 24, 2006; and has remained the same ever since. At first; the new My9 network only received 1.4 million viewers in 2006; but more people liked it and by the end of 2007; the network now had 2 million viewers. As of now, that number is increasingly growing.
