What if instead of having three major television networks, the United States had more? They could be ABC, NBC, CBS, DBA (DuMont Broadcasting Agency), TAN (The American Network), and PBS. The Fox, UPN, and WB analouges could be KBN (Kaiser Broadcasting Network), DTN (Disney Television Network), and Fox. In this timeline, I'm imagining less sitcoms on, no reality shows, and maybe more game shows. Each network could have at least one science fiction show, with UKN showing an entire block of science fiction on Saturday nights during primetime. Primetime would be the smas in this timeline as it is in our timeline, from 8 PM EST to 11 PM EST. Late night television--such as The Tonight Show and The Late Show--would also exist; in this timeline, Letterman was appointed Carson's replacement on The Tonight Show and Leno gets a gig with somebody else, and Saturday Night Live on NBC would be around. What do you guys think?
