I also forget to mention that PrimeTime 24 affiliate WSEE 35 (CBS - Erie) known as "SeeCBS on Satellite" (which replaced WRAL Raleigh in October that year) also carried UPN programming as a secondary affiliate (Good News, Sparks, Clueless, Moesha, Malcolm & Eddie, Star Trek: Voyager, UPN Movie Trailer, The Sentinel, Love Boat: The Next Wave, Hitz etc...).

Well I'm still looking for which bird the Paramount Stations Group (PSG) used for their newsfeeds at the time, Chris-Craft/United Television used GSTAR4 (R4) as mentioned earlier in this thread.
In the mean time as I wait (finishing the videos of networks uploaded), I know KAYU 28 (FOX - Spokane) which was carried on Anik E2 (A2), carried UPN programming as a secondary affiliate before KSKN obtained the UPN affiliation later that year.

KTVU's newscasts from San Francisco were also being simulcast on KRVU-LP in Chico/Redding.
