The WB Television Network was an American television network first launched on broadcast television on January 11, 1995, as a joint venture between the Warner Bros. Entertainment division of Time Warner and the Tribune Broadcasting subsidiary of the Tribune Company, with the former acting as controlling partner. The network principally aired programs targeting teenagers and young adults between the ages of 12 and 34, with its children's division, Kids' WB, geared toward children ages 6 to 12. The WB was also sometimes referred to as the "
Frog Network", in reference to a former mascot, Michigan J. Frog.
