Television related events in the USA during 1995

In American television in 1995, notable events included television show debuts, finales, cancellations, and channel initiations, closures and rebrandings, as well as information about controversies and disputes.

Date Event 2The 1994–96 United States broadcast TV realignment continues in two major markets: as a by product of an affiliation deal between ABC and The E. W. Scripps Company, and a related deal between CBS and Westinghouse Broadcasting, Westinghouse owned WBZ TV (channel 4) in Boston, Massachusetts switches from NBC to CBS, while NBC aligns with former CBS affiliate WHDH (which will remain affiliated with the network until New Year's Eve 2016). In Baltimore, CBS switches affiliations to Westinghouse owned WJZ TV (channel 13) after 46 years as an ABC affiliate, while ABC joins Scripps owned WMAR (channel 2) and NBC reunites with WBAL TV (channel 11) after 13 years as a CBS affiliate. Later that year, Westinghouse acquires CBS, making both WBZ TV and WJZ TV CBS owned and operated stations. G Force: Guardians of Space, the second American adaptation of the Japanese anime series Science Ninja Team Gatchaman (the first being Battle of the Planets) becomes the first ever anime to air on Cartoon Network. On January 29, Robot Carnival, Vampire Hunter D, and Twilight of the Cockroaches also debut, followed in February of next year by Speed Racer. This predates the March 1997 debut of Toonami, which will go on to popularize anime on the network and in the West. 5All My Children celebrates its 25th anniversary and broadcasts a prime time special on ABC. In an interview with Kathleen Gingrich, mother of Republican politician Newt Gingrich, on CBS' Eye to Eye, Mrs. Gingrich said she could not say what her son thought about First Lady Hillary Clinton on the air. Connie Chung asked Mrs. Gingrich to "just whisper it to me, just between you and me," and Mrs. Gingrich's microphone volume was turned up as she replied "He thinks she's a bitch." Many people interpreted Chung's suggestion that if Mrs. Gingrich would whisper this statement it would be promised that the statement would be off the record. Bill Carter for The New York Times reported, "Ms. Chung had become the object of some of the most ferocious criticism, justified or not, ever directed at any network anchor as a result of her now infamous interview with Speaker Newt Gingrich's mother, Kathleen." The interview was also parodied on Saturday Night Live. 11The WB, a joint venture between Warner Bros. Television and Tribune Broadcasting in conjunction with original network CEO Jamie Kellner, launches. Among the programs offered are four situation comedies (two family oriented, one family focused but adult targeted and one adult oriented soap opera inspired satire): The Wayans Bros. (starring former In Living Color DJ/cast member Shawn Wayans and his younger brother, Marlon Wayans), The Parent 'Hood (starring Robert Townsend), Unhappily Ever After and Muscle. While the former three series wound up lasting five seasons, Muscle fails to survive its first season. In addition to being available on around 70 affiliates, The WB is also initially distributed directly to cable and satellite providers via the superstation feed of Chicago charter affiliate WGN TV (owned by Tribune) to serve markets where the lack of available independent stations or stations that passed over the network in favor of fellow fledgling network UPN prevented The WB from maintaining an exclusive affiliation at launch. (This ended in August 1999, as a result of The WB gaining full time affiliates in some underserved mid sized markets and a small market cable feed being launched to serve smaller markets.) 16The United Paramount Network (UPN) launches, with a two hour premiere of Star Trek: Voyager. This results in an affiliation change in San Antonio between Fox affiliate KRRT (now KMYS) and independent station KABB, as KRRT leaves Fox for the new network (due to its then ownership by Paramount Pictures, UPN's part owner) and KABB assumes the Fox affiliation. The 1994–96 United States broadcast TV realignment continues in the Flint/Tri Cities, Michigan market, as NBC affiliate WNEM TV in Bay City and CBS affiliate WEYI TV in Saginaw swap affiliations. The move is deemed necessary by CBS to restore coverage in areas underserved by its then new affiliate WGPR in adjacent Detroit, since WNEM TV's signal is stronger than that of WEYI TV. 24Live broadcasts of the O. J. Simpson trial begin; as a result, many network soap operas are partially pre empted, more or less, for nine months.

Date Event 2Seinfeld broadcasts its 100th episode on NBC. 20What a Cartoon! launches on TBS, TNT and Cartoon Network simultaneously as part of the Space Ghost Coast to Coast special "1st Annual World Premiere Toon In". The first short, "The Powerpuff Girls in Meat Fuzzy Lumpkins", was shown at the end of the special. The series will prove to launch the careers of many prominent animators such as Butch Hartman, Craig McCracken, Genndy Tartakovsky, and Seth MacFarlane. 21Ted Danson reprises his role as Sam Malone from Cheers in an episode of its spin–off Frasier. 25In what would be his final television appearance, George Burns is presented with the very first SAG Lifetime Achievement Award by the Screen Actors Guild.

Date Event 6Deborah Norville begins assuming her duties as host of Inside Edition. The Jenny Jones Show taped an episode titled "Revealing Same Sex Secret Crush", in which the secret admirers of six guests were revealed. Three days after the episode was taped, one of the guests, Jonathan Schmitz, murdered his secret admirer, Scott Amedure. 13The 1994–96 United States broadcast TV realignment continues in Seattle Tacoma, as Gaylord Broadcasting owned KSTW joins CBS for the third time while former CBS affiliate KIRO TV joins the UPN network. 31All major U. S. networks interrupt their regular programming to break the news regarding the murder of Tejano music superstar Selena Quintanilla Pérez. The lead item on national television network evening news programs in Corpus Christi, Texas had been the end of the 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike. Within thirty minutes of its announcement, Selena's murder became the lead item on all television stations in South Texas. Univision and Telemundo are among the first national news stations to arrive at the crime scene. Coverage of the singer's death and the murder trial would dominate American newscasts in 1995.

Date Event 2Fox airs National Hockey League games for the first time. 12Drew Barrymore appears on CBS's Late Show with David Letterman. In honor of Letterman's birthday, guest Barrymore dances on his desk and flashes him "on air". 18Rox becomes the first television series distributed via internet.28–29WCW and New Japan Pro Wrestling showcase the "Collision in Korea". It is the first ever American pro wrestling event held in North Korea. It is rebroadcast in both Japan and the United States with the main event being between Ric Flair and Antonio Inoki.

Date Event 7 Jurassic Park makes its network broadcast television premiere on NBC. 9CBS broadcasts Deadline for Murder: From the Files of Edna Buchanan, starring Elizabeth Montgomery. This turned out to be Montgomery's final live action acting role (her final acting role in general was in a voice over role on Batman: The Animated Series) as she would die on May 18. 12As the World Turns broadcasts its milestone 10,000th episode on CBS. 21Above Suspicion starring Christopher Reeve premieres on HBO. In it, Reeve plays a paralyzed cop who plots to murder his wife. Six days after Above Suspicion first airs, Reeve is seriously injured in a fall while riding on horseback, resulting in him becoming a quadriplegic for the remainder of his life. 24ABC announces that an episode of the soap opera All My Children was deleted from broadcasting due to the then recent Oklahoma City bombing; in the story, villainess Janet Green was supposed to explode the church in which her ex Trevor Dillon was to marry her rival Laurel Banning.

Date Event 24Fox broadcasts the fourth game of the Stanley Cup Finals between the New Jersey Devils and Detroit Red Wings. This marks the first time that a clinching game from the Stanley Cup Finals is broadcast on American network television since the sixth game of the 1980 Finals on CBS.

Date Event 1After being purchased by New World Communications from Argyle Television, three additional stations switch to Fox as part of the 1994–96 United States broadcast TV realignment: KDFW (channel 4) in Dallas Ft. Worth, KTBC (channel 7) in Austin, Texas and KTVI (channel 2) in St. Louis. KDFW and KTBC both defect from CBS, while KTVI leaves ABC. Independent station KTVT (channel 11) in Dallas takes the CBS affiliation in that area through an affiliation deal between the network and Gaylord Broadcasting (owners of KTVT); in Austin, former Fox affiliate KBVO (channel 42) swaps affiliations with KTBC and changes its calls to KEYE; and in St. Louis, KDNL (channel 30) swaps its Fox affiliation with KTVI and joins ABC. Former Fox owned station KDAF TV (channel 33) joins The WB, taking that affiliation from KXTX TV (channel 39) due to a temporary arrangement in which KXTX would carry WB programming, until such time Fox was cleared to move to channel 4. KXTX TV then becomes an independent station. Fox Kids, Fox's children programming block, doesn't follow the rest of the network's programming to KTBC and KTVI because of their commitments to news, and instead air on independent stations K13VC and KNLC. As a result of a dispute between Fox and KNLC, however, Fox Kids is moved to KTVI the following year. 11ABC airs the 66th annual Major League Baseball All Star Game from Arlington, Texas. It was ABC's first broadcast of baseball's All Star Game since 1988 and their last to date. 24WFMZ TV initiates their very first daytime Berks Edition at 5:30 pm and the First Nighttime Newscast at 10:30 pm, covering the entire Berks County and all across the Lehigh Valley of Eastern Pennsylvania and Western New Jersey. 31The Walt Disney Company announces that it would acquire and merge with Capital Cities/ABC Inc. The purchase would include the ABC network itself, stakes in A&E Television Networks, Lifetime and ESPN Inc., and the ownership in the limited partnership ran animation studio DIC Productions, L. P. The sale would be completed in 1996.

Date Event 4Shortly after CBS' affiliation agreement with Westinghouse Broadcasting, its flagship station at that time, KDKA TV finally brings back the program CBS This Morning after a few years of preempting. 7NBC wins the rights to broadcast the 2002 Winter Olympics from Salt Lake City, Utah for $545 million. 14ABC affiliate in Rockford, WREX TV and NBC affiliate WTVO swaps network affiliations due to a group deal with Quincy Newspapers. 17On the series finale of Yo! MTV Raps, numerous high profile names in the world of hip hop close the show out with a freestyle rap session. The Tribune Company acquired a 12.5% limited partnership interest in The WB for $12 million; the deal gave Tribune an option to increase its stake in the network up to a 25% interest; Tribune would eventually increase its ownership share in the WB to 22.5% on March 31, 1997. 21As a result of the 1994–96 United States broadcast TV realignment, longtime NBC affiliate WLUK TV in Green Bay becomes the first of four "Big three" affiliates that SF Broadcasting (a joint venture of Savoy Communications and Fox Broadcasting) has purchased from Burnham Broadcasting to switch its affiliation to Fox. NBC eventually aligns with former Fox affiliate WGBA TV. Two more NBC affiliated stations (WALA TV in Mobile, Alabama, and KHON TV in Honolulu), along with ABC affiliate WVUE in New Orleans switch their affiliations to Fox on January 1, 1996. NBC again swaps affiliations with the former Fox affiliates in Mobile and Honolulu (WPMI and KHNL respectively), while ABC joins WB affiliate WGNO and former Fox affiliate WNOL joins The WB. 22Larry Hagman, former main actor of Dallas and I Dream of Jeannie, undergoes a liver transplant.

Date Event 4The very first edition of WCW Monday Nitro airs from the Mall of America in Minneapolis, Minnesota on TNT. 5Alan Kalter becomes the second announcer of the Late Show with David Letterman replacing Bill Wendell. 6In front of a nationwide audience watching on ESPN and on HTS in the Baltimore market, Orioles shortstop Cal Ripken Jr. surpasses New York Yankees legend Lou Gehrig on Major League Baseball's list for most consecutive games played. 8The 1994–96 United States broadcast TV realignment continues when longtime ABC affiliate WGHP TV (channel 8) in High Point, North Carolina is sold directly to Fox (acquired via New World Communications from Citicasters, along with WBRC TV in Birmingham, Alabama due to ownership conflicts) and as a result, becomes a Fox owned station. Former Fox affiliates WNRW TV (channel 45)/WGGT TV (channel 48, now MyNetworkTV affiliate WMYV TV) assume the ABC affiliation, and WNRW TV changes its callsign to WXLV TV to reflect the new affiliation. Both stations retain a secondary UPN affiliation until WGGT TV leaves its WXLV TV simulcast to become a full time UPN affiliate the next year. With the cancellation of the 1988 incarnation of Family Feud, The Price Is Right became the last remaining Goodson Todman show on the air until a revival of Match Game three years later. 9Kids' WB debuts on The WB, anchored by Animaniacs, which transfers over from Fox's children's programming block, Fox Kids. It debuted on Fox Kids 2 years before. 10A major compensation deal between NBC and CBS after the Westinghouse Group W/CBS deal as a result of the 1994–96 United States broadcast TV realignment becomes effective: two NBC O&O's (KCNC TV in Denver and KUTV TV in Salt Lake City) and the network's Philadelphia affiliate KYW TV become CBS affiliated stations (and quickly after that CBS owned stations after Westinghouse merged with CBS), while former CBS affiliate KSL TV in Salt Lake City joins NBC and CBS O&O WCAU in Philadelphia becomes an NBC owned station. Meanwhile, in Miami, CBS owned WCIX (channel 6) and NBC owned WTVJ (channel 4) swap channel positions, with WCIX becoming WFOR TV as a result of the change. Two related swaps also occur in Denver, as former ABC affiliate KUSA TV joins NBC, and former CBS affiliate KMGH TV switches to ABC as a result of an affiliation deal between the network and McGraw Hill, KMGH's owners. The 47th Primetime Emmy Awards are aired on Fox. CBS acquires ABC affiliate WPRI TV from Narragansett Television and swaps affiliations with WLNE TV, thus reversing a swap that took place in 1977. UPN Kids launches on UPN, featuring two new series, Space Strikers and Teknoman. As part of a deal between Outlet Communications and NBC, WB affiliate WNCN TV in Raleigh, North Carolina switches to NBC, ending WNCN's 9 month affiliation with The WB. Former NBC affiliate WRDC elevates its UPN affiliation to full time status, while WRAZ, which had signed on three days earlier, joins the WB. 17Part 2 of "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" serves as the Season 7 premiere of The Simpsons on Fox. An America's Most Wanted special, "Springfield's Most Wanted", precedes the episode. 22KASW signs on the air in Phoenix, Arizona, as part of a LMA with, and taking The WB from, KTVK which becomes independent. In addition, KASW also assumes the local broadcast rights to Fox Kids, which Fox affiliate KSAZ TV is pre empting in favor of news. 27Jennifer Love Hewitt joins the cast of Party of Five, after appearing in three failed shows as a cast member, the Fox series Shaky Ground and the ABC series The Byrds of Paradise and McKenna. 30Will Ferrell, Cheri Oteri, and Darrell Hammond join the cast of NBC's Saturday Night Live.

Date Event 2In Major League Baseball's first "do or die" tie breaker game since 1980, the Seattle Mariners defeat the California Angels 9–1 to clinch the American League West title and their first ever postseason berth. The game is nationally televised on ESPN with Jon Miller and Joe Morgan on the call. 3More than 150 million people tune in to watch the verdict in the O. J. Simpson murder trial, which ends with Simpson being found not guilty of murdering his ex wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman. The verdict is met with both praise and criticism. 8Game 5 of the American League Division Series between the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees is broadcast on ABC/The Baseball Network with Brent Musburger and Jim Kaat on the call. With Seattle down by the score of 5–4 going into the bottom of the 11th inning, Edgar Martínez lines a double to the left field fence off of New York reliever Jack McDowell, scoring both Joey Cora and Ken Griffey Jr. to send the Mariners to the League Championship Series for the first time. Martinez's game winning hit and the aftermath remains the Mariners' most famous moment. During 1995, there were rumors that the Mariners might relocate to the Tampa area. Their success this season leads to renewed local interest in the team and the building of Safeco Field, which opened in July 1999. 15ABC affiliate W58BT goes on the air and former ABC affiliate WSJV TV switches to Fox. 18In the Michiana region of Indiana, Elkhart based ABC affiliate WSJV swaps affiliations with South Bend based Fox affiliate W58BT (which will become WBND LP by the end of the year). The rush for W58BT to switch to ABC (at the insistence of network executives, who didn't want to wait for W58BT to sign on a new transmitter) causes a partial transmitter failure, which is fixed within a few days. 20Robert MacNeil anchors The MacNeil/Lehrer Newshour on PBS for the last time. 21ABC and NBC begin their unprecedented shared coverage of the World Series through their soon to be concluding revenue sharing joint venture with Major League Baseball called The Baseball Network. ABC, who last broadcast a World Series in 1989 airs Games 1, 4, and 5 (with Al Michaels, Jim Palmer and Tim McCarver on the call) while NBC, who last broadcast a World Series in 1988, airs Games 2, 3 and the decisive Game 6 (with Bob Costas, Joe Morgan and Bob Uecker on the call). (A seventh game, if necessary, would have been televised by ABC.) While NBC will continue to hold some MLB rights for the next few years, Game 5 on October 26 would prove to be the last Major League Baseball game to be broadcast by ABC until Game 1 of the 2020 American League Wild Card Series between the Houston Astros and Minnesota Twins. 28In Toledo, Ohio, NBC affiliate WTVG swaps affiliations with ABC affiliate WNWO and becomes an ABC owned and operated station. The Atlanta Braves win the 1995 World Series in six games over the Cleveland Indians, making them the first Major League team to win a championship for three different cities (first being Boston in 1914 and then Milwaukee in 1957). It is also the final broadcast for The Baseball Network, which as previously mentioned, was a joint venture between Major League Baseball, ABC, and NBC.

Date Event 1Clear Channel Communications, owners of recently purchased WHP TV in Harrisburg, entered into a local marketing agreement with Gateway Communications, owners of WLYH TV in Lancaster to start operating the station. As a result, WLYH TV's news operation has been discontinued. 2Characters from various NBC comedies appear on different shows. The lead character from Caroline in the City appears on Friends, while Friends characters Ross appears on The Single Guy and Chandler appears on Caroline in the City. 7Major League Baseball reaches a television deal with Fox and NBC, allowing the former to obtain MLB game rights. Fox paid $575 million for the five year contract, a fraction less of the amount of money that CBS had paid for the Major League Baseball television rights for the 1990–1993 seasons. 13ABC's 30 minute soap opera Loving is turned into The City. 20On ABC, One Life to Live broadcasts its 7,000th episode and debuts a new opening sequence. ROX and Computer Chronicles are broadcast via the Internet—these are the first Internet broadcasts in the history of television.

Date Event 1The 1994–96 United States broadcast TV realignment continues as WHBQ TV (channel 13) in Memphis, Tennessee ends its ABC affiliation after 45 years. WHBQ TV is acquired by Fox Television Stations from Communications Corporation of America and joins Fox, while former Fox affiliate WPTY TV (channel 24) joins ABC. 11On NBC, The Today Show becomes the highest rated morning news program (and would remain so until 2012). 16WLYH TV in Lancaster ends its affiliation with CBS following a local marketing agreement with WHP TV, and as a result, WLYH TV became a primary UPN affiliate, cutting back the programming hours within the programming schedule. 18As part of the Monday Night War, World Championship Wrestling booker Eric Bischoff has WWF performer Alundra Blayze (now going by the name Madusa) appear on TNT's WCW Monday Nitro, where she throws her WWF Women's Championship into a trash can.
