1  | NBCUniversal ends the channel program Trio and in its place begins Sleuth, a 24-hour entertainment cable TV channel dedicated to the crime, mystery and suspense genres.
The final episode of the original NFL Primetime airs on ESPN, followed by the network's final Sunday Night Football game.
2  | After several years as part of The WB's weekday programming sequence, The WB ends its weekday afternoon Kids' WB animation sequence. Kids' WB is relegated to Saturday mornings, and the weekday block is replaced by Daytime WB.
4  | The Rose Bowl Game between the Texas Longhorns and USC Trojans is broadcast on ABC. Now considered by many to not only be the greatest college football national championship game of all time, but the greatest Division 1-A college football game ever played,[1][2][3] this Rose Bowl also has the distinction of being the final game ever called by longtime broadcaster Keith Jackson. It was also the final Rose Bowl to be telecast under ABC Sports branding; the 2007 Rose Bowl would be an ESPN on ABC presentation.
12  | Dari Alexander (anchor of afternoon portions of Fox News Live on weekends) and Rick Folbaum (anchor of Fox Report Weekend) are transferred from Fox News Channel to the Fox flagship station WNYW/New York City. They are replaced by Jamie Colby and Trace Gallagher, respectively (the latter effective on February 4, when the network introduced the weekend editions of Studio B). Folbaum, however, would return to the network in 2009.
The second live episode of the program Will & Grace is broadcast by NBC on both the East and West coasts of the United States.
14  | The NHL on NBC returned for the first time since broadcasting the 1994 NHL All-Star Game, featuring a regional tripleheader. It marked NBC's first non-All-Star Game broadcast of the NHL since the 1975 Stanley Cup Finals.
24  | CBS Corporation and Warner Bros. announce the initiation of The CW Television Network for the 2006–2007 season. This network is, in a sense, a merger of The WB and UPN and is designed to replace both of those networks.[4]
NFL player Bob Griese donated a total of $114,310 (including the standard $100,000 grand prize) on his appearance in Wheel of Fortune to his charity for Judi's House (founded by his son Brian, also an NFL alumnus).[5][6] The winning puzzle, "Brains and Brawn", would later be reprised on December 16, 2010, where another contestant, Hillary Light, solved the exact same puzzle with a similar result.[7]
28  | The Directors Guild of America name Tony Croll and J. Rupert Thompson as best reality television directors for the programs Three Wishes and Fear Factor, respectively. Best director of a dramatic series is Michael Apted for Rome. Television comedy series director is Marc Buckland for My Name Is Earl. Directors Joseph Sargent (Warm Springs) and George C. Wolfe (Lackawanna Blues) share best television movie awards. General Hospital's Owen Renfroe is named best daytime television serial director.

### September

[edit]

Date  | Event

|

1  | In Lima, Ohio, lame-duck UPN affiliate WLQP-LP leaves the network to join ABC, giving the area its first full-time ABC affiliate. This in turn gives Lima in-market of all four major commercial broadcast networks.
2  | ESPN takes over production of ABC Sports broadcasts, rebranding them as ESPN on ABC. Both networks are owned by The Walt Disney Company.
4  | UPN affiliate WSWG in Valdosta, Georgia, having planned to be a MyNetworkTV affiliate with CBS on DT2, does an about-face and becomes a semi-satellite of sister station and Thomasville-based CBS affiliate WCTV, moving MyNetworkTV (when it debuts the following night) to DT2. This gives the Albany market its first full-time CBS affiliate.
MTV en Español is relaunched as MTV Tres.
5  | The debut of the new News Corp-owned broadcast network MyNetworkTV occurs on this date with the premiere of two prime-time telenovelas, Desire and Fashion House.

Fox officially shuts down Foxnet, a cable service for television markets that did not have a local Fox affiliate. This prompts stations in the few markets that still carry Foxnet to launch Fox-affiliated subchannels: CBS affiliate WAGM-TV in Presque Isle, Maine moves its affiliation to DT2 on this day and joins Fox. Meanwhile, in Bowling Green, Kentucky, ABC affiliate WBKO-TV launches a Fox-affiliated DT2 subchannel at around the same time, returning Fox to Bowling Green for the first time since Fox left now-NBC affiliate WNKY in 2001 in a dispute.[12][13]
13  | Meredith Vieira begins co-hosting duties of the NBC program Today, replacing Katie Couric.
Two new Fox affiliates hit the air due to the shutdown of Foxnet. In the Beckley-Bluefield-Oak Hill area, Lewisburg-based CBS affiliate WVNS-TV adds a Fox affiliation on its DT2 subchannel, returning Fox to the market for the first time since WVNS-TV itself dropped the network in 2001 to join CBS (and giving the area in-market affiliates of all four major commercial broadcast networks). Meanwhile, in the Mississippi Delta, Greenville-based ABC affiliate WABG-TV also launches a Fox affiliation on its DT2 subchannel.
16  | Following the Viacom/CBS split, the Nick Jr. on CBS block is replaced by KOL Secret Slumber Party, a female-oriented Saturday morning block produced by DiC Entertainment. Rebrandings took place a year later when it became KEWLopolis, and with the merge to Cookie Jar Entertainment in the fall of 2009, Cookie Jar TV.
18  | The CW network debuts as the sixth broadcast network, merging with UPN (owned by CBS which split in the original Viacom, three days after UPN ceased operations) and The WB (owned by Warner Bros., a day after The WB ceased operations).
Vickyann Sadowski wins $147,517 worth of cash and prizes for her performance on the season 35 premiere of The Price Is Right on CBS. This not only made Sadowski (at the time) the biggest winner of the daytime show's history, it also surpassed Press Your Luck contestant Michael Larson, making her then-the biggest one day winner in the history of American network daytime game shows in general (Sadowski's record has since surpassed by five other contestants as of 2019, with the first being Sheree Heil on December 30, 2013, who won $170,345;[14] the current record holder was Michael Stouber on October 14, 2019, who won $262,743[15]).
