Behold the power of Spike and Buffy

[shipperx]

First, according to TWOP, Spike destroyed BtVS and Angel. Then, Spuffy destroyed television. And now Buffy killed UPN and the WB. Who knew that two characters and one fandom could be so damn powerful.

It wouldn't have been half as funny if it hadn't been the Times claiming that Buffy slayed the netlets.

Oh, I guess this has to do with leaving the WB for UPN and bankrupting UPN in the process or some such nonsense?

Actually it was a rather backhanded thing where the bidding war between WB and UPN changed the ante between the networks and that by acquiring BtVS, UPN stepped into the WB's demographic and probably survived a few season's longer than it should have. Basically saying that UPN stealing BtVS stepped on the WB's toes where young female audience's are concerned. It was more "BtVS saved the UPN when it should have died a natural death and by saving the netlet, it split the audience, keeping UPN on life support long enough for UPN to kill the WB."
