The WB Television Network, commonly shortened to The WB and short for Warner Bros., was a broadcast television network in the United States, that was launched on 11 January 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 shut down on 17 September 2006 and was replaced by The CW.
Chuck Jones' Michigan J. Frog was the official mascot of The WB from 1995 to 2006.
In the launch bumper, Bugs Bunny wonders who would pull the switch to start the new WB television network. Daffy Duck then claims that he will pull the switch. Meanwhile, Chuck Jones draws a picture of Michigan, who leaps out of the paper to pull the switch, officially launching The WB. Michigan does his trademark kick dance, as Jones says "What's up, frog?"
