Which network originally broadcast Gilmore Girls?

The WB originally broadcast Gilmore Girls. The network launched the series in 2000 as part of its programming aimed at younger viewers, and the show remained on The WB through its first six seasons.

Gilmore Girls became one of The WB’s recognizable drama series, combining family storytelling with romantic plots, school life, and comedy. Its setting and characters helped distinguish it from the network’s more fantastical or action-oriented programs.

The WB and UPN later merged their operations to form The CW. Gilmore Girls moved to The CW for its seventh and final season, which aired during the 2006–2007 television season.

The distinction between The WB and The CW can cause confusion because both networks carried the show. The original broadcaster was The WB, while The CW aired only the final season.
