• Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS)
• Fox Network (Fox)
• Warner Brothers Network (WB)

National networks try, when possible, to own the same "channel space" in all cities where they broadcast. CBS lays claim to "channel 3", NBC has "channel 5", and ABC has "channel 7".

The WB, UPN and PAX are sometimes called "netlets" because they do not currently have the affiliate reach of the larger networks.

• CBS: "Tiffany network" or "Eye network"
• WB: "Frog network"
