 PROFILE
ACME Communications' relationship with Warner Bros. has nothing to do with rockets or any other explosives. Founded in 1997, the company owns and operates 10 TV stations in midsized markets in nine states. Nine of the stations are affiliates of The WB Television Network, which was founded in 1995 by ACME chairman and CEO Jamie Kellner (also chairman and CEO of Turner Broadcasting), Warner Bros. parent Time Warner (now AOL Time Warner), and Tribune Broadcasting. ACME's non-WB affiliate is a UPN affiliate. The company's stations, which focus on younger audiences, also feature syndicated and some local programming. ACME is chasing expansion, with plans for three new stations in Michigan and one in Oregon.
