  3. When UPN was putting together it's 2004-2005 fall scedual last month, it looked like Star Trek: Enterprise was heading out of the prime-time galaxy. The network finally had a hit show with America's Next Top Model, which executives wanted to move to wednesday to pair with Kevin Hill,the upcoming drama staring Taye Diggs.

     

    That left no room for Enterprise- which had seen its raiting drop for the second straight year -until Paramount, the studio that produces the series, made UPN an offer it couldn't refuse. Sources tell TV Guide that Paramount reduced the amount it charges UPN for Enterprise from $1.7 million an episode to about $800,000 in return for renewing it for another season. At that price, UPN could afford to air the series on Fridays at 9 pm, where the network was drawing virtually no viewers with what one executive calls "eigth runs of slasher movies."

     

    Why would Paramount agree to take such a financial hit? Studios typically need four seasons' worth of episodes for their syndication deals, and Enterprise was one short. And while only Trekkers would care if the show were canceled, Paramount knows it plays to keep them happy because Trekkers buy a lot of merchandise. Star Trek video games, books, dolls and other collectables ring up about $200 million a year in retail sales, bringing in royalties of $20 million to Paramount. When Adams Media Research ranked the 50 all-time best-selling TV-show box sets last year, nine were collections of Star Trek seasons-selling at $129 and $139 a pop and each putting more then $4 million in the studio's coffers.

     

    Enterprise will help keep those revenue streams flowing. "It's important to have fresh Trek products out there," says Marty Brochstein of The Licensing Letter. "There are still a lot of die-hard fans. And they want more."
