In American television in 1993, notable events included television series debuts, finales, cancellations, and channel initiations, closures and rebrandings, as well as information about controversies and disputes.
ABC affiliate KOUS-TV (now Fox affiliate KHMT) in Billings, Montana, which had suffered reception problems for most of its history, signs off the air (it will return to the air as KHMT in August 1995). Later that day, KSVI signs-on the air, taking KOUS-TV's intellectual unit and ABC affiliation with it.[1][2]
The series finale of Santa Barbara airs on NBC. In it, Sophia and C.C. Capwell move towards a reconciliation, Kelly finds love with Connor McCabe, and at Warren and B.J.'s wedding, unbalanced Andie Klein aims a gun at the crowd; however, she is quickly disarmed and carried away by Connor. This is then followed by a roll-call list of the cast and crew. The final shot consists of executive producer Paul Rauch standing in front of the camera, smashing a cigar under his shoe, and walking away.
Fox expands its regular prime-time schedule to seven days a week; the network celebrates by premiering two dramas on this Tuesday: Class of '96 and Key West.
ESPN holds the first ever ESPY Awards. The highlight is Jim Valvano's speech while accepting the inaugural Arthur Ashe Courage and Humanitarian Award. He announced the creation of The V Foundation for Cancer Research, an organization dedicated to finding a cure for cancer.[4] Less than two months after his famous ESPY speech, Valvano died following a nearly yearlong battle with metastatic cancer.
Through a brokered deal with ESPN, ABC begins the first of a two-year deal with the National Hockey League to televise six regional Sunday afternoon broadcasts (including the first three Sundays of the playoffs). This marked the first time that regular season National Hockey League games were broadcast on American network television[5] since 1974–75 (when NBC was the NHL's American broadcast television partner).
Senior As the World Turns cast member Don Hastings hosts a memorial tribute to Douglas Marland. Marland, who died during March after an abdominal surgery procedure, had been the series' chief writer since 1985 and was responsible for several story lines on the CBS soap opera.
The series finale of Quantum Leap is broadcast on NBC. Two title cards were tacked on to the end of the last episode; one read that Al's first wife Beth never remarried, so they were still married in the present day and had four daughters. The last title cards said "Sam Becket [sic] never returned home." The finale was met by viewers with mixed feelings.[7][8][9]
May 8
The intended hour long series finale of A Different World is broadcast on NBC, who would go on to air four additional episodes through July 9, 1993. Three remaining episodes would make their debuts in syndication. In the finale, Dwayne, Whitley, and their unborn child prepare to move to Japan, where Dwayne is offered a job.
Jaimee Foxworth (Judy) and Telma Hopkins (Rachel) make their final regular appearances on the ABC sitcom Family Matters; though Hopkins later makes return guest appearances on the series as Rachel while Foxworth's character Judy disappears without explanation.
NBC airs the fourth seasonfinale of Seinfeld, expanded to 60 minutes. The episode concludes a season-long story sequence involving a pilot show written by Jerry and George, with the pilot finally coming to fruition only to be refused by NBC executives. Immediately afterwards, 80.4 million people tune to NBC to watch the series finale of Cheers.
The Major League Baseball All-Star Game airs on CBS for the fourth consecutive year. Played in Baltimore, this is to date, the final time that CBS would broadcast Major League Baseball's All-Star Game.
The pilot episode of The X-Files airs on Fox. As the pilot, it would set up the mythology storyline for the series. The episode earns a Nielsen rating of 7.9 and is viewed by 7.4 million households and 12.0 million viewers. The episode itself is generally well received by fans and critics alike, which leads to a growing cult following for the series before it hits the mainstream.

Raymond Burr dies of liver cancer at his ranch home in California at the age of 76. (The last Perry Mason movie, Perry Mason: The Case of the Killer Kiss, airs on NBC on November 29, carrying a dedication to Burr with an in memoriam tribute at the end of the movie.)
The pilot episode for NYPD Blue is broadcast on ABC. The series includes more nudity and raw language than is common on broadcast television at the time. This results in at least 30 of the network's affiliates—mostly in smaller markets—not running the series when it debuts, with the show airing in many of those markets on a Fox affiliate or independent station live or delayed.[14]
The pilot episode for Boy Meets World is broadcast on ABC as part of the network's popular TGIF comedy block following Family Matters and before Step by Step. It would face competition from hour-long shows The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. (Fox) and a special episode of Blossom (NBC), as well as half-hour comedy Family Album (CBS) in the same 8:30 p.m. timeslot. It would debut to 16.5 million viewers, ranking it as the fifth highest-viewed show of the night, and tied with another ABC series Matlock as the 48th ranked broadcast of the week.
The first Got Milk? commercial is broadcast on TV. Directed by Michael Bay, a guy obsessed by the history of the duel hears a voice on the radio asking a $10,000 question, "Who shot Alexander Hamilton in that famous duel?", while making and eating a peanut butter sandwich. The question was transferred to the telephone, answers the correct answer "Aaron Burr", but the person on the telephone can't hear it clearly with his mouth full of peanut butter sandwich before time ends, and he only has a few drops of milk left.
Home Alone makes its network television premiere on NBC.
November 26
Cartoon Network, TBS, and TNT all broadcast 14 hours of animated programs as part of "The Great International Toon-In". Interstitials during the event introduced the Cartoon Network's new motion capture animated character Moxy, which would be the star of Cartoon Network's first original animated program, The Moxy Show.
December 18
CBS (which had been a broadcaster of National Football League games for 38 years) loses their rights to telecast National Football Conference games to Fox. Fox wins the rights to NFC games by offering a then-record $1.58 billion to the NFL over four years, significantly more than the $290 million per year CBS was willing to pay.
