BUFFY SLAYS THE PHILLIES, AS TEAM MOVES FROM WB TO UPN AFFIL

          The Phillies are moving 70 regular-season games from
     WPHL-WB to WPSG-UPN, according to Bill Fleischman of the
     PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS.  WPSG already carries 21 Flyers
     games and is scheduled to air 20 76ers games.  WPSG VP/GM
     Walt DeHaven said that although WPSG is a UPN station, the
     network's programming will be preempted about 28 times over
     200 nights.  DeHaven said that he "expects" any scheduling
     conflicts between teams to be resolved by Comcast SportsNet,
     the cable outlet for all three teams.  Fleischman writes
     that the Phillies were "driven off" WPHL by WB shows like
     "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Dawson's Creek."  Sources
     said that WPHL "hoped to work out" a 35- to 40-game package,
     but the team wanted to air more games (DAILY NEWS, 10/21).
