DOUG NYE Staff Writer CBS affiliate WLTX-19, which had been airing "Voyager" since its inception, decided to drop the show because of the baggage that comes with it.

That also means Columbia won't have two of UPN's other successful shows "Moesha" and "The Sentinel." FATHER the ABRIE GROOM IRANO Ask MURRAYWOOD FATHER-OF-THE-BRIDE for details.
