TNG is on TNN.
Voyager is on various local channels in syndication.
Where is DS9? I thought it better than Voyager, how come no cable network has snatched it up yet?

Last I heard, TNN had obtained the right to broadcast DS9 in (IIRC) 2003, after the current syndication contracts with individual stations have expired.
There are a lucky, precious few who live in cities with stations that show DS9 in syndication. I eagerly await its appearance on TNN. Easily the best Star Trek series, IMO.
TNN has bought the exclusive rights to all three shows, but starting at different times. TNG has been on the network for some time now; I believe DS9 starts some time next year. Voyager isn’t slated for TNN for a couple years after that. I do not know if syndicated DS9 is available to local stations now, as Voyager is. Even if it were, I doubt it’d be very popular; since a station knows it’ll lose the ability to air the show within a year, it probably doesn’t want to spend $$ to promote it and build an audience which is doomed to leave. This is less of a problem with Voyager, the loss of which is so far off. (I also bet that, even if Paramount is making DS9 available at all, they’re pushing Voyager, so that’s what stations end up buying.)

DS9 used to be broadcast on the two WB (I think it was WB…it might have been UPN, wait, I think it was) channels we get with our satellite. One of them is in Denver and the other is in New York, I think.
They showed them through most of the summer and my brother and I were JUST getting really interested in the show when school started and we couldn’t stay up late enough to see them. Now we are allowed to stay up one hour later but it’s not on anymore!
SO EVIL!!!
DS9 is currently being shown in syndication on my local FOX affiliate, after the late local news. I have to say, I am loving being able to watch some of the episodes I missed out on in the first run.
And DS9 was better than Voyager. Though Voyager had a few standout episodes, DS9 was consistently superior.
