   Enterprise Now Trek   
      
   UPN confirmed to SCI FI Wire that its prequel series Enterprise will   
   officially change its name to Star Trek: Enterprise with the Sept. 24   
   episode. "It's just a natural tie-in," a UPN source said in an interview.   
   "Everyone calls it Star Trek anyway."   
      
   The network sent a memo to its affiliates on Sept. 23 informing them of the   
   change. "Over the past few weeks our marketing and publicity efforts have   
   been using Star Trek: Enterprise for promotional purposes, and by formally   
   changing the show's title, we will be able to further capitalize on and   
   form a stronger connection to the famous and highly successful Star Trek   
   franchise," Diane Kuri, UPN's director of communications and operations and   
   CBS/UPN affiliate relations, wrote in the memo.   
      
   The new name is one of several changes that UPN has made to the prequel   
   show in an effort to boost ratings as Enterprise begins its third season.
