Your objection is noted for the record... It's a sacrifice. Like on Gilligans Island...who do you throw into the volcano to please the Gods? KXTV??? Or Ginger ? The pretty ones always live. KXTV is a dog, and it's on it's way to a Korean BBQ.

Definitely strange. I was never much of a fan. I always thought his brother Marc was much better.

It's "ABC 10 (connect)" this time though! I see what they did there, they put parentheses around "connect", so original. IT'S NOT ANY DIFFERENT. I hate it when companies think one minor change like that makes it totally different.

The KXTV have made and planning to make really says otherwise.

WGN, Chicago; New Year's Eve edition of Nightbeat, 1983:

Boo! Bring back Doppler 4000!

Floyd Kalber retires from WLS, Chicago; 1998: WMAQ, Chicago; news promo, 1995:

Tonight, Pelley's in Washington, for some odd reason. Color me impressed, you can NEVER get him out when there's a major event.

I would also bet..or add that branding changes don't just happen overnight anymore unless you have a lot of money to play with. KXTV may be just doing a slow roll-out based on time, money and available artist or staff. I'm sure the "hub" is pretty busy on other pressing projects and are short staffed also. Trial balloons..to see how people react or repulse. In these time you don't want to be the guy or gal who puts his/ her entire ass on the line with a sudden branding change in a major market unless you know 1000% it's a winner. Take it slow..... They may even have a moleman watching this group reax, We do have some pretty smart people...and good opinions here on graphics and branding.

Testing on a station currently undergoing a branding change is definitely the safest option. It makes a lot more sense.
