A happy 69th anniversary to WFAA....

For years, WEWS has been lagging behind WKYC and WJW and, at times, even WOIO. That's why WEWS rebranded the way that it did. Granted, the logo isn't great but only because it's super-generic. However, NewsChannel 5 as a brand wasn't cutting it just like Eyewitness News in 1990. That's why WEWS had to distance itself away and "start over".

Ok your arguement has value and merit, but remember young people don't watch news, or television. Young people are getting news from social media, or watching from their phones, tablet. If they're watching news. They will not sit for an hour or 30 minute newscast. They may watch a minute clip. Now, you can't dismiss the 35-49 demographic viewer that more educated, and more consumer savvy, and income more stable. Also the consumer who grew up watching that same station with their parents/ grandparents. That brand has stand out for generations. Again, you said some dated logo & slogan from 70s serving as their brand, but let look at WSB/Atlanta- Coverage You Can Count On slogan since 1991. #1 station in the market. WCVB/Boston, WATE/Pittsburgh, WISN/Milwaukee the Hearst station have had the same logo since the 70s, but they've just kept their news fresh and kept up with the times. WXYZ/Detroit another Scripps station and the circle 7 been there for along time when it was owned by ABC. Yes, it been modifed but circle 7 is very synonymous with WXYZ and their brand. McDonalds brand is the golden arches it been modifed over the years. Since 1971, Nike had the swoosh, and different versions. A girl with freckles and pigtails is the Wendy's brand. There are some logos that have been with brands for decades now. They've just modifed/refresh with new color, but the brand has kept up with the times. WEWS/Circle 5 and First in Ohio....The first tv station in the state and the market. It maybe old, but it has defined their brand for decades. For Cleveland market the states biggest market. No, it not in the top ten. Des Monies, IA had the same logo on their Channel 5. Whoever said yes to WEWS logo thought it was the cat's meow, but it doesn't define WEWS' brand and looks cheap IMO.

"HTownRush"?? Not sure what to think of that one.

WBTV 1995 news

I'm surprised we're not really sharing Brazil clips, what with their SBT doing Brazillian versions of US network graphics and campaigns.

Wow, it's a WWL "WeatherVision" promo and station ID from...1977!

WEAR in 1991 — looks like someone watched WPLG at some point:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWuYueOhxF8 A WAAY show from August 1993. That same channel has that WINK newscast I’ve been looking for, too, which @SoFloTVClassics already posted on here.

Hashtag and all.

Here it is! I’ve saved this video to my drive so I can re-post if it gets pulled.

Former WCBS weatherman Jeff Berardelli is in for Mr. G on the news at 5.

KHOU is now using their new logo on air and they changed the name of their morning show to #HTownRush.

WNJU posted a video detailing the history of Noticiero 47. Enjoy the rare footage! https://www.telemundo47.com/noticias/local/Telemundo-47_-desde-sus-inicios-a-la-actualidad_TLMD---Nueva-York-493354331.html

Interesting promo from the early 80s for regional news coverage on KTBC, using the Times-Mirror news theme as its background:

The frequency's definitely increased lately, primarily onthesea with Argentina clips. I personally don't mind Canada or some Australia — there's enough US similarity that those go here. (And you know I'm a hound for vintage Spanish-language material from the US and Puerto Rico.) It might be time to move the "International YouTube Findings" from the International board over here, where it could see more activity.

Univision and Telemundo videos can stay on this thread.

So where are you supposed to put Univision or Telemundo newscasts that are from the USA?

And it's even worse off because it's not even locally produced in Washington. They'd have been better off going to WRC or someone local for a newscast.

that's a sleek Ticker for SNF. the scoreboard is even better.

Here’s the new SNF/NFL ticker:

KIAH is launching a 3-hour morning newscast this fall.

Poor Jenny Anchondo wasn't at KDAF very long after bailing from KDFW, wonder what she'll do now. Meanwhile, >yay!< the unwatchable newscasts have finally been put out of their misery. It would be nice if this actually led to a return to a set of traditional newsgathering and presentation, but I guess I won't be holding any breath over it.

Something I've never seen before...instead of a correspondent, like normal, ABC News pulled a local anchor of one of their stations to fill in for Kendis Gibson on the network's overnight newscasts. Terrell Brown got the nod, and is anchoring the 2 hours before his normal shift. It's an odd and costly arrangement, but Brown did anchor CBS News' overnight fare before coming to Chicago. It begs the question, after 4.5 years at the local level, is he itching to get back to a national audience?

WJW/Cleveland in 1989 CBS era WJW/Cleveland in 1993 CBS era

they did... there were other "circle 5" logo variations pitched too... they were passed on... and most of them weren't great... the consultants or whoever said they needed a new brand and that's what happened... maybe... just maybe... tv stations that are struggling to attract young viewers... don't want some dated logo and slogan from the 70's serving as their brand... this happens everywhere... pepsi has done it... mcdonalds... walmart... all for the same reason... to remake their image... hell in the period of time some of these stations have changed their logo once... other brands have changed a dozen times.... oh the times they are a changin'...
