TheRolyPoly 2466 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Watching "Good Day Carolinas" and it seems like they changed the bug to "FOX 46" Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12393-fox-buying-charlottes-wjzywmyt/page/29/#findComment-122786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVNewsLover 782 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Some FOX O&Os are starting to use that for their news promos I think the previous poster is referring to the branding ("Fox 46" versus "My Fox Carolinas"), not the graphics.

rfnc07 0 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 WJZY officially made the jump to Fox 46 Charlotte this morning, renaming the morning show "Good Day Charlotte." This would have been the perfect opportunity to dump "Hey, Hey Carolinas" and go to the O&O music, but it now updated as "Hey, Hey Charlotte". :bang: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12393-fox-buying-charlottes-wjzywmyt/page/29/#findComment-124371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike91 67 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Maybe (hopefully) they will use the O&O music for the evening newscasts. They have also fallen of the MyFox website bandwagon and rebranded their website as fox46charlotte.com Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12393-fox-buying-charlottes-wjzywmyt/page/29/#findComment-124400 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3962 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Calling everything "Fox 46" versus "Fox Carolinas" is a much better idea, considering they wrestled away the affiliation from "FOX Charlotte" and have "FOX Carolina" to the west in Greenville/Spartanburg. They should have done this from the get go.

NewsMaster 226 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Maybe (hopefully) they will use the O&O music for the evening newscasts. They have also fallen of the MyFox website bandwagon and rebranded their website as fox46charlotte.com So that makes KSAZ, KTVU, KDFW and now WJZY with websites no longer using the MyFox template. And they had better use the O&O theme with the evening newscasts. That stupid country theme just doesn't work. Promos? Yes. Actual news music? No. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12393-fox-buying-charlottes-wjzywmyt/page/29/#findComment-124412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson R. 569 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Their Twitter is now @fox46news. I had to refollow it for some reason. Kinda figured this was coming with the app changing over several weeks ago. I don't understand why they didn't get rid of that silly Hey, Hey song with the switch.

TheRolyPoly 2466 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Yet, they still have "FOX 46 Carolinas" on their website as the main logo header and for the "FOX 46 Carolinas Go" app. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12393-fox-buying-charlottes-wjzywmyt/page/29/#findComment-124430 Share on other sites More sharing options...

William1111 41 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 So that makes KSAZ, KTVU, KDFW and now WJZY with websites no longer using the MyFox template. No longer an O&O anymore, but WFXT is showing hints that they're moving away from the MyFoxBoston domain; all the emails mentioned on the newscast are @fox25.com, and reporters/other staff are using the fox25.com domain on their email addresses as well. Strangely enough though, Cox still hasn't taken control of that domain.

Strangely enough though, Cox still hasn't taken control of that domain. Should also be a matter of time before WFXT ditches the O&O look too. I think all the O&O will slowly move away from the MyFox branding, which is probably years overdue.

I think all the O&O will slowly move away from the MyFox branding, which is probably years overdue. What I almost don't get is why KSAZ, which owns and once used the fox10.com domain, chose fox10phoenix.com for its brand. My only line of thinking that makes sense is that they wanted one name for all social media, and they need to distinguish themselves from WALA for some reason (or need to reflect where they are in their social profiles).

tyrannical bastard 3962 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I must say that their newscasts have improved tremendously over the last several months. I've watched the 6 and 10pm shows thus far. Getting the HELL out of that newsroom into a set-like setting has dramatically improved their presentation and pacing, and the product looks much more professional and less like a webcast gone awry. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/entertainment/tv/media-scene-blog/article21389220.html Based on the last ratings, it appears to be working at 10pm, as they're gaining on WCCB (but still getting trounced by WSOC's WAXN show by a 3:1 margin). 6pm is going to be a tough battle against the more-established big 3....and unless WCCB starts imploding, mornings are going to be very tough seeing as everybody except WCNC is competing against them in some form on a local basis during that time period... And I didn't hear a single "Hey Hey Carolinas" until the morning show tease at the end of the show!
