Rusty Muck 4170 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Very interesting. Will be curious to see if this is just a one-station thing with KXTV, or if TEGNA will slowly begin rebranding their stations to reflect the network affiliations. (BTW, WKYC's "Channel 3" branding dates back to when NBC owned the station, and implemented that brand on most of their O&Os at the time.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BTW, WKYC's "Channel 3" branding dates back to when NBC owned the station, and implemented that brand on most of their O&Os at the time.) KYTX is already branded as CBS 19, but other than those two stations, I don't think Tegna will rebrand their stations as "network, channel #". By the way, KXTV's website URL has been updated to abc10.com and the website itself is updated so that their branding and their new slogan "Imagine Better" is on there. Although if, for whatever reason, WFAA rebrands from News 8 to ABC 8, they may as well be sold to ABC by virtue of it being in DMA #5, though I'd prefer it to be rebranded as 8 News.

TexasTVNews 1366 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 First of all, KXTV's new logo is so tacky, wish they get KGTV's logo. Second, Why can't KYTX uses WOIO's CBS 19 logo and re-brand back to CBS 19 Eyewitness News and finally, if WFAA wants to drop the News 8 name; nobody can't force the station. And I still miss their previous news theme, if only they create This is Home (With the Spirit Signature). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCA TK47 274 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 "Imagine better"???? That slogan is horrid. I'm sure that will be the first thing to be dumped. I can imagine a better logo and slogan for them. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine a better logo and slogan for them. Lol The slogan reminds me of Syfy's "Imagine Greater" slogan (maybe, they copycatted it). Though I'm not sure KXTV's new slogan fits as a universal thing, maybe as a non-news promotional slogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewsMaster 226 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 "Imagine better"???? That slogan is horrid. I'm sure that will be the first thing to be dumped. I can imagine a better logo and slogan for them. Lol Reminds me of WKYC's "See The Possible". Hey, at least they thought of something better than CYCCO or L,L,L-B. And that logo is ten thousand times better than the s*** that Sinclair has made for some of its stations recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Maybe there's still some lingering affiliation confusion from when they were CBS? I know that was one reason why KYW went to "CBS 3", even though that was nearly a decade after the affiliation switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Muck 4170 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 And that logo is ten thousand times better than the s*** that Sinclair has made for some of its stations recently. Agreed. Its a simple, clean logo. If a few other TEGNA stations begin utilizing that design, I wouldn't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJClementeFan69 477 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Agreed with the people who say viewers don't care -- they don't and won't be "confused." Really plain looking logo though. It's not offensive looking like some of the recent Sinclair logo redesigns...just basic and uninspired. I guess ABC isn't mandating that stations use the official stylized logo anymore? (Was that ever part of the deal? It seems like a lot of stations were switching from flat or colored variations of it [i.e. WPVI's red ABC ball] to the "official" logo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Muck 4170 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Imagine better will be dumped within a few years like "10 Connects" was because they both suck as slogans. "10 Connects" also served as WTSP's MAIN BRANDING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Bending Over For You". (Rejected Media General branding 2003) And we all know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius22 120 Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 News 10 is still hiding in Bumper crawls during sports and their website's icon is still News 10 when going to abc10.com much like KCRA when they left out a piece of their website from the early 2000s when they were known as THEKCRACHANNEL.com.
