eyewitness_news 5 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Fox 61 is back!!! https://tribwtic.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/fox61_news_tile.jpg The re-branding from "Fox Connecticut" back to "Fox 61" started with the 9am newscast titled "Fox Connecticut/61 Morning Extra". Included is the video of their rebranding announcement. IMHO WTIC shouldn't have changed it to Fox Connecticut to begin with.
LTSC1980 114 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 They once called FOX CT probably because they are not on channel 61 on cable.
TheRolyPoly 2658 Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Well WTIC is going back to simpler times because 1) Everybody knows the station as "FOX 61" and 2) A lot of people have since dropped cable and satellite and are now using OTA. Therefore, the "FOX 61" brand was needed.
eyewitness_news 5 Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 They once called FOX CT probably because they are not on channel 61 on cable. That reminds me of WFLD, which now goes by Fox 32 rather than Fox Chicago.
SFTV 541 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 It'll be a matter of time then when NBC Bay Area will be NBC 11 again lol
ToriElectra 292 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 That reminds me of WFLD, which now goes by Fox 32 rather than Fox Chicago. Let's not forget when WTXF in Philly was "Fox Philadelphia"- they changed in 95, shortly after Paramount sold them to Fox. Then-GM Roger LaMay was the primary force- and once he left, so did the name.
TheRolyPoly 2658 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 WTVJ used "NBC Miami" for a time when their news department was starting to crash and burn around '09 or 2010.
NEOMatrix 1308 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Any bets that this will spur WVIT to rebrand back to "NBC30"?
johnothy 43 Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 I can't stand how the NBC O&Os use "NBC Chicago" and "NBC Bay Area" etc. To me NBC in Chicago will always be NBC 5. I wish they would go away from this. I always type in nbc5.com for their website.

The CBS O&Os also use this branding for internet and social media.
