WANE: Live Doppler 15 FURY

WPTA (ABC): Your Weather Authority (Formerly Pinpoint VIPIR HD)

WPTA (NBC): Fort Wayne's NBC Weather

WFFT: 3D Local

 

Needless to say, the branding is relatively subpar. But on a random note, are certain brandings like "First Alert Weather" trademarked by certain station groups? Just curious.

From what I know, a station group can try to use a branding and mandate it across the network (for example, Sinclair's "Weather Authority" or Raycom's "First Alert Weather") but it's usually never *actually* trademarked so others can't use it. It's first come first serve I guess.
