NYNews 54 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Why does WNWY always have to brag about themselves, when in reality they are the worst? First with: The "most trusted" name in local news. Second: The "best" news team. Third: The Sky Guardian. (With their most recent commerical with Nick's moving hand gestures moving around images, blatantly copying the HP computer commercials.) and Now: The best political team? When they only have one political reporter. : They need a reality check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

showdown 0 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 It's funny, about 10-years ago, WNYW was still a respectable newscast because they actually covered real news. Good stories about subjects people really cared about. But it seems like lately, everytime they fire someone or let someone go, the station seems to slip lower and lower into the abyss! They have become the biggest laughing stock in New York and pretty much around the country. They don't do real news anymore! And as far as that slogan they have about "The Most Trusted NAME" in local news. Puh-leeze! Forgetaboutit! Fox 5 is the biggest waste of time I have ever seen! Judge Judy gets higher ratings!

username23 1 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 The "most powerful name in local news" was originally (from the local perspective) part of the WTVT pilot program for FOX O&O stations, which piloted the FOX O&O graphics, music, voice, and promotional look that eventually spread to all of the FOX O&Os. Each one has taken various aspects from the WTVT look, but it was mandated that they take the studio, music, and graphics, but each was allowed some artistic creativity, such as KTVI who kept the odd 2 line anchor super, or WNYW which dropped the spinning number (the 13 rotates in the bug on WTVT, which is why the 5 always looks so awkward when the spotlights animate). Also the studios were developed around the size of the space. As for the best political, best this and best that, really anyone can say that since it is opinion-based. It's up to the viewers to let the station know that they disagree with the slogan. Notice how there are no claims of #1 made because that can be proven. Additionally, Fox News Channel began the "powerful" slogan nationally and it's spread to the locals so it helps create a uniformity between local and national. The "trusted" slogans are reserved for CNN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
