Between “Hometeam”, “(my)43 the Block,” “CLE43”, and “UPN/my/CW 43”, I don’t think Raycom has put any effort into branding WUAB, or even WOIO for that matter. Honestly, it’s nice to see Gray trying. "43 The Block" couldn't have come at a worse time. They had just lost the Indians and Cavs to cable and WBNX was starting to clean their clocks in the ratings by smartly investing in programming. WUAB had been burned in the past by some deals (notably Webster reruns) but managed to get some good syndication as well. WUAB's strategy at the time? Bulk up on informercials and create a bunch of amateur comedy-mercials with comedian-hosts like Mike Polk. Even he lampooned these efforts in WUAB's 50th anniversary special! https://youtu.be/pKW-7sccPDY?si=wXH-3IGg7AZEDKbf&t=1242 3 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/58/#findComment-305445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylerSC 61 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago WHNS in Greenville-Spartanburg is overdue to update to the Gray graphics package. They are still using old Meredith graphics. And will they follow the Gray trend and remove FOX Carolina from their branding? They haven't used Channel 21 in years.

I just have to wonder if GrayOne has existed alongside a Nexstar station (like WSPA) that looks very similar. WSPA's is modified heavily, but it uses practially the same fonts as GrayOne and others (like WYTV, WHTM, WYOU/WBRE, WIVB, etc...)
