Wisco TV Watcher 11 Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 It's official folks! WFRV has dropped the CBS Mandate. They are calling themselves "Channel 5" once again during the newscasts and advertisements now (the news opens haven't been updated yet). It doesn't look like "Eyewitness News" will be coming back, though. BTW: I assume that WJMN is "Channel 3" now, as well.
caliwxdude 255 Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 CBS Corporation sold WFRV to Liberty Media back in April, so they are no longer under the "CBS Mandate" anymore. Good let's see KPIX do the same! Won't happen...besides, I don't see anything wrong with the CBS 5 branding anyway.
jestbiteme 13 Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 And better GFX (Come on...Arial?!?) I'd take Arial over Square721.

newsie 11 Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Honestly, I think "CBS 5" sounds better. But since WFRV was sold, they're probably going to get rid of every trace of CBS O&O mandates.

Chief-O 34 Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Century Gothic is a lot better than either of those. Too bad WGBA (and practically ever other Journal station) already uses it. The Journal ops actually use Metromedium #2 and Geometric 415. And yeah, WFRV needs new graphics.......
