bostonmediaguy 123 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Beginning Monday, WWJ/Detroit drops the 'CBS Detroit' branding to become 'WWJ-TV.' In addition, they will begin producing local weather updates during 'The Early Show' and at 11pm, leading into 'Two and a Half Men.' http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080101/ENT10/801010343 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blargh 2 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 ...and eventually a complete news department! I doubt it. If they were too cheap to do it before, I doubt they'll do it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrtraveler01 737 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 WWJ is interesting. They are committed to more local coverage even without a news department. Recently they aired a news special on Michigan's ties to China economically and culturally. You can watch it online. It is going to be interesting to see how it works. Also in terms of them starting a news department. I can tell that the station director is not interested in anyway starting a news department. Their slogan for their 11 PM block is "no news is good news". Enough said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtraveler01 737 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 New logo now on their website. I'm not impressed by it. Also it has a new slogan, "Driven by Detroit". What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmediaguy 123 Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Here's a page with a better look at the logo: http://wwjtv.com/cbseyedeals Not bad, I suppose. Anything that brings a local brand back is better in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey 779 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 I think it looks ugly and a few decades too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blargh 2 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Absolutely terrible. The slogan is bad too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbc9houston 21 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 WWJ is interesting. They are committed to more local coverage even without a news department.

Their slogan for their 11 PM block is "no news is good news". Enough said. Their news special is "Michigan Matters" which airs on Saturdays at 11 a.m. I wonder if they could make it a daily program in the way KCET and KOCE does with "L.A. Life and Times" and "Real Orange", respectively. Nevertheless, it’s just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKyuubi 0 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I think it looks ugly and a few decades too late. Absolutely terrible. The slogan is bad too. I actually disagree, it's kinda nice, goes good with the whole theme of Detroit. But hey, at least it's not a clone of WBZ's logo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blargh 2 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 So you're telling me that ugly mess is better than something like, say, this: I quickly mocked that one up and it easily beats the current WWJ logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I actually disagree, it's kinda nice, goes good with the whole theme of Detroit. But hey, at least it's not a clone of WBZ's logo! There's a difference. The WBZ logo is nice, easy to read, and works in a lot of situations. This is just a throwback to 1970s station logos. And not the good ones.
