lugnuts6 91 Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 At Midnight, WWMT TV West Michigan's Channel 3 has changed their news branding Gone is "NEWS 3, WHERE NEWS COMES FIRST" Now its "WEST MICHIGAN'S NEWSCHANNEL3" Music is Frank Gari's "CBS Enforcer" New bug,music and graphics, I have some examples from their webcast of the ch-ch-ch-changes,as well as the old look ..Comments???
mobilene 2 Posted January 1, 2007 Posted January 1, 2007 Seems kind of pointless. Are they offering any new services that would make "Newschannel3" make better sense than "News 3"? "Newschannel" seems to be a fading brand in the industry; "News" seems to still have tooth. Of course, I think they should never have changed calls 20+ years ago from WKZO. jim
lugnuts6 91 Posted January 1, 2007 Author Posted January 1, 2007 I agree with you, they should NEVER have dumped the WKZO name, but I guess when Fetzer ..uh...hang on fer a moment *searching* ahh found it ! Hope this brings back some memories

I must say I'm a fan of the logo. It's different, it's off the wall, and it's orangish yellow. Hope it does a fun little dance in the open or soething
lugnuts6 91 Posted January 1, 2007 Author Posted January 1, 2007 Uh, should explain a bit, for those who remember WKZO TV,I found the old Fetzer logo from my grandma's old Tiger yearbooks... WKZO was technically the Tigers Flagship for awhile if all recall From what ive seen of the new bug on its newscasts , it turns left to right like WDIV's
mobilene 2 Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 I can still hear the old jingle in my head: "News active people, TV AcTiVe 3!" Whatever that was supposed to mean! (I used to watch WKZO and WOTV [when that meant Channel 8] from my grandparents' home near Dowagiac when I was a kid in the late 70s and early 80s.)
lugnuts6 91 Posted January 2, 2007 Author Posted January 2, 2007 Joe: "News acTive People..News acTiVe 3" was a promo spot for WKZO when it changed its news name from WKZO-TV 3 to the most popular of all channel 3 slogans news acTiVe3 on WKZO acTiVe 3
KKyuubi 0 Posted January 2, 2007 Posted January 2, 2007 What the hell does that mean ??? News acTiVe 3 ahem? clever pun anyone? From what ive seen of the new bug on its newscasts , it turns left to right like WDIV's No, but it does animate though (has a little shine effect) from what I saw, doesn't tilt though.
