CircleSeven 1955 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 KDAF's new website has their new logo and everything. Reminds me a bit of the WSBK's circle 38 logo. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4273-kdaf-the-33/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmediaguy 123 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Talk about ripping off. It's nearly identical! Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4273-kdaf-the-33/#findComment-39604 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude From VA 0 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Not to hijack the thread, but why are all the Tribune stations dropping "CW" from their branding? More yet, why the talk of The CW going under? Their ratings are better than MNT. -Tybois Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4273-kdaf-the-33/#findComment-39621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMA 135 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 There are still quite a few with the CW branding, e.g. WPIX, KPLR, KIAH, KRCW, WTXX, Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4273-kdaf-the-33/#findComment-39627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewitness_news 5 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 It's like putting lipstick on a pig. KDAF becoming "The 33" falls under the file of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". And like I said earlier, it's only a matter of time before ALL Tribune-owned CW affiliates start to drop reference to the CW. CKVU in Vancouver, Canada faced a similar predicament. In the late 1990s they launched their "We have nothing to do with Global" campaign when ditching the Global affiliation. There are still quite a few with the CW branding, e.g. WPIX, KPLR, KIAH, KRCW, WTXX, Don't foget WSFL.

channel2 979 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 And "TV That Gets U?" Just kill me now. They're trying to be hip. But its not working on us, because Tribune has gone out of their minds now. What's next? Rebranding WSFL as "Awesome 39"?

DMA 135 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I don't think they're "out of their minds", they just want to distance themselves from the failing network. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4273-kdaf-the-33/#findComment-39658 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lugnuts6 91 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Good question to ask tho.. IF (and its a big if) the CW goes out of business, what happens to the cable/digital stations like for example here in Lansing/Jackson WLAJ DT 53-2 (Lansing's CW5) do they go off air or what ???

WickedYoungMan 0 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Wow, that's really retro. Suppose it's okay, but not really creative. I've seen some logos from people who tried to get really creative, took it too far and the logo sucked. The News logo looks like something from the 1970s though. Anyone got vid?

mightynine 290 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Will Tribune-owned WNOL in New Orleans be next? While the logo on the website still says New Orleans CW38 - the station is called NOLA 38 about everywhere else. http://www.nola38.com Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4273-kdaf-the-33/#findComment-39665 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't any video because KDAF hasn't used the new logo on air yet. They still have the old news graphics with the CW logo. The news team still says "KDAF 33 News."

CircleSeven 1955 Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Will Tribune-owned WNOL in New Orleans be next? While the logo on the website still says New Orleans CW38 - the station is called NOLA 38 about everywhere else. http://www.nola38.com KRCW's new site is up too. Their url is portlands32.com. But it has the Portland's CW logo on the header. And so did WSFL's site. Their url is wsfltv.sun-sentinel.com but still have the CW South Florida logo on the header. As you can see both of those sites have the same background. EDIT: KPLR's website is updated slightly to match the layout of all the other Trib TV websites.

Blargh 2 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 So far, Tribune's been good about the rebrands, but this logo is terrible. Why is the circle fragmented? Why are they ripping off WSBK? What's with the awful branding? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4273-kdaf-the-33/#findComment-39703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
