first on fox 18 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 One of the most persistent local-TV rumors of early 2009 has been confirmed: KWGN-TV/Channel 2 is being rebranded as "The Deuce" on or about March 30. http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/2009/03/channel_2_general_manager_denn.php More: http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/2009/03/channel_2_general_manager_denn_1.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmySand9 0 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I think they need to drop "The Deuce". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstNews8 13 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Wow... Im stunned.... that is honestly the worst branding I have EVER heard of... they had a nice brand before.... great graphics.... This is not hip or anything like that... honestly, in an economy like this, with the way commercial sales are down... the last thing you want to do is TEST your branding.... I think it is just plain S-T-U-P-I-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tw-804 190 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 In my opinion, Tribune should leave the brandings like it was before. But I still like WPIX's branding even though I still say "CW11". Oh, and "The Deuce" was the nickname for Second Street in Jackson Ward, a historically African-American neighborhood in Richmond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED2 144 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 what ever happened to just "Channel 2"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
first on fox 18 Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 what ever happened to just "Channel 2"? Not hip enough, you square. My 20 year old brain can't relate to it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazynetjunkie 34 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 So what's the newscast going to be called? "The Deuce News", "Deuce 2 News", or "News 2 Deuce On"? I wonder if this is some sort of strategic way of commiting station suicide.. It's great that we have another old station GM guy (Leonard) thinking he's being "hip" and "cool". I wonder how many pot circles went on in his office.. I see the direction he's going with the station. I just don't think he's the right guy to be running the station that direction.

tyrannical bastard 3541 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 what ever happened to just "Channel 2"? I would have preferred "number two" But the way the industry's going...this name fits perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

channel2 891 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 KWGN has been getting worse ever since Local TV took over. Tribune's just going further down the toilet. And even worse, KWGN's pulling a KPLR and moving their longstanding 9PM news to 7PM, and making it like an infotainment show! :rofl!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewitness_news 5 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 What is this world coming to!? Didn't KWGN use to be a superstation for the Rocky Mountain region and some parts of the West? Now only time will tell if KWGN moving their 9pm newscast to 7pm would be a smart move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link 3 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Why not just use "KWGN" as the branding or "Denver's 2" like it used to be?? It would be better. It sounds weird "Daybreak on the Deuce" and "News on the Deuce"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link 3 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I'd also like to add--isn't KWGN the more established station in Denver with higher ratings with their 9pm newscast? I don't see why KWGN's 9pm broadcast should have been moved to accomodate KDVR's. I think they should have left things on Channel 2 intact and put the 7pm news on KDVR with Fox primetime 8pm-10pm then have KDVR do a 10pm newscast following Fox primetime.
