I'm pretty sure the 1997 WCNC look was Giant Octopus.

Thanks for the reminder to re-up my "ignore" list.

WTNH launched the WISH-TV look on Monday evening. No surprises here, though there are hints of blue absent from the WISH look. The opens are identical, save for the standard versus slanted 8's and the retained Helvetica "NEWS" in the logo.

It's definitely VideoHelper but I can't think of the track title offhand. I'd go to their site and listen to discs 25-34.

Futura? Hmmm...

Does Trib offer paternity leave? If so, expect Anthony DiLorenzo to be off for a bit too.

I'm pretty sure this is Hothaus given the lower thirds which are a dead giveaway.

One can always hope for Cox to make a play. As a cable operator they're really solid.

Could THIS be why Cox chose right now to announce their sale? They're private but they'd still have to sell to the highest bidder. For those markets and stations I'm sure Sinclair would go nuts.

Production libraries have been known to knock off other companies before. I've seen tracks pulled once the original creator complains. That said, the FirstCom track is much older. It's possible the composer on that did a bit of work for Stephen Arnold too.

Not sure when they launched but WHNS has new graphics: a blue/red version of the WGCL/KPTV look.

I think FOX can still pull off an all-animated Sunday night lineup. That night has always felt different than the rest of the week anyway.

Man it was good to see that Riverside commercial. That's the amusement park I grew up with, just about 15 minutes down the road from me.

WDBJ was a CBS affiliate, right? Just wondering... since none of the shots in the entire promo are from CBS shows (I mean, except Andy Griffiths).
