NEOMatrix 1295 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I could see WISH taking on some kind of brand like INDY 8 since "Indy" can refer to both Indianapolis and the station's soon-to-be independence. How about "WISH 8" with the tagline "Indy's Indy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who?cares 253 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Can WISH employees apply for jobs at WTTV or will the non-compete clause still be in effect. I've heard that the station is not letting people out of their contracts; and that the non-competes are being enforced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who?cares 253 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 It's the very best they can do, since CBS is the whole reason this switcheroo is taking place. I could see WISH taking on some kind of brand like INDY 8 since "Indy" can refer to both Indianapolis and the station's soon-to-be independence. Indiana's Own, WISH-TV?

Samantha 2876 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Indiana's Own, WISH-TV? Heh, I was thinking that myself. They actually used that slogan in the 80s and 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who?cares 253 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Heh, I was thinking that myself. They actually used that slogan in the 80s and 90s. They had a nice square dance and jingle to go with it. (I wasn't alive in the 80s, and was too young to remember it in the early 90s.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2876 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Well, having the right names is a step to success for any news operation (several of the new Big Three stations of the 90s — WPTY, I'm looking at you — failed to learn that lesson). Knox and Wright are huge gets for WTTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1295 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Does WXIN plan on keeping its 5-7am, Noon, 5-6:30pm and 11pm newscasts or will they all "move" to WTTV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTVNews 1366 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Does WXIN plan on keeping its 5-7am, Noon, 5-6:30pm and 11pm newscasts or will they all "move" to WTTV? Will local news on WTTV and WXIN be the same? Larry Wert (President of Tribune) said a news organization will be built to accommodate local news and local programming on WTTV. "At this stage of planning, I can tell you that there will be a separate focus, news wise, for WTTV," he said. "But we certainly will be resourceful with the current news organization at Fox 59."

TexasTVNews 1366 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 That is the ugliest CBS4 logo I've ever seen. Why can't they use the KCNC logo better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2876 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I think that might be their existing 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frog 392 Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 This TV has moved to WXIN 59.3. WTTV has started simulcasting 4.1 on 4.2. Looks like they're both 1080i. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Muck 4162 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 That is the ugliest CBS4 logo I've ever seen. Why can't they use the KCNC logo better? To be fair, if they used the CBS standardized "4", people would likely complain about Tribune's lack of imagination with logo design that they had to flat-out rip off another station's logo. But that WTTV "4" is pretty ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mre29 1340 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 It is. But that CBS4 logo bites, however. They should take the above logo, slide the 4 over to the right and shrink it down a bit, add the CBS eye, and redo the background so that the torch appears in the space between the eye and the 4.

That sounds like a picture quality disaster in the making. 1080i suffers tremendously with added subchannels. Putting two of them together is going to make CBS and their programming look horrific.

This would'be been a perfect time for WISH to run a CHCH-like news schedule (ok maybe not THAT far but they could've put more local news on 8).
