Gdpweatherman 4 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 In case anyone's curious, my TV guide still shows "NBC 33 News" even after the affiliate switch (on 21.2). It would seriously just add more confusion if they don't switch the name, but they must be waiting on the new studio to debut the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdpweatherman 4 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Well, the switch has taken place, but with a few glitches on Dish and DirecTV. Apparently all issues will be resolved by 3pm today and the new studios are on schedule to debut October 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon 37 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 21.2 - NBC33 is currently airing promos that show the new logo.

[GALLERY=media, 930]20160806_060005 by Devon posted Aug 6, 2016 at 9:34 AM[/GALLERY] I think they've actually been using that logo since the switch other than during newscasts. Funny you posted this--I just saw the promo last night. ABC 21 Alive hasn't been doing any promotion for the fall. Also, I really hope this isn't the case, but I believe NBC Ft. Wayne is getting the same studio as CBS in Duluth.

Gdpweatherman 4 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 New promo being ran for Fort Wayne's NBC with the new team: . Linda Jackson (anchor) and Chris Daniels (meteorologist) are being moved from ABC mornings to NBC evenings. Tom Powell (anchor) and Adam Shear (sports) from WSJV in South Bend will join them.

Samantha 2878 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Another bland Quincy logo, too. I can see why "21 Alive" was ditched, but... Quincy can't make a decent, non-generic logo of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Another bland Quincy logo, too. I can see why "21 Alive" was ditched, but... Quincy can't make a decent, non-generic logo of late. The only logo that stood out to me through all these Quincy changes was the WEEK's 25 logo. And only because it looked similar to the WKOW/WREX logos. Other than that, Quincy isn't any different than Nexstar in "recycling" blandish logos. I'm also surprise that the station decided to go super-generic and use the "ABC 21" branding, instead of using one of their other similar brandings used by its sister stations ("21 News" or "WPTA News" (which I thought they were going to use that)). I understand that the "Alive" branding is extremely outdated in today's time. But the "21 Alive" brand still has some resonance with viewers in Northeast Indiana, the same way as "Action News" in Binghamton. If WXIA can still use 11 Alive, why can't WPTA keep it? I can care less how long they've used it. You do have to give kudos to Quincy for pouring in the dough to modernize the acquired stations (something it's previous owner did not do). But i'm not thrilled of stripping legacy brandings away from its stations in the process. I guess they probably cared less about them. How long have WAOW used the "Newsline 9" branding? Surprised they haven't stripped that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's akin to having a lime green row house in Baltimore...while all the others are painted red. (shout out!) The worst part about the Alive branding is you cannot use people over 35 in the promos....you run the risk of them feeling "old"...not "Alive".
