CircleWXYZ 173 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Looks like WWJ is adding the logo box. Thought all channel references are gone lol. IMG_4229.mov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMG_4229.mov A few thoughts (probably way too many for such a short clip tbh): 1) I don’t know why they would bother promoting a show that airs on Sundays at midnight (assuming this is a promo). 2) If your station’s on channel 62, I’m not sure I would be eager to make that the prominent brand. I get that their station is harder to find for OTA viewers, but using channel 62 as the primary brand sort of makes your station look cheap (as if you’re promoting the fact that your station is hard to reach). It also goes against the whole “streaming first” thing that they had going for them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynine 286 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) Looks like a paid program (which would make sense considering the time) decided to make their own logo, IMO. EDIT: Considering the show appears to be a Daystar (Christian broadcaster) program, highly unlikely this is official from WWJ. In fact, I’m a little surprised at the liberal use of the Eyemark.

NEOMatrix 1295 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 That promo is impressive for a televangelist show. Usually, promos for televangelists are rudimentary with the most basic of promotions. Whoever is working at Daystar’s promo department needs a raise ASAP if they were able to do the CBS look in-house. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1806 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Daystar's YouTube thumbnails are all high quality design work, it wouldn't surprise me if they did that all in-house and WWJ just went with it. The logo is probably official, because someone had the common sense to refuse to slap anything with the word "News" on this show. Don't get your hopes up that they'll start rolling it out elsewhere... I'd wager this was done specifically to distance this from their news product, regardless of what time it airs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleWXYZ 173 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) Looks like WKBD is about to return to the News scene, and their newscasts will be produced by WWJ. Question is, will their newscasts be called CBS News Detroit or will it be called WKBD News, powered or streaming on CBS News Detroit??

That's if their 10pm news returns to TV50. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, don’t be surprised if WKBD simulcasts the 7-9am streaming block of their morning newscast in the fall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewsTV 146 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) Does anyone know if there is any prediction of the WWJ launching the weekend newscasts? Edited August 4, 2023 by TheNewsTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They keep saying soon. The station seems to be preparing the anchors who were hired to do the weekends by filling in for the regulars whenever they are off. I’m guessing either late this month or at the same time WKBD is set to go independent, which is on September 1st.

This indeed is the case, WKBD will simulcast CBS News Detroit at 7am starting Labor Day. I could see more simulcasts in the weeks to come as the fall season gets underway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleWXYZ 173 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) Thoughts on the new logo: It’s ok. Of course it’s corporate but CBS maintained WKBD’s identity all in the while, ushering in a brand new era with the station.

CircleWXYZ 173 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 As for 62’s lack of coverage on last night’s storms, that was a corporate decision that came from NY. WWJ is a CBS O&O. This is why storm coverage was on WKBD. The ND at both stations is doing a great job. Just dealing with short sided folks at corporate that’s all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, how do you know that this was a corporate decision? It’s not like they were airing national preseason football last night. To me there’s no reason they couldn’t break into programming on both channels. It happens in Oklahoma, for example, all the time. Just saying. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just on the soon to be independent station, WKBD. Edited August 25, 2023 by CircleWXYZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megatron81 179 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Storm coverage should've been on channel 62 and not just channel 50 both should've been wall to wall for the tornados on the east side of the state. Someone should be fired in my opinion. That is a big mistake and epic fail how can anyone take CBS Detroit seriously when they dropped the ball on Thur Night. In West Michigan Wood TV, WXMI Fox17 & WZZM went wall to wall on the tornado in Kent County WWMT didn't cut-in I believe I guess they feel that they be in dead last only watch CBS programming in that area not the news from them. It's like WZZM for Kazoo/BC don't care about them even know they do show us bottom row on their map cut the MI/IN broader counties 20 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, 62 is not the 'sexiest' number for a channel brand...but it's unique. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t want CBS programming preempted so it went to 50. Given 50 is no longer the CW and is now independent, it makes sense. Remember, 62 is a network O&O so it makes sense. The others you mentioned are not network O&O stations. You have to go through a lot of steps to get network programming preempted when you are an O&O. 50 who is also CBS (well owned by CBS) did a great job. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
