Horizon: "Tampa Bay's 10"

News Source: "W-B-N-S"

 

 

 

"W-F-O-R" fits in too or "CBS 4 News"

 

The purpose is this thread though is to figure out what the sig is originally intended to mean. So obviously that's not it.

 

BUT WFOR Commisioned their own custom discs... Seriously.. COME ON

Yeah, but the original package was commissioned by WBNS.

 

Alright I know that and I don't care, stop "police"-ing people. It's ticking others off.

On with the topic...

Decade 90: "California 9"

Ignitor: "NewsChannel 3, WTKR" (I think)

NewsOne: "7 On Your Side"

On Your Side: "Channel 2, On Your Side"(?)

Right Here, Right Now: "Right Here, Right Now" (former KFMB slogan)

Something's Happening Here: "Something's Happening Here" (former WKRN image slogan)

Total Coverage: "Coverage You Can Count On" (somewhat former WPXI slogan, they just added "News" to the beginning when they picked up Flagship)

 

GCI

Many of their signatures come from the image campaigns that accompanied them.

 

Advantage: "WFSB, Eyewitness News"(?)

Catch 5: "You Gotta Catch 5"

It's All Right Here: "It's All Right Here on Channel 9"

NBC Flagship: "Channel 11 News"

Newschannel: "We're Atlanta's Newschannel"

On Your Side: "#'s On Your Side"

The One and Only: "The One and Only Channel 10"

The One for All: "Channel 4's the One for All"

So Good to Turn To: "So Good to Turn To"

Where it All Happens: "Where it All Happens"

The World at Home: "It's All About the World at Home"

 

Edd Kalehoff

We're 4 New York: "We're 4 New York" (image campaign)

 

Shelly Palmer

Your Eye on Austin: "Your Eye on Austin" (former KEYE slogan)

 

And of course, let's not forget "I Love Chicago, Chicago My Home" for the WBBM Dick Marx theme, PNP, Enforcer, and others.

 

Also, "The Spirit of Texas on 8" for TM's "Spirit" and Arnold's "The Spirit" and "Evolution."

 

About Convergence and "Thirteen Means Local News"...

 

In about 1999, WVEC changed their slogan from "Working for You" to "Thirteen Means News" and when they picked up Convergence in 2001, they changed to to "Thirteen Means Local News." It slowly died into 2002 and they retired it in mid-2003 (traces of it remained in their opens/talent bumpers). On New Year's Eve 2003 (or New Year's Day 2004, whatever you prefer... LOL) they brought back their "Spirit of Hampton Roads" slogan from the late 80s that they used up until 1996.

 

Here's a cap of "Thirteen Means Local News" from 2002...

Gari Communications:

Advantage: could also be "W-F-S-B, C-B-S 3" & "W-A-F-F 48 News"

 

Stephen Arnold:

Convergence: For WVII, it could be "A-B-C 7 News"

 

Counterpoint: could be interchanged with WJBF since they also commissioned the package in 1992

(CBS) Enforcer - "N-B-C-Thir-ty-Con-nect-i-cut News"

 

 

I really think we should keep this thread out of the hypothetical. I don't know how many people are going to think these "It fits, so why not?" slogan/sig combos are accurate, but someone probably will.

 

I'd like to see the thread continue with some accurate or at least appropriate meanings.

CBS Enforcer Music Collection- I Love Chicago, Chicago's My Home.

 

Not whatever he had, that is exactly what some people are doing, just making them up. Think about it, and then make it up, there is nothing NBC about CBS Enforcerm thats another thing that made me laugh.

Seize the Day (615): Channel 4 News, Working 4 You

 

It's actually "WSMV, Working for You." I guess you could put the numeral in there, too, but that's not the point. ;)

 

Good call. After listening to it again just now it seems the first part of the sig is 5 notes, not four.
