RyanMcD29 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Given NYC has been covered extensively, let's roll with my college city in Syracuse's Apparently Fox 68 changed their logo really really recently as I remember it as this Also prior to getting rebranded to YNN and then to Time Warner Cable News and Spectrum News in Time Warner's standardization of the local TWCS news stations, there was News 10 Now in CNY. News 10 served Syracuse, Binghamton, Ithaca, Watertown, the Southern Tier, and Utica, Albany and Adirondacks area had Capital News 9, and Buffalo and Rochester had another one as well.

Some other station logos from Seattle: The '4' in this logo has been in use in some form or another, design-wise, since 1979. (My fave is when they had it in a square from 1987-2000.) The aforementioned current logo used by KING-TV. KIRO-TV's logo. This KCPQ logo replaced one that had been in use since 1991. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With HD, Dish, and streaming systems, the channels aren't ever on their "number" anyway. The numbers still carry meaning to some of us oldtimers. My cable numbers don't match the over-the-air numbers, but I still occasionally catch myself referring to the legacy network channels by their numbers out of habit when referring to local programming. That habit is reinforced by the fact that many local affiliates refer to their newscasts using the numbers, at least some of the time.

Speaking of Q13...it was re-launched in 1980 as a general-entertainment independent station, the then-new owners also owned Sacramento's NBC station, KCRA Channel 3. They had pretty similar logos even then: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to mention that there are also a few stragglers who still use over-the-air TV, which makes the numbers more relevant. As a personal example, my mother's kitchen TV isn't connected to cable.

chrysleraspen08 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I really like this thread since this is something that interests me too. Unfortunately, Canada is very boring when it comes to many of their TV station logos (they either use the same logo for all affiliate station, or are fairly boring independent station logos). Since the closest major US city is Buffalo, we get all of their stations, so since nobody has posted them, here are their logos: NBC- WGRZ Ch 2 Current: Old: CBS- WIVB Ch 4 ABC- WKBW Ch 7 Fox- WUTV Ch 29 Current: Old: (Early 1990's) (1992) Sporting Venue Count (for games): OHL: 19 (28 Total)- 770 games (after 18-19), MLB: 13 (15 Total), NHL: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadmanLA Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 FadedSignals.com is a really good site to check out vintage TV and radio station logos and ads; many of them are from trade magazines like Broadcasting & Cable, among others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up with rabbit ears and separate dials for UHF, so I guess I'm an oldtimer too. "That's the way it's always been" is usually not a good reason to keep doing something. Of course the affiliates refer to themselves using the numbers - at least for now, that's part of their brand. I guess they're stlil broadcast on those numbers on OTA HD, so the FCC probably assigns them. It's reasonable to assume that there's a time in the near future where they'll be obsolete, and they'll just go by "NBC Baltimore" or something like that.
