WOAY Logo Question

BobFrank · Post by **BobFrank** » Wed Aug 29, 2007 5:56 pm

Hello All,

Got a logo question for ya. Is the logo that WOAY uses on the air the red "4" logo or the WTAE-ish black "4"? I ask, because I want to have the right logo on the Wikipedia article. Yeah, WOAY has it's own Wikipedia article

Many thanks for any help given.

Take Care,

Worst on air yet.

The red one is what they use to bug their newscasts.

Their graphic color scheme actually isn't too bad these days. Everything else, OTOH...

I gotta get some newscasts onto Youtube soon...

If you can get a couple on You Tube that would be great. From the way they sound, I guess I am lucky to have WDTV.

As backward as they are, it should read:

WOAY IV

A statement that I never expected to see. Having lived in a place where you could get both stations, I'd have to agree.

You could talk about their former morning anchor, the bikini model.

You all were talking about posting video from WOAY on YouTube, there is actually some already on there.

Now that WOAY weather promo was priceless. Be sure to pay attention to the weather "triva" graphic

OMG! I can not believe they still sign off. Does that really save any money? What time do they sign back on?

Once upon a time, on this very board, (it may have been Jeff Miller?), the history of WOAY was laid out. On the application was written WOAK-TV, but the 'k' looked like a 'y" (I guess they couldn't afford a typewriter) and the rest is history. There is a long history about how their former studios were destroyed, the renovation of the bowling alley complex and so on.

Yes, it was Jeff Miller.

Talk about comprehensive weather....

I liked it.

But I'm weird like that.

I love comprehensive weather. I love having a really good grasp on what's going on with the weather. I'm the first to point out that, despite all the research that says "just gimme the forecast," WGN's Tom Skilling -- who goes on and on and on until he gets cut off by the control room throwing up the forecast graphic (the actual forecast graphics are not under his control) -- is possibly the most popular and almost certainly the most powerful broadcast meteorologist in the country.

Plus, I'll point out, there are many worse things a small-market TV station could fill up its noon newscast with....
