Montreal 9/04

September, 2004 Trip to Montreal, PQ

WNDU-16
South Bend, IN


We just happened to be traveling through at news time!
WSBT-22
South Bend, IN


The skyline behind the desk makes it look like it's late... but it was still light out!
WSJV-28
Elkhart, IN


Notice the small calls under the "Fox 28" logo.
WNWO-24
Toledo, OH


Not the most exciting logo ever made...
WUPW-36
Toledo, OH


CICO32-32
Windsor, ON


I was pleased to see a decent signal from Windsor this morning as we drove east from Toledo.
WGGN-52
Sandusky, OH


Fortunately we were right near the exit for Sandusky at the top of the hour, and they left this slide up for a long time, giving me multiple chances for a screen grab... this was the best one.
WVIZ-25
Cleveland, OH


No mention of the channel here, but at least the web site is promoted.
WUAB-43
Lorain, OH


Note this is a promo for WOIO-19, but this was definitely channel 43... notice the tiny "WUAB LORAIN CLEVELAND" above the Browns logo.
WQLN-54
Erie, PA


The ID in the lower left says "ERIE-LONDON". I assume they accept Loones for donations-do they adjust their pledge totals based on the daily exchange rate? Check out the lady on the left-she looks THRILLED to be there supporting Public TV!
WFXP-66
Erie, PA


I thought this was a nice promo-although this wasn't the top of the hour ID!
WFXP-66
Erie, PA


Here is the top of the hour slide, complete with calls and DT mention.
WJET-24
Erie, PA


Do they get a bonus when 24 is the Powerball? It would have been cool to see the logo on a red ball, but I guess given the rest of the slide fancy graphics are out of the question.
WNYB-49
Buffalo, NY


Children! Stop fighting! Note the very small calls under the logo.
WNLO-23
Buffalo, NY


Interesting logo-round on the left side but rounded off on the right. Kinda reminds me of one of those Contac capsules... do they still make that?
WGRZ-2
Buffalo, NY


Notice the 'double peacock' image-colorful feathers on the logo and zoomed in as the base of the rectangle. Does their official logo always say WGRZ.COM? Interesting!
WNED-17
Buffalo, NY


Another dual country ID. I wonder how much of their funds come from Canadian viewers.
WKBW-7
Buffalo, NY


The '7 in a circle' is bad enough, but they straightened this one out to make it look even worse... no award for neatest looking logo here!
WCNY-24
Syracuse, NY


Kinda looks like the guy can't read the teleprompter. Where are your glasses? Perhaps the lady over at WQLN can help you find them; she's not busy right now...
WIXT-9
Syracuse, NY


This logo style is used by a number of ABC affiliates in New York.
WKTV-2
Utica, NY


My wife says this newscaster has been around for ages.
WUTR-20
Utica, NY


They used to have a logo similar to WIXT. This was very hard to catch; they stopped doing news and rarely had any semblance of locality during Good Morning America-the :25 breaks were scrolled news articles on the screen.
WFXV-33
Utica, NY


A rather unimaginative logo.
WFFF-44
Burlington, VT


This and the next three captures were grabbed in Plattsburgh, NY. This one's confusing, it says "Fox 44" but it's "WB Time"?
WETK-33
Burlington, VT


I've always had an affinity for state ETV network slides; I wish I had gotten a stronger signal on this one... although I'd rather have seen a nice nature background than the shoddy animation PBS sometimes uses.
WCFE-57
Plattsburgh, NY


Vermont ETV, take note of this ID... nice!
WVNY-22
Burlington, VT


Wow, a three city ID for three different political units and two countries!
CFJP-35
Montreal, PQ


The multipath was severe here as we were in downtown Montreal. I did a little better on the 23rd floor of the hotel where they had a nice outdoor seating area overlooking the city.
CFCF-12
Montreal, PQ


This is one of my favorites from the trip. I've always liked the simplicity of the CTV logo.
CFTM-10
Montreal, PQ


The TVA logo is on the microphone; they also super "TVA" in lower right. We had very nice weather on the trip, it was clear and pleasant on this evening.
CJOH-13
Ottawa, ON


Another nice CTV promo, with local reference and calls!
CITY3-65
Ottawa, ON


This one didn't get out real well; I was lucky to get a readable logo.
CHRO43-43
Ottawa, ON


The new RO! I wonder how the old RO was...
CBOT-4
Ottawa, ON


Time for CFL footbal-so very few breaks. At least they had a CBC logo visible.
CFGS-34
Hull, PQ


I'm not sure if the sheep is the standard logo. It's not baaaaad...
CHOT-40
Hull, PQ


Nice to see some calls!
CICE16-29
Pembroke, ON


We were very near Pembroke at ID time... good deal!
CHLF13-17
Pembroke, ON


Note the logo in upper left, rather than the standard lower right.
CHCH6-32
North Bay, ON


We spent the night in North Bay; there wasn't much over the air-this was the strongest signal.
CBLFT2-13
Sudbury, ON


A very simple slide-and in French too-c'est magnifique!
CFGC-11
Sudbury, ON


Global's got it-now which finger is he holding up?
WPBN-7
Traverse City, MI


More logo and less 50 please!
WGTQ-8
Sault Ste. Marie, MI


We weren't very far from the Sault when I took this-the local signals were poor, but then again they were all VHF and the car was speeding westward on a highway carved from thick forest.
CHBX-2
Sault Ste. Marie, ON


Note the CTV microphone, but it's MCTV News.
WWUP-10
Sault Ste. Marie, MI


Another problematic signal.
WFQX-33
Cadillac, MI


The good stuff is down in the fine print.
WGTQ-8
Sault Ste. Marie, MI


A simple logo-I like it!
WNMU-13
Marquette, MI


Marquette signals were non-existent in the city itself; I couldn't get anything. This was caught west of town but really wasn't all that great. Too bad; I like the logo and was hoping for a better capture.
WLUC-6
Marquette, MI


Really weak, but it's the best I could do... "Someplace Special" is what it says to the left of the bottom of the 6. I wished their tower was someplace closer!
WJMN-3
Escanaba, MI


Reminiscent of WSTM, but much better I think.
WWUP-10
Sault Ste. Marie, MI


Interesting that this market has two logos with ampersands in them.
WJMN-3
Escanaba, MI


Most of WJMN's programming carries the WFRV-5 logo instead.
WLUC-6
Marquette, MI


Wow, this is a fun logo-it looks cheap, but I like it!
WLUC-6
Marquette, MI


I think it's safe to say she didn't get this job because of her looks.
WLUC-6
Marquette, MI


The full logo for your admiration. If the top of the 6 were a bit shorter, this could be even better!
WLUC-6
Marquette, MI


Something for everyone on this slide-logo, UP map, translators. The bottom part covers up an older graphic with no mention of the DTVs. The animation is such that you see the old information first and then it's covered up. A small market special!
W32CB-32
Ironwood, MI


Interesting; this is a translator for a station 2 states away!
KQDS-21
Duluth, MN


Of all the Fox logos, I think this is one of the best looking.
KBJR-6
Superior, WI


Note KRII-11 is included on the slide, although there's no mention of it's channel number, unless you consider the I's to be 1's!
KDLH-3
Duluth, MN


Of course KDLH-DT isn't on 3...
WDIO-10
Duluth, MN


He looks just like I'd picture a lifelong Minnesotan... a very hardy type with a voice to match!
WDSE-8
Duluth, MN


Another delightful nature ID. Too bad it was pouring rain outside; we didn't get to see anything this nice!
KTCI-17
St. Paul, MN


I caught an ID during a break from non-stop weather. I wonder how many people watch their all-weather format.
KTCI-17
St. Paul, MN


More typical programming from them during the daytime. Very unique to say the least (at least for over-the-air broadcasting).
KSTC-45
Minneapolis, MN


Note the Y in FORTY is also the 4 in 45. Clever, although I think using KSTP's 5 with the FORTY looks odd. At least make the 5 the same font as the 4!
WFTC-29
Minneapolis, MN


For a simple logo, I kind of like this one... I think it's the font of the 29 I like; it reminds me of the good ol' days of logos!
KSMQ-15
Austin, MN


You never know... YOUR riding mower could be the next lawn equipment featured on the KSMQ ID!
KAAL-6
Austin, MN


The car engine was playing havoc with the signal.
KIMT-3
Mason City, IA


Interesting, it's North Iowa but Southern Minnesota. Why did Iowa lose the 'ern'? Another job for the WQLN lady...
KXLT-47
Rochester, MN


Looks like they're sneaking an extra 5 minutes into their 9 pm newscast!
KYIN-24
Mason City, IA


I wouldn't mind if IPTV shipped the little astronaut to Uranus...
