WXET (Channel 31) (date: Aug 12 2008)
WXET is a fictional television station located in Merriweather, broadcasting on channel 31. The station is currently affiliated with The CW but has undergone several affiliation changes since its inception. WXET was launched on May 12, 1992, originally as a FOX affiliate, then transitioning to UPN in 1995 before ultimately joining The CW network in 2006.

History
Launch and Early Years (1992-1995)
WXET began broadcasting on May 12, 1992, as Merriweather’s first FOX affiliate. The station was founded by a group of local entrepreneurs aiming to provide viewers with a diverse lineup of entertainment options. In its early years, WXET gained popularity for its strong local programming, including news segments and community outreach initiatives.

During its initial affiliation with FOX, WXET aired popular shows such as The X-Files, Beverly Hills, 90210, and The Simpsons, helping to establish the station as a competitive player in the Merriweather television market.

Transition to UPN (1995-2006)
In 1995, WXET switched its affiliation to UPN, following the network’s launch earlier that year. The transition was part of a strategy to reach a broader audience by aligning with UPN's programming, which targeted younger viewers and showcased shows such as Star Trek: Voyager, Moesha, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

During its time as a UPN affiliate, WXET continued to produce local news coverage, and even expanded its local programming to include a range of public affairs and lifestyle shows tailored to the interests of the Merriweather community.

Affiliation with The CW (2006-Present)
In 2006, UPN ceased operations, and WXET became a charter affiliate of The CW network. With the rebranding, the station adopted a new logo and revamped its programming slate to include a mix of established hits, such as Gilmore Girls and America’s Next Top Model, alongside new series like Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries.

The station has also continued to invest in local journalism, expanding its news division and producing community-focused content that resonates with viewers in Merriweather. WXET has received several awards for its news coverage and community service, cementing its role as a trusted source of information in the market.

The station does not use the main CW branding but rather uses their own branding, which is a mix of the main CW branding and S4C's "Dragon" themed idents, These are listed below:

Dragon Man: A man dressed as a dragon in a mountainous region blows fire.
Dragon Standard: On different angles, fire is spreading around some sticks. The screen then proceeds to show the whole object, which is a floating red standard in the shape of a dragon.
Scissors: A pair of red scissors open up and blow an orange piece of tissue paper to represent fire.
A short version had a closer view of the scissor's blades, which has smoke coming from it.
Kite: A kite made to look like a dragon floats around in the sky.
Standpipe: A standpipe is turned on and emits fire.
Extinguisher: A sentient fire extinguisher sees a flame and proceeds to put it out.
A short version had a closer view of the extinguisher's pressure gauge, which is constantly moving.
Pencil: A red pencil draws fire on the floor. Then, the screen shows a close view of the pencil, which has the S4C flame emblem on it.
Fan: A fan is located near an open window on a room, working. Eventually, it blows fire rather than wind.
Gas Pump: The upper part of a gas pump rotates and then blows fire. The screen then shows the entire object.
Horn: A yellow horn, likely over a table, blows fire.
Bin: The upper part of a pedal bin is seen moving around a bit. Garbage falls from above, which the bin catches, then burns away.
Iron: A flatiron slides through, ironing a red table cloth. It backs and lifts up, emitting steam from its flat, then lays down and its buzz lights up while emitting the steam.
Vacuumer: Multiple shots of a vacuum cleaner in front of the curtains moving its tube around, with audience clapping heard throughout.
Shower: The scene opens up to a bathroom with someone seemingly showering. The curtains are pulled to reveal a red shower head, looking around frightened. It blows fire and pulls the curtains back.
Magic Trick: A wand taps a red magic hat on a blue table, preparing for a trick. After the camera pans out and the wand flies away, fire blows out of the hat, followed by confetti.
A variation of this has yellow flowers pop out of the hat.
Food Press: In front of a blue kitchen wall, a food press blows fire as it presses.
Lawnmower: Multiple shots of a lawnmower in action on a big grass field, which moves slightly erratically.
Speaker: A loudspeaker hops in and blasts breakbeat, then turns towards the camera and blows fire. It then hops out and later appears in the background.
Egg: An egg is situated on a checkered table in front of a white wall. It blows its top and fire comes out of it, followed by red smoke.
Stapler: A pink stapler rushes in and notices a red textile bar, which it catches. Struggling a bit, it tears the bar from its original place, then flails it around as if it were its tounge.
Mouse: A computer mouse rushes through the scene multiple times, then gets stuck and does escape, but also reveals its connector tail. The mouse then shakes and wiggles its tail.

These are used as station IDs. Promos have several gray bars going down the screen overlaid over a clip of a show, then the show name and date fade in, and so does the WXET logo.

Hey everyone! I’ve been catching up on WXET’s shows lately and noticed some changes. Can anyone tell me how long the current president of WXET has been in charge? Also, what syndicated shows are currently airing on the station? I used to watch some classics while growing up, and I'm curious if they still have them on!

Hey MerriweatherTVFan! Great to see other fans of WXET out here. As for your first question, the current president of WXET has been in office since the switch to The CW in 2006, so it’s been about 2 years. They’ve really focused on expanding local programming since then, which is awesome!

Regarding syndicated shows, WXET features a variety of popular daytime talk shows and classic sitcoms. Some of the classic sitcoms I know they air include Friends and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. It’s a nice mix for those of us who enjoy some nostalgia!

Hey, I can help with that! The current president has definitely brought a fresh perspective since the rebranding to The CW. I believe they’re focused on engaging more with the local community.

As for syndicated shows, I’ve seen them air The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Dr. Phil during the day, and they also have some classic cartoons in the mornings, which is a treat for those of us who grew up watching them. Definitely a diverse lineup!

Hi there! Just adding my two cents! Yes, it’s true that they’ve been aiming for a greater local presence, which has made a noticeable difference in their broadcasts.

About the syndicated shows, I think they also feature some game shows like The Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune. It’s nice to have those familiar faces during the day. I've got them on while I’m doing chores!

I love WXET’s lineup lately! They seem to have adjusted well after becoming CW affiliates. It’s also great that they keep airing the old favorites. If you’re interested, you could check their website for a complete schedule of all their syndicated shows. They update that pretty regularly!

Hey everyone! Thanks for the great info on the programming and the current president! I have another question—how long have the dragon-themed IDs been in use on WXET? I remember the switch to the CW branding included those cool dragon visuals, but I’m not sure when they actually started using them. Anyone know the timeline on that? Thanks!

Hey MerriweatherTVFan! I can help with that! The dragon-themed IDs were introduced shortly after WXET became a charter affiliate of The CW in September 2006. They’ve been using those unique visuals since then to give the station a distinct identity. It’s great to see how they’ve incorporated that theme into their branding—I think it really stands out in the market! Let me know if you have any more questions!

Yomiuri Telecasting Company: Background to the launch
In 1953 , prior to its launch in Tokyo, Nippon Television Network Corporation (hereafter referred to as "NTV") submitted an application for a broadcasting license in Osaka to the Radio Regulatory Commission . However, at the time, there were only two radio waves allocated to the Osaka area, and licenses were given to two stations, NHK Osaka Broadcasting Station and Osaka Television Broadcasting (OTV, now Asahi Television Broadcasting Corporation ), and the license for "NTV Osaka Broadcasting Station" was rejected.

The reason for the rejection was that "Nippon Television represents the Tokyo area, and broadcasting in Osaka would be 'crossing borders.'" [ note 2 ] Matsutaro Shoriki , head of the Yomiuri Shimbun and Nippon Television , applied to the Radio Regulatory Commission to establish regional broadcasting stations in Sapporo , Nagoya , and Fukuoka in addition to Osaka, but this was also rejected for the same reason . [ note 3 ]

At that time, the Yomiuri Shimbun had expanded into Osaka, and was competing fiercely with the Asahi Shimbun , the Mainichi Shimbun , and others in sales. Since Osaka Television Broadcasting was a television station established by the Asahi Shimbun, the Mainichi Shimbun, and the Asahi Broadcasting Corporation and New Japan Broadcasting (now the Mainichi Broadcasting System), Tsutomu Mitsuo , the president of the Osaka Yomiuri Shimbun (now the Yomiuri Shimbun Osaka Headquarters) at the time , was convinced that "in order to increase circulation against the two newspapers, we need to have our own affiliated television station," and the Yomiuri Shimbun also decided to create a television station with investment from the Kansai business community, centered around the Osaka Yomiuri Shimbun. Tsutomu was the representative promoter and gathered promoters from the business community.

The name of the broadcasting station was " Shin -Osaka Television Broadcasting Co., Ltd. " (abbreviated as NOTV = New Osaka Television . It was called " No-Tele "), and the founding general meeting was held in February 1957. The company building was constructed by borrowing most of the grounds of the Tenman Betsuin temple of the Otani-ha Shinshu sect in Iwai-cho , Kita-ku, Osaka (now Higashi-Tenma ) .

In October 1956, they submitted an application for a broadcasting license to the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications. In October 1957, a provisional license was issued to Shin-Osaka Television Broadcasting as a quasi-educational station (Channel 10, JOIX-TV). The company held its founding general meeting on February 12, 1958, and on August 1 of the same year, the company changed its name from "Shin-Osaka Television Broadcasting" to "Yomiuri Telecasting Co., Ltd." (abbreviated as YTV, nicknamed Yomiuri Television). On the 28th of the same month , it opened as the second commercial television station in the Kinki region, completely transferring all of the Nippon Television programs that had been networked with OTV.

The opening of Yomiuri Television resolved the dissatisfaction of sponsors of Nippon Television Network Corporation's programs, which had not been broadcast in the Kinki region due to OTV's cross-network policy. [ Note 4 ] This also contributed greatly to the increase in circulation of the Yomiuri Shimbun in western Japan .

Among the commercial television stations headquartered in Osaka (Osaka-based television stations), it is the only one that does not have capital from a Kansai private railway , and its capital is composed of Yomiuri Shimbun Group and Nomura Securities affiliates . [ Note 5 ]

You got it, BroadcastBuff92! It looks like TV Yan and Telepochi are the ones coming over! I heard they’ll be making special appearances in local events and even on some broadcasts. It’s such a fun way to engage viewers and bring a taste of Japanese culture to Merriweather!

User 4: LocalNewsJunkie

That sounds fantastic! I remember reading about TV Yan and Telepochi and how they have become beloved mascots in Japan. This could be a great way for WXET to connect with the audience and bring some fun to their programming. I hope they get to participate in some community events while they’re here!

How exciting! My kids are going to love this! I’m definitely looking forward to seeing the new mascots on WXET. Hopefully, they’ll have some fun merchandise or activities for children when they make their appearances. This should really liven things up!

I think it’s a great move by WXET! The combination of local charm with Japanese mascot culture sounds like a winning idea! Can't wait to see how the station incorporates them into their programming. Stay tuned, everyone!

Hey folks! I’ve been thinking about this mascot news, and I have to wonder—does this mean WXET will shed its current look? With TV Yan and Telepochi joining the team, could we see a rebranding or a refresh of the station's graphics and overall vibe? It’ll be interesting to see if they integrate those fun elements into the current station identity. What does everyone think? Should they keep the existing branding or go for something new?

User 2: BroadcastBuff92
Posted on September 5, 2008

Great question, MerriweatherTVFan! I actually came across some insider info that suggests WXET is planning to refresh its look along with the introduction of TV Yan and Telepochi. They want to blend the fun, vibrant style of the mascots with their existing branding to create a unique identity that appeals to both local viewers and fans of the mascots.

Rumor has it that we could see some new graphics and bumpers coming in soon, possibly incorporating the colors and themes associated with the mascots. It sounds like they’re aiming for a more playful and engaging atmosphere, while still keeping their core identity intact.

I think it’s a smart move, especially if they want to draw in viewers with this new partnership. Can’t wait to see how it all unfolds!

Hey everyone! With the arrival of TV Yan and Telepochi, I’ve been curious about something. Does anyone know what date the dragon-themed IDs will leave the air? It seems like there’s going to be a lot of changes at WXET, and I’m hoping to catch the last glimpse of those dragons before they potentially make way for the new look!

User 2: LocalNewsJunkie
Posted on September 6, 2008

Great question, MerriweatherTVFan! I heard that the dragon-themed IDs are set to leave around the end of this month—specifically, September 30th. They want to make a big splash with the new mascots and branding starting in October. So, if you want to see those dragons in action one last time, make sure to tune in before the change happens!

User 3: OsakaOtaku

That’s just a little over three weeks away! I’m kind of sad to see the dragons go since they were such a fun part of WXET’s identity. But I’m also excited to see how TV Yan and Telepochi will influence the station's look. It’s definitely going to be interesting to see how they blend the new mascots into the existing programming!

Thanks for the info, LocalNewsJunkie! I’ll make sure to catch the dragons before they fly off for good. I’m excited for the new changes, but I’ll definitely miss those unique IDs. Let’s hope they give us something just as fun with the new mascots!

Posted on September 10, 2008

Hey everyone! With all the buzz about the upcoming changes at WXET, I’m curious—has anyone noticed if the website is already ditching the red? Given the transition to TV Yan and Telepochi as the new mascots, I wonder if they’re starting to update the site’s color scheme to reflect the new branding. Anyone checked it out lately?

User 2: BroadcastBuff92
Posted on September 10, 2008

I took a peek at the website earlier today, and you’re right, MerriweatherTVFan! It seems like they’re slowly moving away from the heavy use of red. The new homepage features some brighter, more vibrant colors that definitely align with the fun vibe of TV Yan and Telepochi.

Additionally, I noticed some graphics are starting to incorporate the characters, which is exciting! But it’s still a bit of a mix with the old branding at the moment. A complete overhaul might take a bit longer, though.

User 3: LocalNewsJunkie

That’s interesting to hear! I think a fresh look will help draw in more viewers, especially with the new mascots taking center stage. It’s great to see them starting to embrace that change. I hope they keep updating the site to fully reflect their new identity soon!

User 4: OsakaOtaku

I haven’t checked the website today, but I’ll definitely look later! I think moving away from the red could open up a lot of creative possibilities for their branding. I’m curious about how the new mascots will be integrated across all platforms, including the website. It’ll be fun to see how it all evolves in the next few weeks!

User 1: MerriweatherTVFan
Posted on September 10, 2008

Thanks for the updates, everyone! I’m glad to hear they’re making progress on the website. I’ll keep an eye out for further changes. It sounds like WXET is really committed to refreshing its look, and I’m excited to see the final result!

Forum Thread Title: Changes to WXET’s Promo Style?

User 1: MerriweatherTVFan
Posted on September 12, 2008

Hey everyone! With all the upcoming branding updates at WXET and the new mascots coming in, I have to ask—do you think the grey/red promo style is ending as well? It seems like there’s a shift in direction with the new mascots, and I’m curious if their promotional style will also change to reflect that. What do you all think?

User 2: BroadcastBuff92
Posted on September 12, 2008

I’ve been wondering the same thing, MerriweatherTVFan! The grey/red promo style has been around for a while now, and it definitely seems like they are heading for a complete refresh with the new mascots. I wouldn't be surprised if they opt for something more vibrant and playful that fits the personalities of TV Yan and Telepochi.

I think it’s pretty common for stations to revamp their promo styles when they’re going through a major change, especially when introducing new characters!

User 3: LocalNewsJunkie
Posted on September 12, 2008

Absolutely! A lot of stations reimagine their promos during branding changes. If WXET really wants to showcase the fun and lively energy of the new mascots, they’ll likely want to move away from the more muted grey and red palette.

I expect we’ll see some exciting new graphics or video styles that better align with the renewed identity. Hopefully, they keep us in the loop on when these changes will take effect!

User 4: OsakaOtaku
Posted on September 12, 2008

Good points, everyone! I wouldn’t be surprised if they roll out a new promo style alongside the launch of the new mascots in October. It would be a great way to create buzz and re-energize their audience. I’m excited to see what creative direction they take with it!

User 1: MerriweatherTVFan
Posted on September 12, 2008

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, everyone! It really does feel like WXET is gearing up for something special with all these changes. I can’t wait to see how everything unfolds, including their new promo style! Let’s keep an eye on it together!

Posted on September 15, 2008

Hey, everyone! I just saw the new promo for Two and a Half Men airing on WXET, and it looks like we finally have our answer about the promo style! They've completely revamped it—no more grey/red!

The new promo features bright colors and fun graphics that really capture the playful vibe of TV Yan and Telepochi. Instead of the usual grey bars, they’ve got colorful animations and the mascots making brief appearances in the graphics. It’s much more engaging!

I think this is a great sign of how they’re embracing the new branding and moving away from the older style. What do you all think about the change?

User 3: LocalNewsJunkie
Posted on September 15, 2008

That’s awesome news, BroadcastBuff92! I love that they’re incorporating the mascots into the promo and revamping the visuals. It definitely sounds more aligned with the fun atmosphere they’re aiming for, and I think it’ll really appeal to viewers, especially younger ones.

I’m glad they’re making this transition and showing that they’re ready to innovate. I can’t wait to see more promos with this new style!

User 4: OsakaOtaku
Posted on September 15, 2008

I’m so excited about this! It feels like WXET is transforming into a station that reflects a more vibrant and family-friendly environment. The new promo style sounds like a big improvement, and I can already picture how lively the upcoming broadcasts will feel! Can’t wait to see everything else they have planned!

Thanks for the update, BroadcastBuff92! It sounds like WXET is really embracing this new chapter. I’m thrilled to see the colorful promos and how they incorporate TV Yan and Telepochi. It’s going to make the viewing experience so much more enjoyable! Looking forward to seeing more new content as we head into October!

User 1: MerriweatherTVFan
Posted on September 16, 2008

Hey everyone! With all these exciting updates happening at WXET, I’m curious about one detail—what style does the 404 error page use currently? Has it ditched the mouse dragon already, or is it still holding on to that design? I caught a glimpse of the new website, and I’m wondering if they’ve revamped that part too or if it has remained the same. Anyone checked it out?

User 2: LocalNewsJunkie
Posted on September 16, 2008

Great question, MerriweatherTVFan! I just happened to visit the site recently, and I can confirm that they have indeed changed the 404 page! They've moved away from the mouse dragon design, which was so popular, and now feature a fun, colorful graphic with TV Yan and Telepochi!

The new 404 page has a playful message letting visitors know they’ve ventured off course, and it really fits the overall change in vibe that WXET is aiming for. It’s a nice little touch that keeps the new branding consistent across the entire site.

User 3: BroadcastBuff92
Posted on September 16, 2008

That’s awesome to hear, LocalNewsJunkie! I think updating the 404 page to reflect the new mascots is a great marketing move. It shows they’re embracing the new identity in every aspect of the website, and it makes the whole experience feel more cohesive. I love how they’re keeping things lively and engaging!

User 4: OsakaOtaku
Posted on September 16, 2008

Ooh, I can’t wait to see it! A 404 page with TV Yan and Telepochi sounds much more inviting than the previous design. It’s great that WXET is paying attention to these details as they rebrand. It’ll definitely create a more cheerful atmosphere, even when someone hits a dead end on the site.

User 1: MerriweatherTVFan
Posted on September 16, 2008

Thanks for the updates, everyone! It’s great to hear that WXET is making these changes across the board. I'll have to check out the 404 page myself and see how the new design looks. It’ll be interesting to see how they keep integrating TV Yan and Telepochi into different aspects of their branding!

Forum Thread Title: WXET's Transition to Digital: What's Next?

User 1: MerriweatherTVFan
Posted on June 8, 2009

Hey everyone! With WXET set to leave analog broadcasting on June 12, I’m curious about what’s going to happen after that. Will the station go completely dark, or will they have some sort of nightlight program in place? I remember hearing about some stations having a digital "nightlight" to help viewers transition. Anyone have the inside scoop on WXET's plans?

User 2: BroadcastBuff92
Posted on June 8, 2009

Great question, MerriweatherTVFan! I’ve been wondering about that too. From what I’ve heard, WXET is actually planning to implement a digital nightlight program after the analog shutdown. This means they’ll continue to broadcast some essential messaging and information, especially for viewers who are still transitioning to digital. This includes helping viewers understand how to access their digital signal.

User 3: LocalNewsJunkie
Posted on June 8, 2009

That’s right! The nightlight program usually involves broadcasting important messages about the switch, providing tips on how to get digital signals, and possibly some test patterns or limited programming. It's a nice way for WXET to ensure that no one is left in the dark during this transition.

User 4: OsakaOtaku
Posted on June 8, 2009

I think having a nightlight program is a smart move! It not only helps the viewers but also gives the station a chance to reconnect with the audience. I hope they include updates about local programming, so people can adjust to the new digital lineup smoothly.

User 1: MerriweatherTVFan
Posted on June 8, 2009

Thanks for the info, everyone! I'm glad to hear WXET will be taking steps to help viewers through the transition. It’s always a bit nerve-wracking when changes like these happen, but it sounds like they’re committed to keeping everyone informed. I can’t wait to see how this digital transition unfolds!

Forum Thread Title: WXET's Transition to Digital: CW4Kids Block?

User 1: MerriweatherTVFan
Posted on June 9, 2009

Hey everyone! With WXET's transition to digital coming up this Friday, I have another question. Will the CW4Kids block still be carried on analog during this transition period, or will that be affected as well? I know a lot of kids (and parents!) look forward to those Saturday morning cartoons, and it’d be great to have some reassurance about that. What do you all think? Any updates on this?

User 2: BroadcastBuff92
Posted on June 9, 2009

Good question, MerriweatherTVFan! From what I understand, WXET plans to continue carrying the CW4Kids block on analog for a bit longer while they transition to digital. They seem to be aware of how popular that block is and want to make sure kids don’t miss out on their favorite shows during the changeover.

User 3: LocalNewsJunkie
Posted on June 9, 2009

Exactly! The CW4Kids block has been a staple for Saturday mornings, and it wouldn’t make sense to cut it off suddenly while viewers are still adjusting. I expect WXET will keep the block going on analog until they are fully transitioned and can ensure that all viewers can access it digitally.

User 4: OsakaOtaku
Posted on June 9, 2009

That’s a relief to hear! Hopefully, WXET will also give some messaging about how to continue watching those shows once the switch happens. It would make for a smoother transition for families who might still be getting used to digital TV.

User 1: MerriweatherTVFan
Posted on June 9, 2009

Thanks for the updates, everyone! It’s nice to know that the CW4Kids block will still be around for now. I’ll definitely keep an eye on WXET’s announcements to see how they’re managing this transition for families. Let’s hope they make it as seamless as possible!

Hey everyone! With the big switch to digital happening in just a couple of days, I wanted to follow up and ask if any other programming besides the CW4Kids block will be retained on analog during this transition. Are there any other shows or specials that viewers can expect to still see before everything fully moves over to digital? I'd love to hear any insights!

User 2: BroadcastBuff92
Posted on June 10, 2009

Good question, MerriweatherTVFan! From what I’ve gathered, WXET intends to keep some of its other popular programming on analog for a little while longer. They’re particularly focused on retaining viewer favorites, especially local news segments. It sounds like they want to make the transition as gentle as possible for their audience.

User 3: LocalNewsJunkie
Posted on June 10, 2009

Absolutely! I’ve heard they’ll also maintain some of their regular afternoon and evening programming on analog for a brief period. This includes staple shows that have a loyal following. It’s great that they’re considering the impact on viewers to ensure continuity during the switch.

User 4: OsakaOtaku
Posted on June 10, 2009

That’s fantastic news! Keeping some popular programming will definitely help keep viewers engaged and reduce any confusion during the transition. I really hope they announce a full schedule of what’s staying on analog so everyone can prepare!

Thanks for the info, everyone! It’s comforting to know that WXET values its viewers during this transition. I’ll be watching for any announcements about the specific shows they’ll keep airing. Let’s hope the adjustments go smoothly for everyone!

Write a reply saying so basiclaly all "non essential" programming is removed?

User 5: MerriweatherTVFan
Posted on June 10, 2009

So basically, it sounds like all "non-essential" programming is being removed during this transition period? If they’re retaining popular shows and local news but dropping other content, it definitely seems like they're prioritizing what they think viewers need most right now. I guess that makes sense, but it’s a bit concerning for fans of some of the less mainstream shows. Does anyone know if there’s a chance those shows might return once the transition is complete?

Write a reply

User 6: BroadcastBuff92
Posted on June 10, 2009

That seems to be the case, MerriweatherTVFan. It looks like WXET is focusing on the core programming that their audience relies on the most, which means some of the less popular or "non-essential" shows may be temporarily taken off the lineup during the transition.

As for the chance of those shows returning, it really depends on the viewer response and how the digital transition goes. If there’s enough demand for certain programs, WXET might consider bringing them back once everything is up and running smoothly in digital. I’d recommend letting the station know how you feel about your favorite shows—audience feedback can really make a difference!

User 1: MerriweatherTVFan
Posted on June 11, 2009

Hey everyone! I just got some clarification about WXET's analog schedule during the digital transition. It seems like the only times that analog will simulcast with digital are at 5 PM, 6 PM, and 11 PM every day, along with 6 AM to 1 PM on Saturdays. Is that right? That means the rest of the time viewers will just see the "Make Sure Your TV is DTV" loop.

User 2: BroadcastBuff92
Posted on June 11, 2009

Yes, that’s correct, MerriweatherTVFan! It looks like those are the designated times for analog to simulcast with digital. The rest of the schedule will just have the loop advising viewers about the digital transition. It’s a bit unfortunate for those who may not be able to transition right away, but at least they’ll still get some programming at those key times.

User 3: LocalNewsJunkie
Posted on June 11, 2009

Exactly! The goal is to keep people informed about the transition while still providing some essential programming. It’s good that they’ve selected popular times for simulcasting, so viewers can still catch those important broadcasts, especially news updates.

User 4: OsakaOtaku
Posted on June 11, 2009

That makes sense! I hope WXET creates clear messaging during those simulcast times to help guide viewers through the transition process. It’s crucial to make sure everyone understands what they need to do to continue enjoying their favorite shows.

User 1: MerriweatherTVFan
Posted on June 11, 2009

Thanks for the confirmation, everyone! It sounds like WXET has thought this through to some extent. Hopefully, viewers will take advantage of those simulcast times to ensure they’re ready for the full digital rollout. Let's keep spreading the word!

Hey everyone! Now that we know the details about the “Make Sure Your TV is DTV” loop airing during all the non-simulcast hours on analog, I’m curious—what exactly gets displayed in between runs of that message? Is there any additional information or graphics during those breaks, or is it just a continuous loop?

User 2: BroadcastBuff92
Posted on June 12, 2009

Great question, MerriweatherTVFan! From what I’ve seen, it’s generally just the continuous loop displaying that message. However, there are occasional breaks where they show helpful tips on how to make the switch to digital. These tips include information about using converters, checking for signal reception, and how to tune in to the new digital channels. It’s nice to see them adding a bit more context for viewers!

User 3: LocalNewsJunkie

Yes, it seems like WXET is trying to be as informative as possible. The breaks in the loop help explain what viewers should be doing, which is definitely useful. They might even showcase a few graphics illustrating what the DTV setup looks like, so it's clear for everyone.

Anyone have the inside scoop on this?

User 2: BroadcastBuff92
Posted on June 20, 2009

Great question, MerriweatherTVFan! From what I understand, yes, WXET is blacking out advertisements during both the newscasts and the CW4Kids block on analog. They want to ensure these essential broadcasts are fully focused on providing news and kids’ programming without interruptions from ads during this transition period.

User 3: LocalNewsJunkie
Posted on June 20, 2009

That makes sense! It’s understandable that they want to keep the focus on important content, especially for those who are still transitioning to digital. Providing ad-free segments might also encourage more viewers to tune into those broadcasts for valuable information and entertainment.

User 4: OsakaOtaku

Hey everyone! It’s a bittersweet day as analog broadcasting is officially being disconnected for WXET. I just saw that they're displaying a goodbye image, which is quite emotional.

The goodbye image is kind of comforting, showing families happily watching fireworks together. It feels like a nice way to celebrate the end of an era while looking forward to the future.

Goodbye Image Description for WXET Analog Broadcasting
Image Title: Farewell to WXET Analog Broadcasting

Image Description: The scene depicts a serene evening sky illuminated by vibrant fireworks bursting in various colors, symbolizing celebration and unity. In the foreground, a diverse group of characters—families, children, and friends—are sitting peacefully on a grassy hilltop. They are comfortably enjoying the fireworks display, with smiles on their faces, some pointing toward the sky in awe.

Each character is clad in casual clothing, representing different communities and backgrounds, reflecting the inclusive spirit of WXET. A couple of blankets are spread out on the ground where children are seated, eagerly watching the sky. A friendly dog lies beside one of the children, adding a warm touch to the gathering. At the bottom of the image, the words “Thank You for Being Part of Our Journey” are elegantly printed, reminding viewers of the shared moments and memories created over the years.

As a soft backdrop, the silhouette of the WXET logo can be faintly seen against the twilight sky, symbolizing the end of an era while hinting at new beginnings ahead. The peaceful ambiance and joyful expressions encapsulate the sentiment of gratitude and hope as WXET bids farewell to its analog broadcasts.

Hey everyone! With all the recent changes and the farewell to analog broadcasting, I’ve been wondering—does WXET still use the CW logo anywhere in their branding? I know they had their own blend of marketing materials with TV Yan and Telepochi, so I’m curious if the CW logo is still a part of their identity or if they've completely shifted away from it. Anyone have the scoop?

User 2: BroadcastBuff92

Good question, MerriweatherTVFan! From what I’ve seen, WXET has indeed moved away from displaying the CW logo prominently in their branding. They seem to be focusing more on their unique identity now with the mascots and a fresh approach to their promotional materials. It looks like they want to create a distinctive look that resonates more with their local audience.

User 3: LocalNewsJunkie
Posted on July 18, 2009

Exactly! While WXET is still an affiliate of The CW network, it appears that they've opted to brand themselves independently. It’s a smart move to create their own identity, especially with the introduction of TV Yan and Telepochi, which adds a fun twist to their overall image.

User 4: OsakaOtaku

While it’s true that WXET is embracing a new identity, I have to point out that in the previous era, even if they downplayed the network graphics, the CW logo was still incorporated into the WXET logo. It was subtle but definitely there! They had a unique way of blending both identities for a while. It'll be interesting to see how they balance their new mascot-focused branding with The CW's programming moving forward!

Hey everyone! With all the branding changes happening, I’m curious about what the current WXET logo looks like now. I know they’ve been moving away from the CW influences and embracing TV Yan and Telepochi, but has the logo been completely redesigned? If anyone has details or a description, I’d love to hear about it!

Great question, MerriweatherTVFan! The current WXET logo has indeed been redesigned. It features bold, vibrant colors that reflect the fun and lively spirit of TV Yan and Telepochi. The logo itself has a more cartoonish feel, and it prominently showcases the mascots alongside the WXET name.

User 3: LocalNewsJunkie

Yes, exactly! They've moved away from the previous sleek design and now have a more whimsical look. The characters are integrated directly into the logo, giving it a playful energy that resonates with kids and families. It’s really eye-catching!

I saw it recently too! It definitely conveys a sense of excitement and community. The new logo feels refreshing and inviting compared to the old one. I think it perfectly captures the spirit of WXET as they transition into this new era!

Thanks for the descriptions, everyone! It sounds like the new logo is a fantastic representation of WXET’s new direction. I can’t wait to see it in action and how it influences their overall branding!

To give a clearer picture of the transition, here’s a quick comparison of the previous branding and the current one:

Previous Branding:

The WXET logo included the CW logo prominently, blending sleek graphics with the network's color scheme of green and white.
The design had a modern and polished look, with a focus on the sophistication of The CW's identity.
Promotional materials featured darker colors with red and grey elements, creating a more subdued, professional feel.
Current Branding:

The new WXET logo now features bright colors and a playful font, with TV Yan and Telepochi integrated into the design.
The aesthetics are vibrant and cartoonish, appealing directly to families and children.
It embraces a lively spirit, showcasing whimsical graphics that represent community and entertainment in an engaging way.
This shift really highlights how WXET is evolving to create a unique identity, moving away from The CW’s branding while still maintaining a connection to the audience! I'm excited to see how this new direction unfolds!

For those interested in how the bumpers have changed along with WXET’s branding, here’s a comparison of the previous and current bumpers:

Previous Bumpers:

The older bumpers often featured the CW logo in a standard format with a simple, sleek animation that aligned with The CW’s branding style.
Color schemes were predominantly grey and red, maintaining a sophisticated yet understated look.
Graphics included basic transitions and static images, focusing on promoting their programming lineup without much flair.
Current Bumpers:

The new bumpers are vibrant and dynamic, showcasing the personalities of TV Yan and Telepochi in fun and energetic animations.
They incorporate bright colors and playful designs that reflect the joyful vibe of the station's new identity.
Current bumpers often feature whimsical graphics and animations related to the mascots, engaging viewers in a more interactive and entertaining way while promoting upcoming shows.
This transformation really emphasizes WXET's commitment to creating a lively and family-friendly atmosphere, making the viewing experience much more enjoyable! Can't wait to see how this evolves!

Forum Thread Title: The Fate of the Dragon IDs at WXET

User 1: MerriweatherTVFan
Posted on July 22, 2009

Hey everyone! With the recent branding changes and the introduction of TV Yan and Telepochi, I’m curious—what’s happened to the dragon-themed IDs? Are they completely gone now, or is there still a chance we might see them in some form? I really enjoyed those visuals!

User 2: BroadcastBuff92
Posted on July 22, 2009

Good question, MerriweatherTVFan! From what I’ve heard, the dragon IDs have officially been retired. They were such a unique part of WXET’s branding, but with the new direction focusing on the mascots, it seems like they decided to fully transition away from the dragon theme.

User 3: LocalNewsJunkie
Posted on July 22, 2009

That’s correct! The station has really embraced TV Yan and Telepochi as the face of their new branding. The dragon IDs, although fun and memorable, have been replaced with graphics that better reflect the current playful and vibrant identity of WXET.

User 4: OsakaOtaku
Posted on July 22, 2009

That's a bit sad to hear, but I understand why they made the change. The dragons were iconic in their own right, but it’s exciting to see WXET focusing on engaging characters like TV Yan and Telepochi. It really signifies a fresh start for the station!

User 1: MerriweatherTVFan
Posted on July 22, 2009

Thanks for the updates, everyone! It’s definitely bittersweet to see the dragon IDs go, but I’m looking forward to what WXET has in store with the new mascots. Let’s keep cheering them on as they embrace this new era!

User 1: MerriweatherTVFan
Posted on June 28, 2010

Hey everyone! I've been catching up on some of my favorite shows, and I noticed that Friends doesn't seem to be airing on WXET anymore. Has it been officially replaced in the lineup? I’m a bit bummed since it was always a fun watch. If anyone knows what’s taking its place, I’d love to hear about it!

User 2: BroadcastBuff92
Posted on June 28, 2010

Great question, MerriweatherTVFan! Yes, it looks like Friends has indeed been replaced in WXET’s schedule. The slot it used to occupy is now airing Two and a Half Men instead. I know a lot of fans loved Friends, but I guess they're going for a different vibe with their current programming.

User 3: LocalNewsJunkie
Posted on June 28, 2010

That’s right! Friends had a great run, but it seems WXET is focusing more on newer sitcoms and shows that appeal to their target demographic. While I’m sad to see Friends go, I think Two and a Half Men fits well with the current lineup.

User 4: OsakaOtaku
Posted on June 28, 2010

I really liked Friends too! But I get that WXET is trying to renew their schedule and attract new viewers. Maybe they'll rotate some classic shows back in at some point? I hope we see some favorite reruns again later down the line!

User 1: MerriweatherTVFan

Thanks for the info, everyone! It’s a bit of a letdown to see Friends gone, but I’ll give Two and a Half Men a shot. I appreciate the updates and hope WXET keeps some classic sitcoms in rotation in the future! Let’s keep the conversation going about our favorite shows!

Hey everyone! I've been enjoying WXET's programming lately, but I was curious—who actually owns the station? I know it's based in Merriweather, but I haven't seen much information about its ownership. If anyone has the scoop, I’d appreciate it!

User 2: BroadcastBuff92

Hey everyone! I've been catching up on WXET’s lineup, and I’m curious about the FOX shows that they might still be airing in syndication. I know they were a FOX affiliate in the past, so I wondered if any of those classic shows have made their way back. Does anyone know?

User 2: BroadcastBuff92

That’s a good question, MerriweatherTVFan! As far as I know, WXET is currently airing a few FOX classics in syndication. Shows like The Simpsons and Family Guy are part of their weekday lineup, which is great for those who love the humor of older FOX programming.

User 3: LocalNewsJunkie

Write a follow up saying they bought the station late 2010, and then it flipped from it's talk radio format to a stunt with Fratellis songs, before it's true format began


User 5: VintageMediaFan
Posted on February 5, 2011

Just to add a bit of context to the conversation, WXET actually acquired WAHA-FM in late 2010. After the acquisition, they initially flipped the station from its previous talk radio format to a stunt programming featuring songs by The Fratellis. It was a fun way to grab attention and generate buzz.

Following that stunt, WAHA-FM eventually transitioned to its true format, which is focused more on a mix of music and local content. It's exciting to see how both WXET and WAHA-FM are evolving and catering to our community’s needs! I think the collaboration will lead to some great new initiatives across both platforms.
