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.
