SameRetroWindsor, do you have any WJBK weather from the summer of 1995 when it hit record breaking temps in Detroit of 100+ degrees? I remember that mid-July day when it was too hot.
I love the "Eyewitness Morning" music! I don't remember it at all - they must not have used it for very long, though I've always been more of a WXYZ watcher, channel 2 usually had interesting stuff on weekend mornings. I also liked the "Eye/witness" logos that they used around this time. The FOX logos of today are too sterile-looking.
I might be mistaken, but I thought there was no change in logo associated with the affiliation change...I had thought that 'turned' logo came out a bit earlier...
That's how I remember it. A bunch of news changes were made in the months leading up to the switch, including these graphics and this logo. Of course, "Eyewitness Morning" had already been pre-empting CBS This Morning for a few years. But at this point they now had the one-hour "First News" at 4, one-hour "Eyewitness News at 5", then a half hour "Eyewitness News Report" with Huel Perkins which seemed to be aimed at replacing the CBS Evening News. Afterwards, of course, the 11pm moved to 10.
The logo did not change right away. It was some time (I believe) in the fall of '95 that they adopted a new, simpler looking "2" logo (similar to what they use now).
