i hope whoever would've acquired CHCH would do it--and channel zero finally did...CHCH will be sporting an updated version of that iconic flower logo starting monday (august 30)! bad news is, they've cut down on the "double feature" movies on primetime, because they're putting in a number of US TV shows on simulcast as well...though there'll still be one movie on primetime every weeknight...

@mangdannyboy Yep, isn't it awesome news! Hopefully this sort of thing becomes trendy...

@mangdannyboy I'm glad the classic logo is back too, they seem to be taking 'baby' steps to re-vamping the program line up. I think local TV, unique for each market in the country is the way our boradcasters need to survive these days. Lots of local news may work for CHCH--like they say it is, but may not work somewhere else.

Anyways, here's hoping Channel Zero is onto something and more local stations take notice.

[mangdannyboy]

@Keaster2000 that's true...although i'm not really expecting that to happen anymore for the big network-owned stations--especially those owned by the huge multimedia companies. maybe for those that don't belong to a network like, yeah, CHCH, CHEK in BC, or maybe even SUN TV...

CHCH is retrofitting the 80's logo for the Station overhaul starting on Monday August 30th

[Keaster2000]

Starting August 30, CHCH-TV is bringing this logo back! Slightly modified: it just says CHCH in the centre, but if you see the 'multi-coloured cloud" you'll recognize it right away!

@Keaster2000 Would be nice if they went all the way and did like the days of old... CHCH, TV 11.

WPIX in New York went back to branding themselves as PIX11... no WB11, or CW11, or anything like that.

Now, if only they can bring back some TV classics like in the former years...

This actually used to scare me as a little kid. Maybe because it came on right before the equally scary Snelgrove The Snail...

I really miss the old CH ... now its nothing but Entertainment news this, entertainment news that, ugh :(

[pilgrimomega]

This is my childhood. Great memories. As dumb as that seems. But the music, the look, places I've been... awesome.

@pilgrimomega

I agree, puts me right back when I was a kid...gives me the chills. Funny how a simple thing as a station identification spot can do that to you.

@DarthMarc1972 as an american obsessed with canada. I love that jingle our local channels had that feel too back in the day. I am from oregon on the west coast of america and back then all our stuff was either out of portland or san franscico or sacramento california which I am hundreads of miles from both oh I miss those days.....

[fabfeet1969]

I miss the old CHCH-TV, it's too bad it has become another one of the Canadian Channels sucked in my the Corporate fecal machine.
