to civilhistoryfan1981: i've lived in windsor, ontario my whole life and it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to pick up ANY of the cleveland stations in the Windsor-Detroit area. best bets were WKYC 3 and WJW 8, with WUAB 43 as another good one, but usually, you have to be along lake erie near leamington... i find it amazing that you can pick up the detroit locals in cleveland! any luck with CBET 9?

to vfreeck: WXON (1972-1997), WDWB (1997-2006), WMYD (2006-present).

(continued) however... with the digital transition in america complete.. it's difficult to pick up even THOSE signals (though WEWS 5 is much easier to recieve along the shore).

I'd love to see the logos of the toledo stations... particularly 24 and 36 :)

[BootPatrol]

I enjoyed seeing these logos, as I grew up in Wyandotte, Michigan.  Brings back the memories.

Thanks for posting, friend!

i wonder can you pick up a cleveland station like i pick up the following channels 2,4,7,20,56,and 62? i live in the greater cleveland area.

[bruteinazootsuit]

I used to be scared of the big CBS eye, it made me think there was a monster in the TV that was watching me, LOL!!

[vfreeck]

Didn't Channel 20 use the call letters "WDWB" during the WB era?

Detroits Warner Bros.

[asambrano1]

Great compilation of logos. It really takes you back...

[mrw965]

could you this this exact video but with toledo ohio television channels?

[kgrueschowjr2009]

you forgot WXYZ? Shame on you!

[meestercranky]

nice work. Takes me back to my childhood in Ann Arbor. Well done.

[bigvoice313]

Thank you very much. I hope you liked it and enjoyed it as well.

[divinivan]

great video. Needs more Channel 20 logo versions. And the modern music- what is it? I need to find this composer.

No WGPR?

[bigvoice313]

WGPR changed its call letters to WWJ-TV in 1995 when they took the CBS affiliation from WJBK (now a FOX O&O). WGPR's call letters is still used as a radio station at 107.5 FM.

Great video...reminds me of being in my teens and seeing the Detroit stations on cable out here on the east coast of Canada.

WHAT about WXYZ TV CHANNEL 7

[bigvoice313]

I tried to look for some WXYZ logos, but so far, there is only one logo of WXYZ, so I forgot to add them to this clip.

[kargaroc386]

and is that the only WDIV logo from the time they were called wwj?

[bigvoice313]

There are other logos of WWJ logos from back then before they became WDIV, but this is the only pre-WDIV logo I add on this clip.

[signcrash]

What music is that?

[bigvoice313]

"Backwards Classicalism" by MJay. I had to add it to this clip because when I first upload it a few weeks ago, I didn't have time to add any song to this clip.

[kargaroc386]

and what's weird, is that WDIV is anything BUT local. for a time in the early 90s, some people got in in Ireland (with a delay). that's like so far away, that they had to convert WDIV's signal to PAL!

[kargaroc386]

how did you get the old (possibly NET era) wtvs logo?

[bigvoice313]

got it from a website that highlights canadian tv logos and other logos of the US.

[kargaroc386]

i remember the short lived blue UPN Detroit logo from 2002.
