Open from WWCP-TV FOX8 Johnstown sometime last year. They use the FOX 1998 Affiliate package, which is right now classified as "production music", which is music that is known for low-production values
Whatever happened to Dr. Dave from WWCP/WATM? I ust to live in that region as well, never really watched FOX 8 that much, but I loved the music and I just wanted to say I watched WTAJ-TV most.
They still use the same music for the WJAC-TV produced broadcast but the graphics are like the vertical blinds effect.

I miss the old Fox 8 News. The new way its run makes it boring. Plus now its only a half an hour long while it used to be an hour long

WWCP-TV no longer produces its own newscast, that responsibility was handed over to Johnstown's NBC affiliate WJAC-TV in January 2008.
WWCP started each newscast with a "good news" segment, featuring a "soft" or "positive" story, followed by the regular news of the day.
This editorial decision was believed to be the single, largest, reason for the newscasts' abysmal ratings and loss of revenue.

I hear that Fox 8 in Johnstown will no longer have its own newscast, and will have to rely on WJAC, the oldest station in the city.

I lived in Altoona off and on 2001-2005 and used to watch Fox 8 News religiously. Good stuff!
