  • How is it that your News Channel 4 and then Eyewitness News? I've never seen two moniker names in a news branding name......

  • I think the original plan was to dump Eyewitness News and adopt Newschannel 4. However they got into a serious pissing match with CBS and decided to go as an indy a couple of years later....so they kept EN for a few more years. They've since dropped it and are Channel 4 News.

  • I don't think the moniker had anything to do with their battle with CBS. I think the News Channel 4 Moniker was a full station moniker that lasted maybe two years and then their moniker was "The One and Only" and now it's "The Local Station".

  • Actually it is not all that uncommon for a station to transition from one name to another by using both for a while. They'd been using the NC4 name with EN for a few months at this point. Things started getting pissy with CBS the following year. They had been The One & Only before this and went back to it. WTVC in Chattanooga transitioned from Action News to Newschannel 9 by using both for about 2 years in the early 90's. JXT picked up "The Local Station" about a year before dropping EN.

  • I've found that KPHO used similar graphics from 1998-2000 (the open, except for the judicious purple and orange and change of scenery, is almost a carbon copy!).

  • Tom Wills and Sam Kouvaris are the longtime employees of Channel 4.

  • Great clip. Thanks for posting. This aired on Thursday, June 3, 1999.
