In This Clip, From 8:00 To 8:05, It Was WABC-TV's Channel 7 Eyewitness News' The News Watched By More People In The Tri-State Area Video ID From October 2006.
Yeah they switched the branding from ABC 7 to Channel 7 for the newscasts in 2004. Because they want to be more down to earth with New Yorkers. Most people call it Channel 7 so this way its more recognizable, although its less professional, its more recognizable.
Didn't they at one time say ABC 7 Eyewitness News? I know WPVI for a time said "from 6 ABC this has been Action News", but then went back to "from Channel 6"
This was before Heidi Jones got fired.
