Past WJBK network slogans
Re: Past WJBK network slogans
What about WJBK radio 1500. Sure went thru a lot of changes. I liked it when it was WDEE "We've Done Everything Else"

WJBK supposedly stood for "Jesus Be Kind" long before teleministries were even an idea. But look at TV2's past and one wonders if anyone took that seriously or even knew, especially during the Bill Flynn era.

WWJ-TV: About 10 years ago-"Punch 62, CBS!"
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

WKBD - Kaiser Broadcasting Detroit
WTTH (now WPHM) - the original owner, the Times-Herald (Port Huron)

Re: Past WJBK network slogans
I despised that "TV2 is yours" and the crappy logo that looked like it was designed by grade-schoolers, The slogans that followed "2 Together for The Look of Detroit" and "2 is the one!" Both of them were much better concepts and had classier looking logos. Still not impressed with "Fox 2". It might as well be called "Murdoch's Two, Too Much!"

1979, Robbie Timmons was hot stuff, hell, I watched CBS2's news just because.
Also then, ABC had the song "Still the One" by Orleans reworked for the 79-80 fall season premieres

Re: Past WJBK network slogans
I recall, and Wikipedia also mentions, WPAG standing for Paul and Art Greene, who with Edward "Ted" Baughn, owned the station back in the early years.tapeisrolling wrote: ↑Wed Sep 23, 2020 9:21 pmWPAG Ann Arbor Pat - Andy Green ..... Green's Cleaners
Its' successor calls included WPZA (owned by Tom Monaghan - no prize for guessing that one) and its' current name, WTKA, for Ticket Ann Arbor, I'd assume.

One I received on an old DX years ago: "Public Television for Southern Florida, this is WPBT, Miami"
Re: Past WJBK network slogans
Another interesting tidbit from The radio dial, WJBK WAS 1500 for a long time but then got new call letters too often, and different formats to find a niche in the Detroit listening market. One iteration , after several other attempts, was WDEE (stage whispers; "We've Done Everything Else")
