TV-2, the Hot Ones
Reach for the Stars on TV-2
You and Channel 2, We’ve Got the Touch
This is CBS, on TV-2 ( used as a station identification)
As a Fox O&O:
So Fox 2 (ran briefly)
If anyone knows of anymore, let me know

Re: Past WJBK network slogans
Not familiar with WJBK, but at the risk of taking over a thread too early, can we add other stations also?

Yes, go ahead
WXYZ (ABC localized slogans):
Still the One
We’re the One, on Channel 7
You and Me and Channel 7
Now is the Time, Channel 7 is the Place
Come on Along with Channel 7
Local slogans:
Stand up and Tell em you’re from Detroit
We all know about Go 4 It with WDIV
WDIV had a couple NBC localized slogans in the late 1980s.
Re: Past WJBK network slogans
"Watchable TV-2" back in the 1950s-1960s. Some said it was after a transmitter or antenna problem was fixed. Others said it was after a particularly bad Sporadic E Season. In 1957, sunspot activity was at an all time high, and F2 reflections extended into Channel 2 or so. 54-88 MHz has its advantages, but when Sporadic E kicks in, it was pretty awful in analog. At least for the average watcher. I can still hear the 10 kHz whine as we speak.
Is THAT where they got the idea for the 486-SX?

Re: Past WJBK network slogans
I remember their best one: "It Takes Two, TV-2"... it was their final slogan as a CBS affiliate, and ran from 1990 to 1994, by Kim Weston, and the late Marvin Gaye's brother filling in for him in a recreation of their classic duet. It was an excellent salute to Detroit's motown history, and you can watch it below:

In the 50s, back when they were notorious for preempting much of the CBS schedule.
