[edit] WHDH and WSVN

I'm a bit worried. It appears that debate between CFIF (talk · contribs) and Leonard23 (talk · contribs) regarding if WHDH-TV's logo should be represented with or without NBC's peacock has arrived here, and also now involves if Image:WHDH-WSVN.png should also be replaced for WSVN by Image:WSVN.png. I don't want to get into trouble so I'm neutral, but a revert war appears to have begun. What is most proper? --WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 17:00, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Listcruft?

I agree that the original Circle 7 logo is iconic. But this has lately become a list of "all stations with a circular logo", and I find it hard to believe that most (although not necessarily all) of these are really based on the ABC Circle 7. A circle is a pretty common shape, after all. Even direct competitors to the original ABC O&Os are listed as having used logos "based" on the Circle 7, which sounds unlikely.

Ideally I'd gut them all, but as an alternative, aside from the various versions of the Circle 7 itself, others should be restricted to those with (a) a solid, full-circle border around the circle, (b) a number inside the circle (i.e. not BCTV), and (c) a sans-serif font. — stickguy (:^›)— home - talk - 03:10, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree that in its current form, the list pretty much engulfs the article (and makes the TOC far too long).
However, I'm not particularly knowledgeable on the logo (having came here while browsing for Circle 7 Animation, with a redirect pointing here from Circle 7. I'd never heard of either the logo or the channel before today), so I don't really know what should be done to trim it, so I added {{Listdisp}} to the section, to hopefully attract some attention this way. --Dreaded Walrus 23:58, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Dunno about the others, but WWNY-TV did carry ABC secondary affiliation from 1954-1986, despite being primarily a CBS station they were the only US station in their local market until 1971 so their situation resembled that of KXGN now. --99.245.244.176 (talk) 04:01, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] KPLC-TV

It's used one for years...Ranma9617 22:12, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Circle logo number

Why is it logical to call this logo "Circle 7" even if it's on a random channel?? Georgia guy 16:36, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I would suspect it has to do with it originating and apparently being most popular on channel 7 (although the "circle 4" seems to be used quite frequently as well now). JMyrleFuller 21:55, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
