[edit] Article name

I have moved this article back to KBWB from KBWB-TV. Consensus on both WP:NC#Broadcasting and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations#Article_names is that the article name should reflect the actual call letters of the TV station. As can be seen here: [1] the call letters for this station are in fact KBWB. Any concerns regarding this topic would be best addressed here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Television_Stations. —A 09:09, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Pets

In the 1980s until the mid-90s when it was occupied by the WB , there were some interesting station idents shown for the station between shows (during when the station was referred to as KOFY): a dog or a cat (whose name is shown at the bottom of the screen) is shown in closeup, then the camera zooms out to show that dog or cat sitting on a chair alongside a TV set to TV20. While a jingle played, the dog or cat would turn its head to look at the TV, after which the TV20 logo of the time flies off the screen in the room and turns the room into a cheesy CG space-type setting with the TV20 logo taking up the screen with the word "KOFY" on top and "San Francisco" on bottom. The jingle played as follows:

"Welcome to your place..."
(Quick drum solo)
"K-O-F-Y, TV-20!"
(whispers) "Stereo!"
(spoken) "KOFY, K-O-F-Y, stereo, TV-20, San Francisco."

But when the WB bought the station, gone were the pets of the TV jingle. But with the station about to go independent again, will the TV jingle pets return with it? I hope it should. MHarrington 17:12, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TV-20 Dance Party

I didn't see a mention of the TV-20 Dance Party. When I was in high school, 1985, several high schools were invited, of which mine was one. Later the format changed. Unfortunately, I don't have much more info than that.
