  • Presented for Historical Purposes Only - A quick clip of Channel 5 in NYC (formerly WNEW-TV) from the first day they changed call letters and signed on as WNYW-TV. As you can see, their older production that was still featuring the OLD call letters would still be used for a while. Pardon the bad reception, I was actually using good old rabbit ears at the time!

    Fox grew out of the ashes of the old DuMont tv network from the 1950s.

      While, to tech crew, the prior call letters of WNEW-TV stood for "Where Nothing Ever Works."

    Before that insert (in Gill Sans Medium) was put on with the new calls and owner, it said 'WNEW-TV' on the top, and 'MMI 5 NYC' at the bottom, of this NTSC version of the Philips PM5544 pattern.

    Although NY's Channel 5 changed their call letters to the current WNYW but I don't think that they were a FOX station yet, still an Independent. But that wouldn't happen until October of 1986 when the FOX network was launched

      This effectively marked the start of the Fox Television Stations division before (as you say) the network started, so the Fox logo isn't really in error, though at this point it would merely have been a replacement for the Metromedia corporate branding (which wasn't exactly unusual, as the likes of Gannett, Taft etc, or indeed Metromedia did themselves, did the same to unify their stations) and still operating as an independent until October.

      Sorry to sound dumb but I thought Fox officially started in March/April 1987 with the Sunday Evening lineup anchored by “21 Jump Street” and “Married With Children” starring previously unknown Actors such as Ed O’Neil, Katy Segal, Johnny Deep and Holly Robinson.

      They needed a young onscreen personality to tell everyone about the new call sign. This kid did a good job of it.

    I hope you realize the magnitude of this recording, having the actual birth of Fox before its official start on October 9th of that year.

      @henryhanson3750 I do now, but I had no idea then! I just wanted to document the call letters change, I was fascinated with things like that. I just wish I'd had better reception and had just let the tape run but I was more focused on the new branding.
