Talk:WDCW

Change
WDCW and WDVM have combined to be DC News Now you should combine the two wiki pages or make the wdvm the dc news now page as WDVM is gone :) -- DC News Now Staff — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.229.134.250 (talk) 20:20, 16 July 2022 (UTC)


 * I know you're probably not going to see this, but I figured I'd leave an explainer here.
 * Before DC News Now, channels 25 and 50 were separate stations with separate histories, each having been on air for more than 40 years. In fact, they still have separate broadcast licenses and programming. We can't fit that in one article. If things go on long enough, we might wind up with a partially transcluded "shared article" on the newsroom that contains information of relevance for both stations (First Coast News is the type example; WTLV and WJXX transclude pieces of it). But it's way too early. Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 02:26, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

For anyone curious as to how I figured that WDCW, then WBDC started using this logo in 2001, it took a little bit of internet forensics. I found the musical packaged commissioned by the network which was introduced in tandem with the logo. It is called The Jim and Howard News Music Package, which can be heard at 615 Music. Doing a search for wbdc "615 music" on Google, the earliest mention of the WBDC in conjunction with 615 Music was on a newsletter from the RTNDA called Trade Secrets, dated March 2002. The mention is a summary of 615's activity which included creating "'Jim and Howard' for WBDC." Also in the Google results is the this archived post to DCRTV from September 2001 noting that WBDC had very recently introduced a new logo. Thus I figure WBDC had introduced the above logo for the introduction of the 2001-2002 television season. SterlingNorth 10:25, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Logo Change
It appears WDCW is now using their new logo, but only on-air. The website, as well as some old promos, are still using the old "Washington's WB" logo.

Have they increased the power of their digital signal? the last few weeks it seems to come in much better than before.

Washington Capitals, Baltimore O's
Are the Washington capitals, and the baltimore O's still on The CW washington?

Not the Orioles.

Neither team airs on that station any longer. EvWill (talk) 19:30, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

The Washington Nationals are now on DC50 fairly regularly but only for Sunday afternoon games. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.251.8.191 (talk) 00:54, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
