A rundown of the evolving branding of (now extinct) Fort Smith, Arkansas UPN affiliate KFDF, with the odd logo that was adopted early at the end of 1996. (As weird as that sentence reads, every word is in the right place.)

Television hasn’t disappeared — it’s evolved. People still watch the big screen in their living rooms, but instead of flipping through channels, they often navigate apps. Local TV remains the home for community news and weather. Connected TV (CTV) is where on-demand entertainment lives — Netflix, Hulu, YouTube TV, Prime Video. Same big screen. Two different entry points. https://georgefeola.io/why-ctv-local-tv-advertising-matters-for-local-businesses/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ctv_local_tv_article
