Website Branding Changes?

I noticed that WWOR www.upn9.com and KCOP www.upn13.com and WPWR www.upnchicago.com (FOX UPN in NYC, LA, and Chicago respectively) have the UPN name in their website addresses.

Has anyone noticed any others that have this? I wonder if any websites have been changed or new ones registered yet?<P ID="signature">______________

Many stations have multiple site addresses. For example, upn9.com, and likewise with upn13.com. If NewsCorp is really that keen on getting rid of all mentions of UPN, they can start promoting these URLs this very instant.<P ID="signature">______________

In addition...

WPWRTV.com for Chicago
WDCA.COM for Washington dc
WUTB.COM for Baltimore
KTXH.com for Houston
KUTP.COM for Phoenix
WRBW.com for Orlando

+ a few others

Fox was smart enough to get UPN-less domains a few years ago, now all they have to do is change the domain pointing on a few (takes a matter of minutes.)

FOX's UPN affiliate WDCA/20 Washington has already excised the "UPN" from its website (well, aside from the Title bar, which they missed):

<a target="_blank" href=http://www.wdca.com/>http://www.wdca.com/</a> (another address for upn20wdca.com, which they'll presumably start using now)

As of 1/27 3:30 PM ET, the following Fox-owned UPN stations have removed the UPN branding from their websites, including the station logos:

WWOR NYC
KCOP LA
WDCA DC (UPN still in title bar)
WFTC Minneapolis
KUTP Phoenix (logo changed with Get It On branding ala KCOP, title bar still has UPN, as does one text reference on page)

These have not:

WPWR Chicago (what a horrible website, BTW)
WUTB Baltimore
KTXH Houston
WRBW Orlando

No question about it. I don't think that website is over a year old. But then again the logo is UPN Chicago. The other stations are like UPN9. You can take off the UPN and keep the 9 logo<P ID="signature">______________

Make that 4 of 9

As of 9:00pm MST, the UPN logo is all over the KUTP website.<P ID="signature">______________
