WGBH CHANNEL 2 BRANDING QUESTION

[sxld079]

I Pretty Much Know That WGBH Channel 2's On Air Branding Is Actually 'GBH 2 But When Did WGBH Channel 2 Started Branding Themselves As 'GBH 2? It's Probably Either July 11, 1994, May 1995, Or September 1996? If anyone Remembers It Being Rebranded As 'GBH 2 On Those Particular dates? Please Let Me Know.

I think 7/11/94 might have been the first time branding as 'GBH 2. I remember during children's programming, they started calling it PTV with the "P-Pals," which were animated characters that looked like the traditional PBS "P-head" logo, and they had an amusement park as seen in between shows.

Do you remember it quite well ssetta? maybe you can show me a video or photo of it on another site that will allow you to do that, so that you can give me an example of exactly what it was like back then with the old logo and branding as well.

I also found others from different PBS stations throughout the country, but none from WGBH. How did you remember that exact date?

How did I remember that exact date? Two sources: youtube user VaultMasterDBT and news reports of other PBS stations using the PTV branding during the daytime In July 1994, and I noticed in the video they were using their old shadow drop "2" logo during their daytime kids hours, but when it came to the nighttime hours they're were most likely using their 'GBH 2 logo and branding in also which the channel 2 logo is similar the one they used in the early 1970s but also has "GBH" next to the "2" logo on left, that's how I remember it I think.
