And after the Balkans, it is now time for the Dutch feed to change:
Fox Nederland is also very different from other Fox channels: a "basic" cable channel, Fox focuses not only on series, films and entertainment, but also airs a wide range of sports programming (including Eredivisie, Eerste Divisie and Dutch Cup highlights and some live matches).
MPB, Mississippi's PBS broadcaster, has a new a dark blue speech bubble and a new sonic image. youtu.be
In their own words:
Quote:The new branding strengthens MPB’s position as the leading multimedia outlet for Mississippi stories and a catalyst for thoughtful conversation and engagement. The new logo, sometimes referenced as a chat bubble or thought bubble icon, signifies what MPB has done for the last 50 years – communicate and educate through storytelling. The sonic brand, with a blues guitar lick, draws on Mississippi’s cultural heritage.
“MPB recently celebrated its 53rd year serving the people of Mississippi,” Aills said. “We hope to continue to serve the community for the next 50 years, evolving as needed to meet our audiences ‘where they are’ in terms of how they consume their news, information, or programing.”

Meanwhile, KSKN in Spokane (CW/Tegna) has a new on-screen name: They're now The Spot.
On MPT, after seeing lot of PBS stations ditch having their own look and just adapting the PBS national package, it's nice to see they decided to stick with their own look. It looks really nice too.
Going by 22 the (add a word) and using a bright color, hmm, wait a minute.
Over in Australia, Foxtel is also dropping the Fox connotations in their cable channels: Starting this morning, Fox Comedy, Docos, Classics, Sleuth and Sci-Fi have all dropped the Fox prefix, with some of them updated to a generic san-serif font in the process. You can see the updated channel brandings here: www.foxtel.com.au
Among the remaining ones, Fox Arena, Showcase and Crime will also be dropping their prefixes, Fox One is to be renamed to Foxtel One, while the Fox branding on Fox 8 survives with one that aligns more with the current Foxtel symbol. Those have made their way onto the local print TV guide, according to Media Spy (forums.mediaspy.org ):
Previously, they also dropped the Foxtel branding (the 2018 all-small-caps one) on their movie channels, with their existing openers amended slightly as a result. This potato recording is the only one I can find: youtu.be

Another Telefe O&O is added to Grupo Televisión Litoral's shopping spree: Telefe Salta in the North West is now elonceTV, as expected after they bought Canal 8. By now, Paramount owns 4 local stations in the network. www.rosario3.com
Looking at their interview, they strategically expanded from the suburbs to the capital, not the other way round. They also boasted a more local approach than Paramount. youtu.be
