Background

By the late '80s, RKO General was forced by the FCC to exit broadcasting due to an accounting scandal. The newly renamed WWOR was initially owned by Universal Studios, and sold to Pinelands after Matsushi-ta purchased Universal's parent company, MCA. Chris-Craft purchased Pinelands in 1993, and the station became a UPN O&O at the network's launch in 1995. Chris-Craft later exited television and sold its stations to Fox (which reunited WWOR with fellow ex-RKO station WHBQ in Memphis). WWOR is currently part of MyNetworkTV.

WWOR era (1987-)

Visuals: The sequence starts with a modified version of the 1990 Universal logo with a different font and no blue nebula. Surrounding it is a grey ring which flips over to reveal to be a glass silver 9. As it flips over, the Universal globe fades into the 9 forming a stylized circle inside it while the gold Universal text shifts to under the 9 as the V in Universal fades into the 9 as well. The white text "WWOR-TV" then fades in.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: None.
