RVN‐2 refers to the broadcast license call sign of the station, “2” being the channel number of the frequency. However, RVN‐2 was also the name and reference attributed to the station and the channel for many decades amongst viewers, and up to today, those who experienced RVN‐2 sometimes still refer to the channel as that. RVN‐2 was more than just a television service. Its identity on air and its Kooringal Studio facility became local institutions equivalent to that of a landmark. The station was a major local industry, at one time employing 150 local people in various roles from production to technical to clerical, as well as providing an introduction and training ground for young television employees.

  • Of Logos, Owners, and Cultural Intermediaries: Defining an Elit
    Of Logos, Owners, and Cultural Intermediaries: Defining an Elite Discourse in Re-branding Practices at Three Private Canadian Television Stations Christopher Ali University of Pennsylvania ABSTRACT This article explores the relationship between local television stations and na - tional networks through a careful study of station re-branding. The relationship is explored through case studies of the three privately owned English-speaking television stations in Win - nipeg, Canada. Through in-depth interviews with station and network executives, the author investigates the critical factors that facilitated the re-branding of Canada’s private television networks between 1997 and 2005. This period saw many English-speaking television networks unite their respective affiliate stations under a single logo and brand. Influenced by branding theory and scholarship on Canadian broadcasting, this article examines the shift away from local identification in Canadian broadcasting and the benefits, challenges, and resistances therein. KEYWORDS Canadian broadcasting; Local television; History of broadcasting; Branding RÉSUMÉ Cet article explore le rapport entre les stations de télévision locales et les réseaux nationaux au moyen d’un examen méticuleux des changements de marque des stations. Pour ce faire, l’auteur a mené des études de cas sur les trois stations de télévision privées de langue anglaise à Winnipeg, Manitoba. En se fondant sur des entretiens en profondeur avec des cadres de stations et de réseaux, l’auteur explore les facteurs critiques qui ont permis les changements de marque des réseaux de télévision privés au Canada entre 1997 et 2005. C’est durant cette période que plusieurs réseaux de télévision anglophones ont uni leurs stations affiliées respectives sous la bannière d’un seul sigle et d’une seule marque.
