WFLD

1966–1968
WFLD first signed on in 1966 as an independent station owned by Field Communications, a subsidiary of Field Enterprises, then the parent company of the Chicago Sun-Times.

1973–1978
Kaiser Broadcasting took control of WFLD in 1973.

1978–1983


Field Communications regained control of WFLD in 1978, when Kaiser Broadcasting was merged with Field Enterprises. This logo design was shared with other Field independent stations.

1983–1986
Metromedia took control of the company in 1983.

In 1986, Metromedia sold its stations to News Corporation, who then launched the Fox television network, with WFLD serving as part of the backbone of this new network.

1993–1994
In 1993, WFLD changed its branding from Fox 32 to Fox Chicago. Its sister station in Philadelphia WTXF-TV adopted the same practice three years later until 2003.

1994–1997


In 1994, WFLD reverted its branding to Fox Thirty-Two with the channel number spelled as a hyphened word.

1997–2006


In 1997, WFLD reverted its branding to Fox Chicago.

2006–2012


This logo branding, currently in use by most of the Fox O&amp;O stations, is based on the Fox News Channel logo.

2012–present


After almost 20 years of branding as Fox Chicago under some capacity, WFLD reverted to its former Fox 32 branding on November 12, 2012. The logo was updated to fall in line with its sister Fox owned-and-operated stations as a result.
