For the station in Weston, West Virginia that currently uses the callsign formerly used by KDKA-TV, see WDTV . WDTV 1949–1952 KDKA-TV originally signed on as WDTV on January 11, 1949, as a primary affiliate of the former DuMont Network, while carrying secondary affiliations with CBS , NBC and ABC .
1952–1955 KDKA-TV 1955–1963 1963–2003 1963–1991 The logo design, especially the font (called "Westinghouse" or "Anklepants" (due to a similar typeface) by some people), was originally introduced when then-owner Westinghouse Broadcasting (Group W) introduced its design language in 1963.

PART 2 of KDKA-TV logo form 1963
1991–2003 The "2" became italicized in 1991. Then-sister stations KPIX and WBZ-TV were the first two Westinghouse -owned stations to adopt the styling in 1985 and 1987 respectively.
Westinghouse merged with CBS in 1995, making KDKA the network's owned-and-operated station.

The color scheme of the logo changed, making it in line with CBS O&O stations which used a gray and gold color based on the KCBS-TV logo.
KDKA Breaking News Indent 2013-2016
This alternate logo started appearing in 15-second commercials for the CBS Pittsburgh weather app in 2014. Although "KDKA-TV" is still shown in the logo, it appears to be minimized for FCC station identification purposes while more emphasis is placed on "CBS 2". It hasn't been seen on any other media yet, but it possibly means KDKA-TV is teasing with the idea of finally going into full compliance with the so-called "CBS Mandate" and rebranding itself as "CBS 2".
