At least KOMO topped KIRO's meaningless 'Play for the Bay' with this gem. It seems that creativity has taken a sack. No station is using 'Super or Seattle' in a promo line? SMH.
SEATTLE GOES SUPER
SEAHAWKS ARE SUPER

Its generic but at least it has some meaning.
ReplyDeleteFor KIRO: “A rare time we don’t lead with crime!”
ReplyDeleteNBC owns the rights to all “Super Bowl” references leading up to the game. Non-NBC stations in Boston & Seattle have to be particularly careful, as they will be carefully scrutinized to be sure they comply. Different rules apply to the various platforms in terms of logos, the term ‘Super Bowl,’ and references to the teams. So KOMO, KIRO & Q have to dance around it in case NBC is feeling litigious.
ReplyDeleteThose slogans show me very little dancing, however. Best they can do even with restrictions?
