WPHL-TV 17 to become a MyNetworktv affiliate beginning 9/5

Will NBC-10 still be doing the news at 10 PM?

Actually, the 17 website shows a logo that says "My PHL 17". Hmmmmmmm....

Sort of a hybrid, like what WPSG will do ("Philly 57 - The CW").

Apparently, the station changed over early because I'm seeing MyPHL17 logos and graphics now.

I had The Tube on and caught the little hourly ID and noticed that it was the MNTV one. I switched to WPHL and caught a promo for Sex and the City with the new graphics and logo. I imagine the news will look the same as it has. All it really was was NBC 10's graphics with the WB17 logo and theme.

The news logo is ugly and looks like a middle schooler designed it.

Below are some pics of the new logo on the News @ 10.

UPN 57 will be "Philly 57 - The CW" according to signs at a concert i was at last week.  I just caught the My PHL 17 News for the first time and I'm a little surprised that the NBC-10 anchors (who I'm sure have enough problems not saying NBC-10 all the time) didn't yet call it the WB-17. 

On another WB-17 note, has a former Ch. 17 news anchor replaced George Mallet at Good Day Philadelphia?  I think his name is Scott something.   Maybe he's filling in for the week, but it's odd because Good Day often just uses one of their own to fill in.  Maybe he's been hired for the 11:00 a.m. news that is coming in October?

And to further confuse things, when I went to FOX29's website to see if this Scott guy was listed, there is an ad for My Network TV's "Fashion House" soap that will be airing 5 nights a week in prime time.  I guess since the network is officially owned by FOX, it makes some sort of sense, but it just seems odd.

Channel 17 has officially changed its name effective July 25th to "MYPHL17".

So with ch17 going Mynetwork on 9/5, does anyone know if they will still continue airing WB programing (at a different time obvisously) for the remaining 2 weeks of the WB's existence?
