Here are the ones I know of.

As a CBS affiliate:

Catch the Brightest Stars on TV-2
TV-2, the Hot Ones
Reach for the Stars on TV-2
You and Channel 2, We’ve Got the Touch
This is CBS, on TV-2 ( used as a station identification)

As a Fox O&O:

So Fox 2 (ran briefly)

If anyone knows of anymore, let me know

Not familiar with WJBK, but at the risk of taking over a thread too early, can we add other stations also?

[Some Guy from Toledo]

In around 1977 it was "TV-2 is Yours".

Yes, go ahead

WXYZ (ABC localized slogans):

Still the One
We’re the One, on Channel 7
You and Me and Channel 7
Now is the Time, Channel 7 is the Place
Come on Along with Channel 7

Local slogans:

Stand up and Tell em you’re from Detroit


We all know about Go 4 It with WDIV

WDIV had a couple NBC localized slogans in the late 1980s.

[CK-722]

"Watchable TV-2" back in the 1950s-1960s. Some said it was after a transmitter or antenna problem was fixed. Others said it was after a particularly bad Sporadic E Season. In 1957, sunspot activity was at an all time high, and F2 reflections extended into Channel 2 or so. 54-88 MHz has its advantages, but when Sporadic E kicks in, it was pretty awful in analog. At least for the average watcher. I can still hear the 10 kHz whine as we speak.

When did they run this promo?

[RingtailedFox]

I remember their best one: "It Takes Two, TV-2"... it was their final slogan as a CBS affiliate, and ran from 1990 to 1994, by Kim Weston, and the late Marvin Gaye's brother filling in for him in a recreation of their classic duet. It was an excellent salute to Detroit's motown history, and you can watch it below:

In the 50s, back when they were notorious for preempting much of the CBS schedule.

Yeah, that's when TV2 originally dropped the Eyewitness News brand in favor of "Your TV2 News" and introduced the ugliest looking logo that looked like it had been pirated from WDRQ (Top 40 at the time) and sliced up. That, fortunately, didn't last long. Though there was speculation at the time that WXYZ would rebrand itself Channel 7 Eyewitness News and follow its ABC sister stations. In fact, they did claim the name but only for use in the sign-off newscasts, which were handled by the booth announcer on duty over a slide that had the 7 Eyewitness News logo and titles like "Local News", "State News", "World News" etc but did feature full packages from reporters that aired in the early and late newscasts. But the "Eyewitness News" brand never made it to primetime at 7.
