Sinclair Broadcasting’s WBFF brands on air as “Fox 45 News” with the slogan “Connecting People with Content Everywhere.”


The call signs pay tribute to the city name (the “B”) and channel number, (“F”orty “F”ive), though it alternatively stood for the now defunct slogan “Baltimore’s Finest Features.”
The station got a new set last year.
WBFF’s logo design has boasted the unique intertwined “4” and “5” for years, albeit in multiple variations, including placing it inside of a circle as opposed to its current rectangular look.
Sinclair, which counts WBFF as its de facto flagship station, also owns WUTB, which brands on air as “MyTV Baltimore” and uses a variation of the MyNetworkTV logo lockup.
