Editing Metromedia (section)

==Typeface==
Beginning in 1967, Metromedia's television stations began utilizing a sans-serif typeface for their on-air logo. The typeface was a proprietary one called ''Metromedia Television Alphabet'',<ref name=Typesetting/> which was as distinctive as the typeface employed by [[Westinghouse Broadcasting|Group W]] unit of [[Westinghouse Electric Corporation|Westinghouse Electric]] for its TV and radio stations beginning in 1963. ''Metromedia Television Alphabet'' was used for the channel numbers of its television stations until 1977, when another typeface modeled slightly after the [[Futura (typeface)|Futura]] family was introduced.{{citation needed|date=April 2019}}
