KIRO had a huge identity problem back in the mid '90s when they temporarily lost their CBS affiliate status, AND they were among the first to attempt the out-of-the-box format for news and their logo was an inverted triangle (gay friendly, but odd station branding). I assume they went to the Circle 7 logo in an attempt to undo the damage and make the station seem more familiar.
Parenthetical aside: They have a weekend anchor/reporter named Alison who was a cheerleader at my alma mater. I know she is married now, but, like Shannen Doherty, one day she will be mine.
