I don’t know about IB, but I’m fairly certain WorldNow stations didn’t have the capability to do their own favicon.ico. At least that used to be the case.

Every station *should* do this, however it just ain’t gonna happen. Look at favicon.ico. Favicon.ico has been around for over a decade now and performs the exact same function for websites in browsers and is implemented the same way. And just like this, it’s free - all you have to do is make a tiny graphic and stick it in your website files. Yet less than half of all stations utilize the branding benefits of a custom favicon.ico file. Lost Remote doesn’t even use it! (Error 404 – File not Found) Station sites get millions of hits every month and stations don’t brand their logos in the visitor’s address bar or bookmarks, so I’d be shocked if more than a handful of tech-savvy stations take advantage of this for a comparatively minuscule number of iPhone users who visit their website.
