And just like that ...April Moss has been scrubbed from the CBSDetroit.com website

The Telemundo version:

What do they have against having a v/o for the opening?

I hope KXAS gets new graphics as well.

WMAQ has updated its graphics as of their 4pm newscast. Below are a few screenshots. Surprised we're the first ones to change.

At least those stations are getting rid of dead weight.

Yep, I noticed him too. It's good they've added someone new to the reporter pool, but it's definitely not enough. I hate the term as much as anyone else, but "staffing shortage" keeps permeating my thoughts as I think about working in journalism in this era, and/or living/working in the Bay, and/or working for CBS.

Wait, Emily's also leaving? I thought it was Michelle? Unless it's both?? I remember when we were discussing who might or might not replace Michelle Griego and now both of the names tossed out there are leaving. KPIX is definitely in need of hiring newbies at this point, and hopefully it won't have to be another expensive move like poaching VDLC several years ago. The bench continues to deteriorate at KPIX. Also Susie's departure is a big loss because of her housing-focused reporting, a big issue in the Bay Area. sigh

Krystal Klei was standing next to the desk at 11am as well.

Ahh..April Moss the latest to add to the list .. I guess CBS was right in not having a newscast on WWJ 62 [when they had no choice but to buy it when it was WGPR TV after WJBK went to FOX]...only a 2.5 minute weathercast and a short sports update at 11pm

Both WMAQ & KNBC debuted Novocom as the Sydney Games began (around mid-September).

So Rural Alaska will get a reprieve past the July 13 cutoff date. The FCC has granted the State of Alaska a waiver to keep the analog signals of its 15 translator stations operating until January 10, 2022. Many of its translators are in extreme rural parts of the state where that one translator is their only OTA source.

Here they are in motion.

This new look cleans up so many of the bulky elements from the 2016 version, so that makes it an automatic upgrade, for me. Better balance of the blue and white elements, while keeping the bare bones structure. And I LOVE the flashes of the peacock colors in certain animations. Not divert the conversation, but I need to take a personal victory lap, here. During the pandemic, I screwed around with some ideas for a new O&O look, and I love that the NBC designers had some similar ideas to me. I didn't share these with anyone, and I had no prior knowledge to what was going to roll out. I kind of predicted the time/temp realignment (pic #1), though I left in the old, full-width social ticker and only slightly modified the 2016 L3s. I also tried out a look that emphasized the use of the peacock rainbow on a white lower third (#2). Anyway...

Pretty good evolution of Look N.

That “blog” reported Emily’s departure. yes forgot about Michelle! That’s 4! they just hired Justin Andrew’s. So that’s one replacement for a reporter position.

Because it is not necessary and redundant (the anchors always introduce themselves).
