Link Now, starting in fall of 2021, the network will be rolling out an updated look. The circular globe motif, also known as the “dot,” is remaining. The trademark curved, all lowercase letters are also staying put, albeit with some slight modifications. Most notably, the ascender of the “b” is being shortened slightly and the tips of the “c” are being brought a bit closer together. ABC is providing guidelines on how to proportion the new globe next to other logos: it should be at least 60% of the height of other elements in the logo design. In the case of circular logos, such as the iconic “Circle 7” logo used by ABC owned stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco, that increases to 75%, presumably to prevent the two shapes from competing against each other visually. All of these applications will likely be updated in network level graphics, though it may take more time for stations to get fully up to date, especially for livery and items such as mic flags that can be pricey to replace. Other sources tell NewscastStudio that a new graphics package is in the works for some or most ABC owned stations in major markets, though there’s no immediate word on when that may debut.

The following are conflicts of interest with NBC First Alert Branding: KNBC/KCBS : Los Angeles WBTS-NECN/WBZ : Boston WCAU/KYW : Philadelphia WTVJ/WFOR : Miami

I think "First Alert" is exclusive to that station

That would be no bueno on KYW since WCAU uses First Alert.

KCRA 3 Reports clip takes up most of this clip from 11/7/88, the night before the 1988 election Reposting this - albeit ghosty/fuzzy, KSTW 11 at 11, 4/30/1995, shortly after switch to CBS. Kevin Reece anchoring. And NEW overall - Heidi Tauber anchoring KIMA NewsBeat in August 1986.

That's more than just a quirk. It's bad implementation.

Weigel doesn’t need to buy the station if they’re able to get H&I, Movies! and Decades cleared. And they’d be the only one capable of buying the station if they wanted.

Looks like WBZ has already adopted the new "CBS News Boston" branding on their CBSN stream. The logo bug and "we'll be right back" graphics have changed.

Love that they restored the footage quality. I like how dim the old lighting looks, everything in the HD era appears so washed out these days. Back to Today (1952) Im surprised news tickers were utilized this early into broadcast tv.

Note Joseph Benti's comments beginning at around the 29:45 mark. His embarrassment hints at his growing doubts about local TV news, a dissatisfaction that caused him to leave the industry a few years later.

With all due respect... So? And?

Are all the CBS O&Os getting this "First Alert Action Day" look?

CBS O&O graphics looks good. And if they haven't sold KUTV, WFRV, and KEYE-TV, they be getting the new graphics as well.

Does Nexstar Really think they will be able to compete against the unbeatable WRAL and ABC O&O WTVD? If I were Nexstar, I would sell this station to CBS Already. Raleigh is a growing market and how poor this is proves that either Nexstar has given up or doesn't care. CBS could do so much better if this station was an O&O again.
