Looks like Hearst partnered with Vivid Zero on the new diagrid look. Their 2025 studio reel contains brief clip of what appears to be WCVB's version of the open at the 0:32 second mark. https://www.facebook.com/100057501037117/videos/1278638849916517/

Hello everyone! Been a minute! Wanted to share some of our most recent episodes! Here is today's episode, which we had some breaking news about our superintendent: And the previous one: Hope you enjoy, all questions, comments, suggestions welcome as always!

Someone should give them some advice… The graphics for the headlines and the show title above it look like something a high school student who grew up in Fargo, North Dakota watching news on the cheap would make. WDIV doesn’t have these yet to my knowledge (haven’t looked lately) but it would fit right in with the rest of their ailing product. The buyouts last year were most unkind to them quality wise.

I agree. It’s a nice evolution of the diagrid graphics (even if the diagrid isn’t fully visible in the new ones), and they do fall in line with the teaser graphics that have been rolled out over the past few months.

Oh didn't know that. Sorry I jumped the gun on that one. However, I do have this one. One longtimer at WOWT will replace another (already announced retirement) longtimer at WOWT. A very well deserving pick too... Brian Mastre. https://www.instagram.com/p/DGD7bCBzv3J/?igsh=NTRocHplZWl2cXFm

A "short-term deal extension" was granted for continued negotiations between Paramount and YouTubeTV. https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2025/02/14/youtube-tv-paramount-cbs-deal/78594063007/

Is there an exact date?

yes, they will.

I'm not a fan of this update... It feels like a cheapened update... Some of the graphics/motions look like they were taken from a third-party website...

This is already happening in a sense in NYC, where WWOR re-airs the 6pm newscast of sister WNYW. Guessing, based on the article that it will eventually be a live newscast

Liking the updated L3 color scheme for GDNY! Very Today Show.

It's ambiguous, just like when they started up the 8pm on WWOR. I hope you are right for both 8&9. Once launched we will know for sure.

DFW is on a roll in terms of having live free OTA sports because now Nexstar will carry 15 Rangers games this upcoming season. It will be on KDAF plus other stations throughout the state and the South. https://tvnewscheck.com/programming/article/nexstar-to-offer-15-texas-rangers-games/

If I'm reading this correctly, they sound like they'll be live as this is L.A. after all.

Will these be live broadcasts or a repeat of the 6 pm newscasts like Fox 5 is doing on WWOR (my9) in NYC at 8 pm?

Forgive me for the link to the source. However, it looks like for the first time, KCAL will have some primetime competition. 8 and 9pm news from KTTV are coming to KCOP. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2025/2/12/new-newscasts-to-be-launched-in-la

KFAA is already home to the Mavericks. Now, they're home to the Wings as well. https://tvnewscheck.com/business/article/tegnas-kfaa-lands-dallas-wings-broadcast-rights/?utm_source=Listrak&utm_medium=Email&utm_term=Tegna’s+KFAA+Lands+Dallas+Wings+Broadcast+Rights&utm_campaign=It’s+Open+Season+On+The+Media+For+Trump’s+FCC+Chair

Dickerson is a good interviewer/storyteller, but isn’t particularly great when it comes to breaking news coverage. He appeared tense and twice stumbled over his words during the EN the day after the DC plane/helicopter collision. Plus, he tends to not pay attention to the person he’s talking to (often writing on his note pad instead). In some ways, he is over analytical. DuBois, overall, is the better of the two, imo. Not sure why CBS has been so enamored with Dickerson when they have/had other male anchors/correspondents who are just as good (if not better). I still say he must have some dirt on people…

Also worth mentioning that since the floor is also a monitor, they have done segments where the from floor to ceiling is entirely graphics like what I'm attaching.

I wonder why they opted to have only one of them anchor Plus. Contrary to our speculation of an eventual solo broadcast starring Maurice, John was the one chosen to solo anchor Plus. John is a fine journalist but I wonder why CBS consistently chooses him As an anchor when they reshuffle broadcasts.

Ahhh. No wonder there are no shadows on their feet.

Sade is back!!! YES

He anchors from the regular CBSEN studio. It’s worth noting the a majority of the new studio is simply video walls. All that surrounds John in the attached image (from Monday night) is a single U shaped video wall. The “monitor” Weijia is in - totally fake. I attached a pic of the building timelapse showing all the video walls and floor. The only actual set pieces are the wooden header, the desk, and the floor in front of it. In fact, the floor behind it is also a video wall. You’ll notice they pretape a lot of segments (including the penny one attached) on their set - it’s actually really creative.

I have a couple of fonts created by amateur typographers on DeviantArt based on the Fox logo; they don’t resemble the version introduced during the game, and seem more influenced by Gotham than Franklin Gothic.

Just a bit of a squeeze on their website though. It's decompressed on the reference page: So probably a style sheets issue.

And apparently on a Green Screen set that mimics the originating one.

With this, schedule changes... KCBS now airs the CBS Evening News at 4:00 with Plus at 4:30 while keeping the second EN airing at 6:30. KPIX now airs the CBS Evening News at 4:00 and drops their 4:30pm news to air Plus. KOVR airs Plus LIVE at 4:00pm PT, but that also means that KOVR now starts their local news at 4:30 instead. WFOR drops their 7:00pm news to air Plus.

At least FOX's refreshed scorebar was creative unlike CBS's last year where it felt generic while leaving the graphics outside of the scorebar largely untouched.

It was alright not good but not bad either guess I'm indifferent on this.

I apologize. I saw fhat there was a tribute for Bradshaw. I only saw part of the segment. It may have been for the event held earlier last week for him.

That's great to hear. I had just stumbled upon her Instagram last week, and was almost concerned that she hadn't posted in like 4 months.

Meanwhile, over on Telemundo...

To be honest, I love the new graphics.

This looks horrible.

6abc posted an in depth video about the new set. https://6abc.com/videoClip/15868410/

I've searched but have not read or found information about what happened to Guinyard.

Chris Welch is on CBS News 24/7

They also do news updates on the weekends, including on YouTube.

They're still mentioning it every time they can. Especially Brittany & Peyton.

And he just referenced it in passing at 4:30 because in this case, it was applicable to the snow moving through. Just not something they need to emphasize as hard as they did initially.

Canada Ben Mulroney is back on Canadian airwaves hosting his national radio talk show. It is on the following... AM 980 CFPL London: 9:00am-12:00pm QR Calgary - 770 CHQR: 12:00-2:00pm 880 CHED Edmonton: 12:00-2:00pm 680 CJOB Winnipeg: 02:00-04:00pm 980 CKNW Vancouver: 06:00-08:00pm https://globalnews.ca/national/program/the-ben-mulroney-show

CP24 launched their new studio this morning. It seems to be quite a compact studio with some shadowing in certain parts.

Canada An iconic place. An iconic building. Its no more for CP24 at least at the legendary, iconic institution that is... 299 Queen Street West. You can't say Toronto without that street.

Folks, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade we're told. So when an orange plume of chlorine filled the air causing school to be virtual for two weeks, hence we couldn't record in studio, make lemonade we did, in the form of a virtual episode! Despite not being together, every part of our team did an outstanding job on this episode! We still maintained a good sense of professionalism that we are known for despite the current situation and I do think it is one of our best ones! Hope you enjoy! https://lnkd.in/gQx87MND

Not the greatest look in the world but I would say this was Hearst's best L3.

I think the aim is to have the NBC logo hanging off the edge, so they don't see it as a misalignment. Something like this... But yes, it would be more visually appealing to have the peacock align with the bottom part of the 2 like such...

Logopedia is both generally reliable, but VERY frequently unreliable.

Early returns say that I hate it but I'll wait and see what it looks like on some of their bigger stations. I see someone tried to be cute and replicate the new peacock's design and animation and failed miserably. It really doesn't work when you try to shoehorn in the border that it wasn't designed for. Also it supposed to be misaligned with the 2 like that?

Very likely, it's produced by KNBC considering the time it comes on after college football, similar to what we have here in Phoenix now apparently as KPNX has a new Saturday night sports show called 12 Sports Locker Room which actually starts tonight after the NASCAR race. Have a feeling in addition to being post-college football programming to keep sports fans tuned in afterwards, this also feels like a replacement for having lost the Cardinals broadcasting rights to KPHO/KTVK & hence the post-SNF programming as well alongside their Sunday night sports show 12 Sports Tonight.
