As of September 29th, the NBC American Crimes diginet is now NBC True CRMZ. Yes, that's exactly how they spell Crimes in their name.

I liked the KCAL News brand. It was a bit jarring at first when they switched to KCAL branding full time, but I've grown to really like it. But the eventual name change to CBS News Los Angeles was probably inevitable.

This is Cloo (formerly Sleuth) and Syfy (you know) (from the same company even!) all over again.

Larry Burns must have been in charge of the rebrand

Forgive the reasonable explanation, but in a 2025 world of laptops and using internet to send in video, and running with the assumption at least some photogs who live outside of the city have take home vehicles, a new mic flag roll out might take a while, especially in New York. The potential overtime cost or lost productivity of getting everyone to 30 Rock quickly to do a unilateral rollout isn't worth it for how inconsequential a new look microphone flag is to getting the job done. The mic flag as the primary way of reminding viewers of what station they are watching is a dinosaur leftover from the pre always-on station logo bug days.

KCAL News has been rebranded to CBS News Los Angeles.

Spectrum News is no longer exclusively on Spectrum... in certain markets. Its expanding its reach to Xfinity (Comcast) in select markets, including for NY1 in Northern New Jersey and Western Connecticut, BN9 for Tampa Bay and News 13 for Central Florida. It has also been in California as well since the L.A. wildfires from January, and now subfeeds are being launched for the Bay Area and Sacramento. https://tvnewscheck.com/journalism/article/spectrum-news-expands-distribution-to-xfinity-tv-customers/
