The New Year is about to be here and a change is coming to California’s FOX O&Os starting next week. That change is the movement of West Coast News Wrap to 6:30pm and this might be part of new strategies that KTTV and KTVU are working on or have yet to disclose. This is the updated news schedule for weekday evenings in SoCal and the Bay Area as from Monday, January 5. KTTV/KCOP - LOS ANGELES 5-6:30 PM: FOX 11 NEWS (remains as is) 6:30-7 PM: West Coast News Wrap (new time) 8-10 PM: LA Live News Tonight on FOX 11 Plus (remains as is) 10 PM: The full one hour flagship newscast returns after holiday hiatus 11 PM: Good Nite LA returns to normal slot after holiday hiatus KTVU/KICU - SAN FRANCISCO/OAKLAND/SAN JOSE 5-6:30 PM: KTVU FOX 2 NEWS (remains as is) 6:30-7 PM: West Coast News Wrap (new time) 7-7:30 PM: KTVU FOX 2 NEWS (remains as is) 10 PM: The Ten O’Clock News (remains as is) 11 PM: The Eleven O’Clock News (remains as is)

ABC-Disney usually sticks to only Kelly & Mark and Tamron along with the 20th leftovers in syndication, so they probably figure CBS can get proper rates and advertisers better than they can since that's right in their wheelhouse so they don't have to worry about that.

Starting next week, West Coast Wrap moves up to 6:30 pm on both KTTV and KTVU. The change is permanent.

since we're bringing back the typeface, can we bring back the Dan Rather theme too. The 1991 theme has been recycled a lot, it would be nice if they could use one of the best themes.

Always thought that was their best talent open. Wish they’d bring it back. The one they use now is sleek but so boring. I also can’t used to calling it CBS New York. I still call it channel 2 news and that hasn’t been a thing since the 90s lol

An unusual sight today at 5pm: 2 men anchoring together, Allen Devlin and Dick Brennan. I still don't know why it's so rare in today's world, when 2 women together is so customary. I supppose the new old CBS Evening News broke the mold

Nexstar is replacing their VOs across the whole group, opting for a cheaper agency of talent, and possibly even some AI voices, at some point.

The more I look at it, the more I like it. Especially the "Evening News" in CBS' original and iconic font. It communicates, tradition, resilience, heretage and experience. Basically, this might communicate the program to prospective viewers in a way that might make a splash.
