Having it horizontal actually looks a lot better than that stacked logo in previous spots. I'll also say that definitely is vestigial given they aren't mentioning the 3 at all verbally.

Yes Sunday Morning Baseball on Peacock. Started last season.

Oooof. I kinda see where they're going with this. Really smacks of their late '80s logo: If that's the case they might as well have dug up the old 3 and used that.

I wouldn't be surprised if KYW goes sans box and fully embraces the CBS News Philadelphia brand. Them moving towards the brand even before launching the new graphics and music kinda hints at them going in that direction. I think the Eye-3 logo goes away altogether when they do launch the new look.

Going by the announcement, it sounds like 6, 7, and 11.

Hadn't seen this announced anywhere but NBC Sports completely overhauled their app. Gone is the clunky old app that was a mess to navigate and stream in the background to one that looks like it takes the best elements of Peacock and Xfinity's Streaming app. Here's some screenshots:

Here's a look at the modified NBC Sports baseball score bug. I'm assuming the pitch clock will go where the peacock is (with Spring Training production values limited NBC Sports Philadelphia is showing a camera shot of the clock in a separate box).

Pretty sure that's not true as most of the EPL matches on USA are simulcast on Peacock.

They had the opens already to go for tonight: I have to say Charlie is sounding rough these days. I wonder if they have plans to move on from him in the future. Maybe to someone like Paul Turner.

They'll also be running an hour long special this Thursday at 8PM to say good bye to him.

I'm guessing they'll hire a younger up and comer from within the station group.

You can file this one under "It's about damn time", the RSNs are heading to Peacock (complete with live sports [IE no blackouts])by the end of the year in their regional markets: https://thestreamable.com/uk/news/peacock-will-carry-nbc-regional-sports-networks-in-select-markets-by-end-of-year

I don't understand why they don't just build an insert package based on the animation package they debuted last fall. The old inserts really clash with the new animations. Hell you can even base the design of those new inserts off the old stuff to make migration to the new look easier.

Yeah that appears to be the case. The traditional scorebar appeared a few mins ago.

The Flyers' first preseason game on NBC Sports Philadelphia is tonight and they trotted out this monstrosity of a scorebar. Please tell me this is temporary:

Looks like a superior version of them yes.

Love all of it except the lowers and the font weights they went with. TT Norms is a very versatile font with a variety of weights and widths and they went with medium condensed? As a designer I would have went a normal width and mixed thin/medium weights (for first and last names) for the talent lowers and medium weight for everything else. Secondly the lowers themselves are just too damn big with way too much wasted space. It is good to see the I Love Chicago signature be put out to pasture for the CBS jingle. Pretty sure I saw somewhere KYW would be debuting theirs somewhere around the fall season kickoff. Maybe this coming Sunday night after football.

They switched three weeks ago.

Not surprising. They're the only one of the NBC RSNs that didn't get the group set or any other upgrades to their facility. There was talk about them moving out of their dated facility in Bethesda and in with WRC but those plans were squashed even before COVID. BTW if it wasn't clear in the in press release, Monumental owns the Caps and Wizards so this would become a team owned and operated RSN.

WPHL is for all intents and purposes an independent station and run themselves as such. Yes they carry the MyNet primetime stuff but they've long since distanced themselves from the network. I'm sure Nextar is eager to get their newly acquired network on their #4 market station asap. As for WPSG, CBS seems to have no issues owning unaffiliated stations in duopoly markets (see LA & Boston). I could definitely see them fully bringing back the Philly 57 branding (given that they already have done so in logo form when the CW was originally launched, but verbally only referring to it as the CW Philly).

I assume none as exclusives. You might see select, if not all games available on those platforms as simulcasts.

The set has been under construction for awhile now and Kathy's been in the position on an interim basis for much of that time. I'm pretty sure she signed off on it. That said, with as much as the station is bleeding money, I doubt they'd rip out a set this close to the finish line.

She's actually been there for awhile as they went through the whole mess with leadership. She was also a high up staffer at KYW back during their News Tonight era in the early 90s. It's a good hire as she knows the market inside and out so she can at the very least make the station watchable again.

Erin Coleman came to WCAU from WGCL as well.

This talent shortage isn't just limited to Action News either. Saw a promo for this week's FYI Philly with TaRhonda Thomas hosting with Alicia. You know it's bad over there when they have to have a hard news reporter host the station's entertainment show.
