Those lowers in the 5PM tease are expanded snipes from Look N's topical promo graphics. I always thought they should have been the standard lowers for that package instead of the whole cable news-esque inserts they went with. That said they clash with Looks S. Also someone should tell them they're two weather packages behind. They're still using the original Look N weather templates.

Looks like WCAU is next up. Updated sponsor plug graphic popped up today:

Looks like they screwed up the keying of the logo. Alpha channels are your friend, people.

Yeah I doubt it will pass regulatory muster. Not in its present form anyway.

I guess you haven't seen the Philly skyline since before 1984. There's a bunch of notable looking buildings in our skyline these days and this is just a piece of what it features: Comcast Technology Center is what you're referring to. It's the tallest building in Philly now and one of, if not the tallest in the country outside of New York and Chicago.

I see elements of Look N, Look G, and even the Nightly look. It's a really good evolution to Look N that really cleans up the presentation.

The CBS O&O/Peter Dunn scandal detailed the environment of the shop very well.

Not to mention we're talking about one or two channels that have virtually no real programing outside of live sports.

I think once they get new management at the top of the O&O division then work can be done to fix the individual stations. After what came out earlier this year about Peter Dunn and co esp in relation to how they wanted KYW run, it shows just how deep a hole they're in. I believe they just recently hired a new GM and they certainly have their work cut out for them. It seemed like Brien Kennedy had a good vision for the station going forward but was thwarted by his bosses and ended up leaving as a result (and who could blame him). You can tell the station is hurting for revenues given their recent set "refresh". I'm just guessing, but given the number of other CBS O&Os that have adopted what was originally just WCBS' set, they could get a good deal on it if they wanted a new set, but they chose to just replace all the monitors and Duratrans on what is essentially a 14 year old set. Yes the basic structure and elements of it have been around since they moved in to that building. Only the desk has been fully replaced since then. What they may have to do is beef up the sales department and start selling segments and/or launch a lifestyle show just to generate cash to weather the storm. Stations have recovered from much much worse including this one whose real dark age ran for a good 13 years including the entire 90's into the early 2000s.

As a surprise to no one. RSNs can't survive without at least one major team to partner with.

New hockey look officially debuted tonight although it's only going to have about 2 months of use nationally

Something of note, they're dropping their Monday and Wednesday night games. I wonder if NBC, CBS, FOX or Turner might want to sweep in and pick up those games.

Did MLBN/NHLN shrink the feed or did Bally hike up the bar. Seems like the latter to me.

Looks like Ukee and Jessica have individual setups in front of separate monitors. It doesn't look like either are in the main studio at all so we may finally see them getting a much needed new set.

I'm surprised Comcast didn't put a bid to be their rights holder either via NBC Sports NW or a new RSN for Seattle. They seem to like having RSNs in regions where they are the dominant cable provider.

They'll probably wait till the 2022 NHL Winter Classic and change everything then...that is if they plan on having one network wide package again which it doesn't look like they intend on doing. I'm sure they want to keep their EPL broadcasts aligned with the SkySports look, their NFL look is more of an evolution of the 2015 look than anything else so that could change for this upcoming Super Bowl, and they've been slowly rolling out a unique look for the NHL that started way back in 2019 for the Stanley Cup Finals and if they do intend on finishing the look by replacing the scorebar and lower 3rds, then that isn't going anywhere any time soon.

I didn't know Anzio left. This is a good get for the station.

That's clearly not the full schedule. I dunno why they'd release this if they don't have the details for all the games for the first two rounds fully pinned down.

Yup. Glenn is currently covering for her while she's on vacation.

Filling in for Britney Shipp who's on maternity leave.

That's just from the CBS O&O coronavirus special graphics. Been seeing these since the beginning of the outbreak.

Jim Rosenfield explained how they're handling the outbreak: Notice he said weather and digital teams are working remotely (ie from home).

That leaves DC as the only RSN with the 2008 set (although they gave it nice refresh a few years ago).

There were some CBS executives (including Les Moonves) that were placed on the Entercom board as part of the spinoff. Their seats were temporary while the new company got on its feet. I dunno if they're still currently there (well we know Les isn't lol) or not but those were the terms.
