WCAUTVNBC10

Shame they got rid of their awesome hockey theme.

The NBC Sports Regionals are debuting at the very least a new animation motif based off the new opens they launched last summer. These kinda remind me of the package they were gonna launch for their NHL coverage. I'm not sure if the inserts will be updated when the regular season starts (they're still using the 2015 Drive insert package for at least the preseason).

I'm guessing Jessica Boyington gets the job. She filled that role before at WCAU and I'm fairly certain they hired her with David's eventual retirement in mind. They'll try her and Matt Pellman out just to do their due diligence though.

It's Kamer, guys. Only one "r".

It ain't good but it could be much worse. Also can't help but wonder if that's an element from the O&O package or not although it could pass for something from their in-house look as well.

Jim usually takes the back end of August off so we'll probably see all four in rotation till September.

Hopefully now that we have some stability up in corporate, CBS3 can actually keep its staff intact for more than 6 months.

They've been doing these since at least 2008. Basically a cheap ploy to try and lure some WCAU viewers over during the games.

The MAX Radar uses a dark green base map and multiple radar sweeps on screen. Their StormTracker 6 radar has a single sweep centered north of the city and you'll notice the base map is a much lighter shade of green.

It seems like 6 has either stopped using or has gotten rid of its personal StormTracker radar site (which was based in Warrington, PA). They've stopped referencing their "Live Double Scan" radar and only ever use the NWS radar sites using the MAX Weather System (their radar was controlled and presented on air with Baron software). I'm wondering if this was a pandemic cost cutting casualty.

No special color palette for the morning open or on-screen graphics but they're using gold looping graphics on the monitors in studio. Also the weather dept hasn't gotten the package yet:

If they had opened the show at the desk, they would have flashed them in the desk's built in monitor. Same thing really.

Night version confirmed:

WWSI switched as well. Open is almost identical to WCAU's:

The rejoin is also full length:

I hope there's different versions for different dayparts like they did with their Look C refresh and their custom Look F.

Tracy mentioned on IG she was filling in for Rosemary Connors who's on vacation. Ted's usually their goto fill in on the weekends in either daypart.

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.
