Aww man, a total downgrade for KSWB when they move. FOX5 is a 2 story building and well kept, however, KUSI’s building is so dated and falling apart. I remember them saying how the roof is leaking in the center of the studio and different parts of the newsroom. I hope Nexstar will invest and will bring the building up to date. KSWB’s building doesn’t have enough space for 2 studios. The way their studio is set up was such a unique design during the WB News at Ten era. (I can’t find the website that shows the design and layout) Basically, it was a hybrid newsroom and corner studio design along with a curved staircase that leads to an upstairs open area with a balcony and a corner office that overlooks downstairs. right below the upstairs corner office used to be the news director’s office which is now the weather center when the relocated the newsroom into the center of the building.

Looks like they also kept the 13 on the desk. KPIX is the only one in the group to change it to the call letters instead.

FOX 5’s BDI Set was under the Tribune era. Hopefully after this merger or sale, they won’t bust a KDVR and downgrade. then again KSWB’s original studio is very small during WB era and relocated the newsroom when they got the 360 set.

Eight CBS Stations to Ditch CW and Go Independent This Fall
SFTV replied to AKA's topic in General TV
KPIX will need to ramp up and hire more staff including at least 2 more meteorologists and will be competing heavy with KRON of PIX decides to go the KCAL route. -

KPIX uses all the cuts except the main intro heard on the other stations in the group. if they didn’t use that tacky 11pm production music for “The Late News,” then that main intro theme / opening cut seen on WCBS would work for 11pm The closest KPIX can get to using that theme is heard on the opening tease on WCBS before the intro. That cut with the soft ending (:17-:27) is used for the Noon and 3 closing.

There’s too many CBS 2’s. 4 to be exact in the O&O station group. Hence why they want to give each market a unique and local feel with the call letters since channels don’t mean anything these days with streaming. This leaves WCBS the only one that kept the CBS 2 in its branding. Chicago is going the call letter route like KDKA, and KCBS focusing on KCAL instead.

KPIX viewers might think it’s Breaking News since Niners are Red and Gold. Then again KRON viewers are used to its Red and White look
-
KPIX updated the weather graphics as of this morning.
-
WCBS debuted the new look https://youtu.be/60fbdDWX9s4

I actually don’t mind the CBS NEWS PITTSBURGH Black Box. It blends well with the KDKA BOX
-
KGO in newsroom for a while. They mentioned during the morning show that the studio is getting new lighting.

It’s kind of tricky with the last O&O desk design since the Channel Number is designed into the desk. -KCBS killed off their desk for the new KCAL set -KPIX is the only one that executed well by changing the number into call letters and the monitor on the desk says CBS News Bay Area. -WFOR kept the number branding and even removed the wave on the desk. But to me it looks tacky to have both 4’s stamped on the desk. Not sure if they have a monitor or if it’s a duratrans. we’ll see now the others in the group with the O&O desk will turn out (KOVR, WBBM, WCBS, & WJZ)

Sandra Maas wins case against KUSI. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/courts/story/2023-03-09/maas-verdict?fbclid=IwAR14_Dm8iCQ0iGpU1FKCbm8OtkeoDtjtfc9OIj1V5M3HefrkG8rBAy_1dv0

Looks like they kept the Telemundo O&O/KNSD (2016-2022) Jack Morton desk design with the new updated NBC wall design.
-
I’m guessing the KCBS set is now obsolete. I was thinking Sports Central would’ve salvaged it.
-
When I saw the morning graphics, I thought they’re still working out the kinks. Looking at this picture, it’s still the same. When KPIX debuted the look. They sticked with the color schemes….The Breaking News is in Red as so as the CBS Los Angeles bug should be red too. SKYCAL? You would think SkyEYE
-
It’s pretty much what KPIX does with KBCW in the mornings. They will simulcast at 6am on both channels as CBS NEWS Bay Area Morning Edition. Then KBCW will continue from 7-9am KCBS will be the opposite. KCAL will be branded on KCBS instead.
-
CW Bay Area was dropped when KPIX dropped CBS 5 / CBS 5 Eyewitness News in 2013 in favor for call letters. they are branded as KBCW and KBCW 44 cable 12. With their heavy jingle imaging “44 cable 12” promos that air throughout the day https://youtu.be/GSTLBPVjnHE

That part! NBC was ahead of its time look at NBC Bay Area, and NBC Connecticut. They have been doing well without the channel reference. Boston and San Diego had a short lived branding until it decided to bring back the channel numbers.
-
Syndicated programming now with the updated bug. If that’s the case, makes me wonder what the new mic flags will look like.
-
KTVU called they want royalties for the opening b-roll shot
-
Waiting to see when NBC makes its rounds to the Bay Area. They just hired some new anchors not too long ago.
