It says he'll remain at 6 for awhile. A few years is a long time for a soon-to-be 81-year-old like Chuck, so lasting longer than Bill is no guarantee.

Yes. In some BTS shots, you can see that the interview set is the only piece still standing. The green space is placed at the former weather center end, wrapping around to the anchor desk space and the unseen 4th wall.

And don't forget that hiring capable lesser-knowns has typically been Today's method. Whether it's dipping into the local pool like Pauley, Brokaw or Lauer, or building up correspondents like Couric or Guthrie, only rarely have they made splash hires like Meredith.

That's not what @MediaZone4K is talking about. Nobody is saying they shouldn't do the TOTH ID, but it looks clunky and excessive when on the omnipresent in-show bug.

When the CBS Evening News opens up every 3-6 years, it's always 'what about Anderson?' When there's an opening for a serious, veteran anchor at local or national, it's often 'what about Shepard?' When there's an opportunity for a morning show anchor, it's constantly 'what about Robin?' From CBS, CNN, NewsNation, large market Fox stations, even to freaking Jeopardy!, you spend long enough around here, and seeing the same names listed over and over like they're waiting in line at an employment agency goes from eye roll-inducing to annoying to hilarious.

Duuuuuude.

The green screen is still in use.

Which was already established in the post your quoted and all the posts that followed.

You know, you can edit posts and not double post & hide old ones.

I still think the '96 theme, especially the final version we hear at the end, would make a great breaking or election theme, co-existing with the legendary original version.

Because, as stated in the rules, creating general topic threads is not typically permitted.

Not on the level of Weeters, but as a mod, the top-4 market sections were created in a much different time. The industry was healthier and the demand for it on this site was greater. We've also always had reasonably strong Philly representation to warrant its existence. New York and Chicago conversation is similarly active. Los Angeles, admittedly not as much, but leaving out market #2 would've been weird. I'm just not sure we have the interest for such a channel for individual stations in DFW. We had briefly kicked the tires on a Texas section, but that wouldn't be my call.

It appears that Arctic Fox is the default for all newscasts, not just GDC.

Remember, there's no rule saying you can't crop your pics before posting.

There are faint rumblings that CBS might not-so-subtly push solo anchors for their stations' 6 & late newscasts. Kristine is already solo at 6, and if Maurice only stays on doing like 1 show or even just special correspondent, they could certain make her the singular, lead anchor.

All 4 got opening billing, in Martha, Jon, Mary, Rachel order. Martha got the first lines & later interviewed Vance, while Jon interviewed Walz. They were seating in the middle of the 4. Kind of a 1A/1B arrangement.

I mean, it all makes sense. Mike was live from Philly, so he handled most of the A-block, so Pedro solo at the station was adequate for the first part of the show. The 9/11 proceedings make having a bigger name on the show, with an absence, and remember, Bill anchored coverage at mid-morning.

George is the main subject of Trump's lawsuit against the network. He probably literally can't lead political coverage with Trump involved. Headlines and stuff on GMA is different. As for Whit, he did anchor post-post-show coverage from the press room on ABC News Live. Didn't see much, as I switched to local news, but he was there. Also of note, Byron Pitts anchored Nightline from the site, later on.

They did the preshow, too. They make sense, as they typically fill out the rest of the panel, though Scott is more often in the field.

He merely suggested she be added as co-anchor with Marc. He's not breaking any news.

New graphics for Sports Sunday. The outgoing look carried several design cues from the 2016 O&O graphics, so it's no surprise that this package draws a little from the 2021 look.

They had a job listing for a long time for a sports producer role that implied the possible creation of a nightly program, so this could be a first step, like the reverse process of what WGN did.

Never at the end of the shows, but they'll often turn the camera around if State Street is bustling after a show lets out, across the street. Typically a Saturday night thing.
