I think the biggest thing for everyone here is to relax because we really don't have that much information. We know they are going to Eyewitness News and "new branding will be incorporated appropriately throughout the station including show opens, graphics and advertising." That is literally all we know. So the drama about music and staff changes, etc... that is all speculation. What is written above is all we know for sure.

While many think Idler is killing WLS, I agree with him saying, WLS needed to be refreshed. Again, while many of you think the future is dim for WLS, I think it is very bright.

I wonder why he is just doing Saturday Mornings?

Here is a fun new promo for Eyewitness News This Morning. Note not only does the commercial have Heather, it is basically promoting Bill and Her. I love it and am glad she is getting in the commercials and ID's now. To me its just like the old "7 Minutes" commercials just with a new song. I like it a lot.

Here is the new WABC Weekend Morning Team ID... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL1F94rlnpc I wonder why they are debuting the new ID's but no new opens yet.

My bad, it was a graphic not normally used outside of medical reports so it looked new out of place.

They were doing a live shot of Jim Dolan in DC.

A possible leak of new graphics tonight at 11. It had a different lower third on the live shot and then it was partially covered by the current lower third. I wish I got a photo but I was taking it in so quickly I didn't think of it fast enough. If someone wants to DVR the rerun of the news at 11, it happened pretty early in the newscast. Hopefully the new opens/graphics etc.. will debut soon.

I have to disagree and frankly say I don't think it looks anything like the World News graphics. I think it was just a special done in house. From anything we've seen so far, the new graphics are more likely to be like the new top story cue.

Here is a look at WABC going pink.

I agree with NewserNYC, I don't see any similarity.

If this is what the new graphics are based on, I would be very pleased.

A very interesting new top stories graphic and cue just played at the bottom of the 5pm hour. It even had the new logo. Could it be a preview of updated graphics, TBA.

September is coming to a close and while I thought at least the new opens would debut by now, I would be really surprised if they don't debut them before November sweeps. We will see...

Looks like Scott Clark is in New York, Diana Williams posted a picture of her and him on twitter. pic.twitter.com/7y3FSeSm88 I think dropping the Channel part would be very stupid as that is part of there main brand. If anything get rid of WABC-TV and just have Channel 7 Eyewitness News.

Here you all are... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0tSh1_3G3Q&feature=youtu.be

It just aired, I got a video of it, i'll have it up in a few minutes.

Just the new ID's tonight I guess.

No & It only had the logo, no graphics on it.

"New York's #1 news, Channel 7 Eyewitness News at 11" with the new shots of the anchors.

No but if I see it again (I'm sure I will, they air all the time during prime time) I will.

New 11pm ID just aired! Looks great! Be on the lookout for new opens tonight.

Very odd that in all but the 11pm newscasts the open says "Live from Studio 46" but at 11pm it says "Live from the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City." Me personally, I would combine them and say "Live from Studio 46 at the CBS Broadcast Center."

DAMN! They didn't get rid of "You've been watching CBS 2 News in High Definition" at the end.

I am very pleased that they changed the words to the open... no more "high definition" in the intro!!! It is horrible... way to distracting.
