CBS correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti reported on today’s edition of the Evening News that CBS News is pausing all activity on Twitter as Elon Musk’s handling of the website is under scrutiny. I assume this also applies to the O&Os as well, as (of this posting) most have not tweeted in 2-3 hours.

Looked at WGN’s Thanksgiving schedule, and it appears they’re not running Bozo, Gar & Ray this year, instead replacing it with the two Bozo’s Circus 1960s and 1970s specials.

Meanwhile, the Chicago Thanksgiving Parade finally has a new, proper home after last year’s VPOD embarrassment: WCIU.

As for Telemundo, no IRL pictures of their set yet, but they'll have four set locations around Qatar.

Here's a rendering of one of those sets in the meantime.

Best set in the market running away.

Here’s a look at Fox’s territory in Doha. Looks to be another Filmwerks project.

And set renderings.

Word from informalsky on the Discord is that CBS News Detroit and the new graphics launch have been delayed until January.

With the KCAL morning show launching next month, I now predict KCBS/KCAL will be first out the gate with the new branding/graphics. Either them or CBS News Detroit.

It’s a part of NBCU layoffs, apparently.

And Eagles-Texans is going to WPHL in Philly.

The Sun-Times’ Jeff Agrest is reporting that when WFLD’s deal with the Bears ends, WGN is a possible landing spot.

Marquee is also in the running as well.

Here’s the intro:

KRIV shunting TNF to KTXH; no word on WTXF’s plans yet.

World Series Game 3 postponed to Tuesday. WTXF and KRIV will have a big programming decision to make on Thursday, considering both are Amazon TNF affiliates and the Eagles and Texans play on TNF this week.

Sorry to be repeating this, but when do we think we will see the new graphics? Every post I've seen says November. November will be here before you know it.

It’s gonna start rolling out after the midterms. CBS News Detroit is also expected to launch next month, as well.

Maybe because it’s the first of the month? That’s my best guess.

And it’s also the last sweeps month of the year.

Megan Mitchell is joining WFAA from WLWT starting in January.

And that will be down to only CBS as they are Launching "Big Ten Saturday Night" Football in the fall next season.

Uhh…SNL?

Sadly all the networks gave up on Saturday nights years ago.  I would not expect to ever see again a high rated night like when CBS had All in the Family, Bob Newhard Show (the original), Carol Burnett among other top rates Saturday night shows.  All the networks treat Sat nights as an afterthought for too long.

Saturday night is the rerun and sports night these days. CBS and NBC are the only ones putting out new content that night.

WBBM renamed its 6pm newscast to Hour 18 (6pm is the 18th hour in the day) during the early stages of the pandemic.

A very well done look at some of the great work they've put out over the years.

 

I like that they included the time NBC O&Os were about to lose the channel numbers. (Unless I'm misremembering, this look was never really used, aside from maybe some promos and bus stop ads before an aborted launch, correct?)

KNSD was the only one in the group that went all-in on this look.

Fox is taking over the World Baseball Classic from MLBN.

The NBC RSNs have slightly updated their NBA scorebug.

There is also a new 3-point animation, as well.

The creator of this thread has been inactive on these boards for over two years. Let's rename it.

And here's a new Instagram reel from WCBS with the CBS News New York branding and elements from the aforementioned graphics package.

She was the only live reporter using the new flag, this evening, so definitely a slow rollout, for now. Honestly, as someone who has seen a version of the upcoming graphics, even I might get a little discouraged if we don't see them in time for November sweeps. Late October has been a frequent time of change, in recent years, so it'll be worth keeping an eye out, this month.

It was also seen on a Michelle Gallardo package during the 6pm today, too.
