New graphics premiered.

 

The open basically looks the same, but has been made shorter.

 

The lower-thirds look cartoonish and they went with a bold condensed font for the main text. Is the text an afterthought?

 

The logo, now stacked in two lines, stays on the left side of the screen like the other CBS newscasts and local news. (Previously it would move above the lower-third.)

The font is Flama Condensed Bold. News and Sports uses it in tandem with TT Norms.

WSB is now using the new graphics in full, as they have debuted the standard open.

CBS Mornings is rolling out a new affiliate ticker on Monday.

Recently (this week I think?) I saw a brief part of After Midnight on KTVT, then Comics Unleashed was on afterward.  IDK if that was a KTVT deal, or if that was a network thing.

It’s on KTVT’s end, they have the show on their late night schedule. I was tricked, too; I thought CBS had kept it around.

The ESPN NBA revolving door continues to spin. Doc Rivers has been hired as the new coach of the Milwaukee Bucks.

KTVN is the first affiliate to adopt the new O&O look.

NN is branching out into radio.

Mark L. Walberg and Pat Finn were also career game show hosts, as well.

I think Jess was right over on the Discord. The breed of “game show host” is extinct.

WHIO has debuted as well. 
 

WFXT is on the clock.

Add WPXI to the list.

Changes coming.

- MiA expands to weekends with Hena Doba, airing from 7-10am ET starting January 27.

Starting Jan. 27:

- Elizabeth Vargas Reports and The Hill are switching timeslots. Vargas airs at 5pm ET and Hill at 6pm ET.

Weekday MiA is losing an hour, now airing from 6-9am ET, with Markie Martin solo-anchoring. Adrienne Bankert is moving to a special projects role. NN Live with Marni Hughes will air from 9am-noon ET, and NN Now with Nichole Berlie gains an hour, airing from noon-3pm ET.

They’re restoring the 4:30am?

KIRO has debuted, but they kept the bug from the previous package.

WFTV has debuted as well.

Pretty much any network that broadcasts the Super Bowl sends out their entire unit (news, sports and entertainment divisions) to the site of the game every year. Sometimes, the whole parent company of the network is involved.

Did they debut anything else but the lower thirds, OTS, and double box? Any new intro, transitions, etc or are they using a mish mash of this and their "old" package? If they did, have video?

Debuted the full package, intro and all.

Action News Jax has also debuted this package today.

MLB will reportedly control the Rockies broadcast next season. No changes to broadcasters.

Oh great. Now where am I going to find out the latest in vinyl flooring or mortgage rates?

Update: GDW is moving to 3pm.

WUSA is replacing Great Day Washington with a 9am hour of Get Up DC.

After Midnight has a premiere date -- January 16 (yep, next Tuesday).

Actually, in two weeks.

Was this entire operation built from the ground up, or was their already existing staff?

 

Ground up.

Univision also carries the parade in Spanish as well.  Not sure if KTLA still has a local broadcast.

 

Seeing as the organization is non-profit, they're probably very liberal with their TV rights.  It's not like the Macy's Thanksgiving  Day Parade which has an exclusive arrangement with NBC, leaving CBS to broadcast the parade in the public domain as it's on a public street in New York.

KTLA still does their local broadcast and still repeats it throughout the day and in primetime. Their coverage is also on Great American Family.

News is being restored to KDNL. They are running The National Desk at 6am, 5pm and 10pm starting January 1st.

Gray has filed a trademark for the Gulf Coast Sports & Entertainment Network.

Assuming this is aimed at New Orleans and they’re getting the Pelicans after they end things with Bally.
