I at first did not have much hope for this rebrand but the new intro, updated 87 theme, in studio graphics actually changes my mind! I can't wait to see this in action!

True, most networks in foreign countries (like Canada) have a six and ten newscast. Always found it weird why the US networks never catched on, likely because of our "local first" vision. BBC airs newscasts at 6 and 10 (formally nine when ITV still had "News at Ten" and so does ITV. Always also found it weird why for like at 6/5 in the US, local newscast came first then national while internationally (UK especially) it is the opposite.

I thought they learned their lesson with "The Jay Leno Show"?

I've seen some decent mocks on YT (and here on TVNT as well) showing what the Evening News might look like with the modern CBS brand with graphics and an intro. Perhaps some might be possible accurate predictions...

Whatever it is (if anything), it'll probably make the set worse

Inside Edition hasn't even be on WGCL for a year! It seems a little ludicrous to move something so soon. It is harder to have more news as an CBS affiliate with TPIR, LMAD (depending on where you are in the county for time), Y&R, B&B, AND The Talk. I'm all for canceling the latter though

The KOLN graphics aren't that bad for Gray standards, in fact their quite good. Perhaps WGCL and the Meredith stations will get something similar (likely in WGCL'S case, new graphics and a rebrand might be in store with the new upcoming set )

oh gosh imagine Hearst's short ass intro's with WXIA's logo.....

Ain't that a way to go out!

Good for her, she'll do great I'm sure! Not the first time an Atlanta anchor went to Philly or vis versa, Lorrie Wilson for example went from WGCL to WCAU to WSB

What a mouthful of a newscast title though!

Knowing TENGA that might be a new logo sometime in the future

Get ready for "New At This American Morning Hour Day"

Gotta the ad revenue some how!

I feel like some people are getting the wrong impression of our thoughts. The set's nice, modern, and we'll rounded despite everything being along the sides. The plain heart of the matter is a new set is the LAST thing this (and so many stations that Nexstar is either getting new sets for or recently did) station needed while the stations that DO need a new set don't get one.

ANOTHER GOD **** DESK IN THE CORNER!!

There is honestly something so real with Dan Rather holding a pointer and pointing at the map. These days that same map and location would be used graphically with highlights. I know people say "oh that doesn't work today" with the old morning sets but you can still have some depth and warmth to a set and have some of the heavy use of technology used today. A perfect example is the 2013 Today set or the 2005 GMA set when they went to HD.

A downgrade, like the rest of this package! Definitely something that would be considered above average for a Grey station these days Thank you so much, now half of the broadcasting community won't get any sleep tonight! (In all seriousness though great Photoshop skills) Likely because like most things that used to come out of WRIC, it was just to menacing, sharp, and jarring

Why the hell does anyone seem to like this on YT? This is just TOO busy and inconsistent, even the lower thirds are hard to look at and don't get me started on the intro! Trust me I like 3D news opens these days but this is NOT how you do it! Who approved this and Areil, KHNL is the only station that it works with!

Honestly I was not a fan of WLS's last weather graphics so these are a welcomed change! I do hope the lower thirds look just as nice and a suitable open is used. You said this before the weather graphics debuted but probably the same old bowl of soup. Random philly shots, end it with something that looks better as promo or return from commercial but with the new graphics

I know this is probably a lost cause considering Fairbanks is one of the smallest markets in the nation but when on earth is Gray going to do something with KTVF and sister station KXDF?? Seriously they've owned the stations since 2017 and have yet to do ANYTHING, no new sets or graphics yet KTVF is using the WMC graphics for weather, heck both are not even in HD yet!

Looks better than KTVF's living room with a working TV after a hurricane
