Great to know, KWWL is still using the Quincy Era set and graphics and probably other stations as well. Also welcome to TVNT!

Their current logo is a nod to the last one they had under Jefferson-Pilot's ownership prior to Raycom's purchase (albeit is not quite the same):
I personally disliked this logo because it looked like it was done on Microsoft Paint. The current logo is still better than this one IMHO. -

CBS programming helps. A lot.
For Daytime and Primetime absolutely, their News Department on the other hand.

I personally like it, especially how different of a set design it is for a Gray station. I really like the interview area, the different monitors, and that the anchors are still sitting. My only gripe is that the monitor behind the anchors is a little small compared to the massive back wall monitors from the previous two sets. Other than that it’s great.

If it is in January, just think that it would be around the 20th anniversary of the KCBS/KCAL merge.

I'd assume it would be Shawn getting promoted, yeah.
Tonight was Doreen's last newscast. Here's the final 30 minutes of tonight's 6PM, which was entirely dedicated to her:
Complete with the “My Mood” closing theme, brilliant!- 3

Interesting seeing an old KENS newscast without any of the audible banter at the end, goes straight to black.

KWWL, which is now owned by Allen Media, still have the same set and graphics.

KCRG is no longer Eastern Iowa’s “24 Hour News Source”. They are now “Your Trusted Local News Source”, which they have used going to break the last few weeks. There are also new graphics which I haven’t seen on other Gray stations yet. The Weather graphics and on air bug are the same, but wouldn’t be surprised if they change soon.

Two Departures at KCRG, both for different reasons.

I was thinking the same thing. Mr. NBC voicing a news open for and ABC O&O? Dark should be voicing a news open for rival station KRON 4, which was indeed the NBC affiliate at the time.
Shouldn't it be Mr. ABC himself Ernie Anderson doing the voiceover for THIS KGO open?
I heard Anderson's voice in the other two other opens using the rare KGO theme
http://www.newsmusicsearcharchive.com/#3,1,378When WBZ went from NBC to CBS, Danny Dark was still the VO for their news opens. Must have been a contractual thing despite the affiliate change.

I had the honor of going to the same church as Donna when I lived near Baton Rouge for a brief time, couldn’t be nicer. RIP to a great anchor, and a great person.
