NYNews 54 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I just saw a promo for WCBS's News this Morning featuring Rob and Mary that look again very similar (they're in a building with exposed brick) to the ones WNBC has been airing for Today in NY. What is is wrong with WCBS, can't they be original? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12084-wcbs-rips-off-wnbc-promo-again/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshow 166 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Because they have an exposed brick background? These promos have been airing for a little over a month.

NYNews 54 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Because they have an exposed brick background? These promos have been airing for a little over a month. Yes. I don't think it's a coincidence. I haven't watch WCBS in a while, I tuned in for their U.S. Open preview yesterday. And WNBC has been running their promos for a while now, much longer than a month.

nynewsguru 1 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 WCBS seems to not be creative and that is why they keep copying WNBC's promos. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12084-wcbs-rips-off-wnbc-promo-again/#findComment-75359 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 325 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 It could be that they are hiring a company to do these promos for them and the production team just happens to pick a script that is very similar to WNBCs..

WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Under Peter Dunn, CBS stations have a history of copying NBC. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12084-wcbs-rips-off-wnbc-promo-again/#findComment-75483 Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupwfan 97 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Under Peter Dunn, CBS stations have a history of copying NBC. This is why there's no originality in this country's news business. How come The Eye's network news have the "Originality" (hence their slogan, "Original Reporting.") when they can't have the same originality to their O&O newscasts? (even down to the promos!)
