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?

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.

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..

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!)
