Geoffrey 779 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I just saw a minute-long version of this promo. It's nice and the music is powerful but it's so vague and absolutely nothing about it is local, except for the skyline shot from the chopper at the very end. I wouldn't be surprised if the exact same promo shows up on the other O&Os. Also, none of it tells viewers why they should watch CBS 2 newscasts.

Mrtraveler01 737 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I posted some snapshots from more promos that don't offer up much more detail: http://newsbyte2.blogspot.com/2013/04/expect-more.html They also promote their Facebook and Twitter handles in an ID for the weather team but the Twitter icon is from two logos ago. I also noticed that they seem to use the same font that was on the promos from KYW that HulkieD posted. http://mctyw.net/gal...new-look-hints/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
channel2 869 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 When I saw the screenshots it struck me as pretty meaningless. I can't see KCNC using this. Their brand doesn't strike me as confused enough to resort to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their brand doesn't strike me as confused enough to resort to this. I noticed that they're also reviving the "Colorado's News Channel" brand. It would be silly and confusing to add another slogan to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Country News 435 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Expect MORE from Colorado's News Channel because we're On Your Side. This is sadly more coherent than the new WITI open. "When it matters to you, It matters to us. - FOX6 News: Because You Matter. - FOX6 News starts right now." At least KCNC's is a complete sentence.

Geoffrey 779 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 They're using the new gold 2 logo (but flat, not 3-D) on the end page of a "Tomorrow at 11" promo... If I had to guess, I'd say they're getting an updated look sometime between now and tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess 1110 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 For all those wondering, KYW finally changed the bug to the boxed logo as of today. Did they change anything else? Of course not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrelevator 28 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 NYNewsWatch posted a new CBS 2 promo, and if you look closely at the big screen behind Kristine and Maurice, the glass CBS eye is different, and seems to be rotating around in a full circle. Could this be their new graphics package? (P.S.: I am also user "chrismilton95", but I had it linked with my Facebook account, which I deactivated, so I had to start a new one under my Twitter account...)

chrelevator 28 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Those graphics aren't new at all....What's "new" about them? If you're referring to the L3 at 0:32, they've been using that for a while, and I've seen other CBS O&Os use that L3 graphic before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCAUTVNBC10 408 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I think he meant the open. That rolled out last spring to a lot of O&Os continuing Peter Dunn's hard on for mimicking NBC's graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrelevator 28 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Oh. A lot of the CBS O&Os have been using that open. KDKA uses a similar one without the logo underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrelevator 28 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I was watching KDKA-TV this morning (around 11:45) and noticed that the WCBS "Expect MORE" promo has trickled down to the station, though they use their branding and a scene from the morning news open at the end. The logo is still the same (there's no indication that they're going to a yellow "2"), but they didn't render it in 3D like in the WCBS promo. I'll try to get a picture at some point if I can. I had no idea that KDKA would start making us "Expect MORE". Could this be a sign that something new for the O&Os is still in the works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
