CBS New Graphics Apparenly Revealed

One complaint I have from the start is that the transition from [f]CBS New York ->[t]CBS New York -> CBSNewYork.com under the on-air logo goes way to quickly. It should be a slow transition but it is just completely distracting.

I've always wanted to know why CBS didn't develop separate opens for their CW stations (like WPSG and WPCW). They went to the trouble of putting WPSG's callsign under the CBS3 EWN logo, but it still says "KYW PHILADELPHIA" at the very start of the open. Is it that difficult to change it to "WPSG PHILADELPHIA"?

 

KCNC doesn't seem to have them...

 

I hope they adopt it soon; I have always hated the 2010 stuff (and they were the third operation, after WCBS and KCBS-KCAL, to adopt that).

 

Tomorrow I believe the full package premieres. I'm watching the 10 pm right now. I SEE THE NEW SET! Beautiful!! And I also see elements of the new package (side by sides and a 'CBSDenver.com' bug), but not everything yet. I'm literally chomping at the bit. Tomorrow. Tomorrow...

 

The duratrans are like the KPIX set with a skyline and CBS eyes (2D, though, not 3D). But I also note swishes of yellow which is a reference to the new package.

 

I can't tell you how nice it is to see a new news desk.

 

UPDATE: And I was wrong. It looks like a custom DDG job.

 

The only thing I would change is the social media bug under the logo. I was just make it transition gradual.

 

Plus. I see similarities to the NBC Graphics but it's totally not a copy. I like.

 

Yeah, after seeing it in use, it doesn't seem like the complete rip-off we were making it out to be last week.

I guess no one has made the connection yet but both CBS New York and CBC Philly's opens went from saying "This is CBS... in High Definition" to "Live from the CBS [3 studios in Philadelphia] (or) [broadcast Center in New York City]." I wonder if this will be nation wide?

 

Plus, on a different note, in the middle of the WCBS broadcast, they changed the twitter logo under the bug from the CORRECT logo to the OLD logo...

 

KYW has the new cuts. They sound pretty good.

What the heck happened during the weather segment? They killed the bug but kept up the SoMe (Social Media) animation. That's silly.

WCBS did the same thing, but only during the seven-day. I think it would make more sense if the station logo appeared on the header of the graphic or something and the bug disappears so that it's not on the screen twice... but that's not the case here.

 

(I had some computer issues and now it's going slowly for me but I'm still waiting for this montage to upload. It'll be on my blog shortly.)
