chrelevator 29 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Wow...those new graphics look awesome!!! By the way, KYW totally copied KDKA's Expect More promo (right down to the music) at the beginning of the above video.............
BehindNYNews 147 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Update to enforcer on WCBS plus new mic flags.
newsmusicfan 13 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 I was correct, WBBM did not launch the new graphics tonight
BehindNYNews 147 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 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.
24994J 5669 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Promos aired during the Emmys for WBBM are old graphics, doesn't look like Chicago is launching tonight along with NYC and Philly. The only thing new this weekend is Jim Williams' shaved head.
IceManNYR 242 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 I agree the text below the bug changing is very annoying.
chrelevator 29 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Nothing new at KDKA...I doubt they'll launch the graphics this week, to be honest.
Samantha 2906 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Loving the graphics and the new cuts of Enforcer. Sure beats KPHO which continues to use 1994 cuts of the package.
groupwfan 97 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 I'm speechless. This is 3's best GFX package since their Hothaus GFX.
chrelevator 29 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 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"?
kshow 167 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 The graphics are okay. I really just want to see more of of the versatility of the graphics package. I didn't see much tonight.
Geoffrey 876 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 New WCBS open on my blog here: http://newsbyte2.blogspot.com/2013/09/new-graphics-and-enforcer-music-debut.html I'll update the post with a few promos and a montage before I turn in for the night...
channel2 982 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 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).
ABC 7 Denver 1741 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 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.
kshow 167 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 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.

rah6448 21 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 Not sure if KCBS/KCAL is debuting yet, but a new "Mapcam" header appeared on KCAL roughly an hour ago. http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/video?autoStart=true&topVideoCatNo=default&clipId=9335139
channel2 982 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 KCNC is also using the new Enforcer cuts.
TVLurker 255 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 I just checked, they got a new on-air bug but they're still using the old graphics. I don't think they're debuting just yet on KCBS.
BehindNYNews 147 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 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...
ABC 7 Denver 1741 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 I just checked, they got a new on-air bug but they're still using the old graphics. I don't think they're debuting just yet on KCBS. Tomorrow I bet.
ABC 7 Denver 1741 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 KYW has the new cuts. They sound pretty good. [yt]Bb31iCB8aSc[/yt] Full photos at HulkieD.com. What the heck happened during the weather segment? They killed the bug but kept up the SoMe (Social Media) animation. That's silly.
Geoffrey 876 Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 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.)
