It would not surprise me if they do new music with the CBS 5-note mnemonic.

Our good friends over at The Other Site have the new open, and speaking of new music... CBS is bringing back the music from '87, albeit slightly remixed.

I at first did not have much hope for this rebrand but the new intro, updated 87 theme, in studio graphics actually changes my mind! I can't wait to see this in action!

This open looks much better than I previously thought, and I was looking forward to it from the get-go. Great to hear the '87 theme once again as well; sounds as great as the last times.

Here are some new promo liners for the new CBS Evening News.

So this marks the 2nd return of the '87 theme, the first during Scott Pelley's run from 2011 to 2016.

Some other pictures from them

Also it's confirmed the new music remix is by AntFood, the same people who designed the new CBS Mnemonic. No more Man Made Music.

I really like set graphics. The wood look elements add a timeless feeling.

The music works well for what it is. A modern take on the 1987 theme is miles better than the awkward EDM remix they’d been using. Sounds like they incorporated the 5-note musical signature as well.

 

The twinkle effect they have on the intro looks cheesy and cheap as hell, but I guess the overall intro/graphics are an improvement over what they had.

 

I’m surprised they didn’t make further updates to the set, given that the virtual background draws heavily from Studio 57 in NY.
 

None of this will really do anything ratings-wise, of course, but I guess it’s good for brand cohesion.

I like everything about this ... except the very end.  The stars effect, sad to say cheapens this look a bit.  Kinda reminds me of ABC's Still the One stars at the end.

Glad to see they are doubling down on staying in DC. I have always liked the DC move. It's the nation's capital and there is a ton going on there these days. Makes sense to be in the middle of the madness.

I don't mind the stars. #ScanimateForever. 

[qunewsguy 378]

Now I'm wondering if any of the O&O's will launch the new look today to coincide with this.

Feels a little dark though.

I agree. Most don’t seem to like the move to DC but I’m on board with it.

I like everything about these changes; when do we get a new anchor to go with all of this?

[maddog363 22]

All socials and website have been updated accordingly.

Best comment of the thread. Well done. @RCA TK47

I’m… surprised…. This looks amazing, love brining back an old theme, the L3’s are unique, and the open stands out. It’s nice to see CBS actually try, when they inevitably fire Norah this look will transition well. The CBS News streaming elements look great.

Yeah I agree. I'm impressed. I really like this! I thought they'd go the CBS Mornings route in terms of the L3s, but happy to be proven wrong on that.

It’s definitely a much needed improvement. But it looks like a package that may have been good about five years ago. And some of the templates are a little sloppy. 

[KnoxvilleTVFan 286]

Wow! I think CBS has created some of the best network news graphics they have ever done. As for the music, it brings back the classic 1987 CBS Evening News theme signature with new orchestrations.
