rkolsen 1679 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 As I said WJZ is kitsch but it's Baltimore (for some reason I think of John Waters with 'JZ and very competitive. I think WBAL was ahead of them most recently but WJZ doesn't really have to worry about WBFF and WMAR any time soon. I think I mentioned this before but it would be nicer if they re-recorded Chroma Cues or revert back to the original theme. I can't see them updating their set and going modern like 2, 11 and 45 did however I think they could get a new one that still has that homey feel to it. There are some elements of change to the O&O look such as using just the CBS Eye 13 logo in their news ticker during CBS This Morning, some title elements used as bumpers/promos before commercial breaks, and using the CBS Eye 13 logo in some of their full screen graphic headers.

bammy9 26 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 For NBC....I think WRC has that "wild card" quality to it. Do they still play "My Mood" on Friday Nights? Yes, yes they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Not to mention they essentially re-painted their news set for the launch of HD newscasts (along with the short-lived Look E graphics). Hopefully, when they move back to Bala Cynwyd (sorry, wrong city) Kearny Mesa, that will change. For a long time KNSD was not really considered a real "O&O" while operating under stations ventures/ New World. They are lucky they are getting new digs. Plenty of room for storage at the new place since the entire staff at KNSD can fit inside a closet now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius22 120 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 im surprised KRON isnt in this thread as they never gave up their KRON instant classics. KRON's famous theme thats been used since 1998. but since that theme is what makes them famous for who they are they aren't going to change it at all anyway because its too awesome to give up.

Actually, they stopped using it in 2002 in favor of Stephen Arnold's Overture (that's currently being used in Milwaukee by WDJT), but in 2006 there was something called a "SESAC Attack" that I'm still not sure of the details about, but it forced KRON to revert to the Instant Classics, (Boy, is that name redundant.)
