nathannah 2444 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 That is some impressive (and subtle) creative right there, I love the use of the colors to easily suggest it's NBC without having to say it. Although I'm sure there are fun outtakes of that peacock not cooperating a bit.

elfuego35 90 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 WNCN may end up switching to an Enforcer package due to its NBC Theme. WNCN uses the standardized Media General music package.

hathawaynson2 39 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 WNCN uses the standardized Media General music package. Nope, WNCN is using Canvas by Stephen Arnold.

TriangleTriadMediaNews 267 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Assuming WILM is still directly simulcasting WRAL (outside of pre-taped local WX inserts), I wonder how NBC will like a CBS affiliate airing taped pieces from their network news?

NEOMatrix 1299 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I wonder if WNCN will put a CBS eye in the logo so that 80-year-old ladies don't call up 17 to see why the Today Show is on WRAL.

DirtyHarry 727 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 WRAL has figured out how to promote their impending nuptials with the Peacock network by employing, well, a live peacock. And then he crapped all over the desks.

atlnews2 591 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I stumbled upon this on WNCN's website. http://wncn.com/2016/01/27/wncn-announces-cbs-lineup-adds-local-news/ It gives us a glimpse at the new graphics and tells us the new name. WNCN will now be known as CBS North Carolina and the news with be called North Carolina News As of now CBSNorthCarolina.com redirects to WNCN.com; I suspect that will change soon.

Nelson R. 569 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Also they have made changes to their originally planned schedule. Judge Judy will be at 9:30 and Judge Mabelan at 12:30 and 1. Why not a double run of Judge Judy at 12:30, a much better lead out to the news if they are not going to air Young and the Restless at 12:30 or an hour of noon news?

tyrannical bastard 3955 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 The name wouldn't have been my first choice. I know Raleigh is the state capital and all, but it's too broad of a name for a CBS affiliate in the Triangle as opposed to the entire state. The look has a little of a CBS O&O vibe to it meshed with the recently launched graphic package at WSPA....even tying in the new CBS Sports graphics too...

Most likely because the graphics are designed by former Giant Octopus employees.* *According to rumors.
