Hexagonal10 84 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Please just stop. You're not fooling anyone. Did a little Google image searching with the amazing right click button, He's totally Steve Capus. https://www.cbspressexpress.com/cbs-news/executives
news89 468 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Please just stop. You're not fooling anyone. I don't see there's only one jz changing anything soon.
C Block 1573 Posted April 23, 2016 Author Posted April 23, 2016 Did a little Google image searching with the amazing right click button, He's totally Steve Capus. https://www.cbspressexpress.com/cbs-news/executives I knew it was fake, but I didn't pick up on that. That's awesome.
AlNYTVRadio 21 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 5pm Tease and Cold Open for WCBS-TV (since they dropped an intro at 5pm for about a year now). I am not a really big fan of this change. Although it has been time since 2013, I feel like this "update" was a step back. I felt the previous graphics worked really well. This new package lies between 2010 and 2013.

These graphics are more of the updated version of the CBS O&O from 2010 where the intro was the eye and looped from one location to another location in that city.

groupwfan 97 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 You can share it with me, we like feedback even though we don't get it much. WNCN should have their channel # out in the open again "CBS17"...
Rusty Muck 4426 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 That the WJZ will dump Chroma Cues and switch to O&O look. Leave Chroma Cues, the anklepants "13" font and Eyewitness News brand alone. Update the graphics and set is ok with me. One note: the propriety Group W font was never titled "Anklepants." I'm only bringing this up because a good friend of mine takes it almost as an insult. There is a fairly good adaptation of the Group W font as freeware, and it's worth the download.
Weeters 1973 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Hahah I can't believe people do that on websites. Seems like someone doth protest too much. Troll neutralized. Please continue.
kruejac 9 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 I wonder if WGCL, WDJT or WFSB will get these graphics as well...
ABC 7 Denver 1734 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Also KCNC isn't getting it until tomorrow but still we aren't mandated to use it yet. They are also talking about WJZ switching to this O&O or the previous one before this which is the one centered around the eye. I wonder if WGCL, WDJT or WFSB will get these graphics as well... I doubt it. It's a bit too soon.
Rusty Muck 4426 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 The open is ehh. The L3s are alright. The logo bug is pretty good. But why would WCBS get the KCBS 2? Is that a corporate mandate? There is NO so-called "CBS Mandate" of forced branding conventions among the O&Os. There just... isn't.
AlNYTVRadio 21 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Here are some elements of the new graphics. Many parts I've noticed are very similar to the 2013 package. Some, including the weather graphics I actually like in this package more than last. The open is what really bothers me at this point. (They used a recut midday Metropolis Enforcer NG4 cut for the 6am open)
jbnews 346 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 I liked the cut of music WCBS used for the 5pm open last night. Is that ng5?
Daybreak 292 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 To me this feel like more of a refresh than a completely new package. Its not bad though.
PAnderson1 27 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 6pm open for WCBS. Can you record tonight's 11pm open? I saw it last night and in my opinion, it was really good. I can't live stream the weekend newscasts because they still don't do weekend streaming.

SterlingNorth 33 Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 There is a fairly good adaptation of the Group W font as freeware, and it's worth the download. This is legitimately cool.
TheRolyPoly 2635 Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 And Cindy Hsu is still away... I hope she returns. The station needs her.
rkolsen 1694 Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 I like the new opens but the new "skin*" of the lower thirds look like shit. I wasn't too keen on the older version but this just seems like a downgrade. *I'm not sure what the technical term is but since the geometry is the same but the background/animations differ somewhat I'm calling it a skin like how you could change it on Windows.
tjt24 315 Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 To me this feel like more of a refresh than a completely new package. Its not bad though. That's what I see when I look at this package. Looks more like a refresh than a completely new package.
tjt24 315 Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 There is NO so-called "CBS Mandate" of forced branding conventions among the O&Os. There just... isn't. Oh my mistake. I thought I saw something about that somewhere.
Rusty Muck 4426 Posted April 24, 2016 Posted April 24, 2016 Oh my mistake. I thought I saw something about that somewhere. I'm referring to the groupthink among lazy Wikipedia editors. CBS has fairly strict branding conventions among their O&Os*, but it's not actually called a "mandate." *We know what station to exclude from this discussion, and even that station uses the CBS Eye on their logo.
