WJZ Drops Eyewitness News, Slowly Rebrands, New Logo Roll Out and New Set

[TheFizzle21 39]

Had to leave for work, but didn't see a peep from the morning team in the 5am show. I guess the old set is going out without a blink because it looks like they won't acknowledge it in the newscasts aside from standalone promos. @rkolsen, will you share footage of the noon debut on YouTube?

But it will be later in the day.

I wanted to see how much Helvetica can be stretched in Photoshop...

They BETTER get rid of that font!

On September 20 they’ll extend their morning newscast to 4:30.

Eh, it only took them an extra eighteen years to enter the 21st century.

Only 7 years after WMAR launched the first 4:30 newscast, 3 years after WBAL, and 1.5 years after WBFF.

What took so long?

[Rusty Muck 4405]

What took so long?

To be fair, none of the stations in Baltimore are live at 4:00AM (WBFF reruns their 11PM newscast, but that’s about it).

Guys the anticipation is killing me!!! 39 minutes until show time... What are we all thinking the set graphics music will look and be like? None of this uncopywritten stuff? We're going for CBS O&O music maybe with the 3 notes of chroma cues? I can deal with that like KYW has in their morning theme. But I'm trying to think how it would sound with the o&o theme?

I don’t think the other CBS O&O sets have a green room.

KCBS, WCBS, WBBM, and WJZ have a green room.

KCBS does, and for a studio as big as theirs, why wouldn't they?

Nice send-off from Marty.
