KDKA increased the size of the font on the ticker & time/temp so it would be easier to read. I also noticed that WCCO also has gotten the KOVR style ticker too. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17216-new-cbs-oo-look-coming-soon/page/48/#findComment-288315 Share on other sites More sharing options...

speed053 37 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I'm watching WBBM's 11:00am newscast and the station started using the updated ticker that looks similar to KPIX and KOVR.

RGSJenkins 434 Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 KCNC has the new ticker. To me, it looks off since they don't use a channel number box like the other stations. 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17216-new-cbs-oo-look-coming-soon/page/48/#findComment-288964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
compubit 673 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I’m not sure if they’ve fixed it, but in the opens, the blue “CBS News Colorado” covered up the station ID when the package was first released, making it look like the station was “NC-TV Denver”… Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17216-new-cbs-oo-look-coming-soon/page/48/#findComment-289018 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodfreyGR 650 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 WCCO unveiled their Minnesota State Fair plans and they still won't give CBS News Minnesota hardly any mention. It's all WCCO and "Next Weather" this year. Also... PlinCCO... Not as clever as when viewers could dunk the anchors, but not bad. https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/state-fair/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17216-new-cbs-oo-look-coming-soon/page/48/#findComment-289063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottSchell 352 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 KTVT CBS News Texas is apparently rebranding once again and dropping News from the name. They are also dropping the 6pm newscast and adding a 7pm newscast on KXTA all starting September 11th. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2023/8/27/cbs-oampo-ditches-6pm-newscast 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17216-new-cbs-oo-look-coming-soon/page/48/#findComment-289520 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many stations in central and mountain either have to split the times across the day, or only select one show while another station gets the other. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17216-new-cbs-oo-look-coming-soon/page/48/#findComment-289524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 3293 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) For their new 9pm newscast on WBFS, WFOR ditched the channel number/calls box in the bug, just like KCNC.

K77 10 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Are there any actual CBS O&O folks here? Word around is the new image (graphics/music) has been a flop. Negative viewer reaction (especially with the music) in just the few months in use. WBBM's President/GM had been very vocal about her concerns about the whole package prior to rollout which are turning out to be true. WBBM has been continuing to use one music cut from the Enforcer package for the opens of the 5, 6, and 10 PM weekday opens since their changeover. I've noticed they've been phasing in more Enforcer cuts here and there, and again for the 10PM bumps. I have a feeling the graphics may stay but the new music may get dumped in the close future. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17216-new-cbs-oo-look-coming-soon/page/48/#findComment-291388 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey 856 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I don't have any insider info to share, but I have found some parts of the package to be inspired and clean, while others are just bland and clunky. Curious if the complaints mentioned here refer to the graphics or the silly branding decisions (whether they went all-in on losing the numbers or decided to go with two identities in a single logo). The music is OK, and I like unifying it with the network's "This is CBS" signature, but WCBS barely even uses it -- most opens and many bumpers use the awful "somber church bell" production music.

Music I can somewhat understand but the graphics, seriously? I much prefer these to that tired 8 year old package! 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17216-new-cbs-oo-look-coming-soon/page/48/#findComment-291394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
