CBS still cannot shake this inauthentic corporate looking format that they have on their local stations. Other than anchor personality, background music choices, graphics and how they write when they report all contribute to the "spice" of a station. Tegna has this issue to. KTLA is a good example of a station that has cookie cutter corporate elements but still manages to have its own individualistic spark. Fox O&Os are also somewhat good at this too. I like WWJ’s news opening. They aren’t flashy and it’s reflective on the serious tone CBS is going for. I think KCAL/KCBS is way too flashy. KPIX is too. 1 hour ago, nycnewsjunkie said: They’ve been doing this for several months now; the promo is the only thing that’s new. I think WCBS is getting the new graphics very soon.

Well, CBS designed the entire intro, which has portions that all three stations are using. And it's up to the stations to pick cuts from the long version to shorten it down. Seek to 0:45 for the full intro. https://youtu.be/xPGBEiM49lQ Edited March 8, 2023 by NewEgg00 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compubit 670 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 It sounds like KTVT is now CBS News Texas - but they've kept the CBS11 logo "in the box"... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had just the 11 in the box, that would be a pretty good interim news logo, IMO. The two eyes are overkill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizon 235 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) CBS News Miami is next. They've just launched their new graphics package at noon Wednesday. As for the logo, as you can tell, they kept the channel number as part of the rebrand maybe because the logo is iconic. Oh wait, what's this? They got rid of the wave from the previous logo. Maybe because they wanted to keep it as minimalistic as possible? Well, it seems like that was on purpose. Or if it was by accident, they can always add it later.

By early next month the latest. They might be trying to hold onto that KDKA-TV News name but I think I they know they’ve already lost that battle.

Horizon 235 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) The newscast intro for CBS News Miami captured at 4pm on their streaming channel. This is the first station to use the full CBS intro, and not just shorten it. CBSNM.mp4 For the 5pm Newscast, which airs both streaming and linear, they used a very short intro after the headlines teaser.

TexasTVNews 1368 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 As much as I dislike the branding, IMO WFOR should've been called CBS South Florida/CBS News South Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techteacher50 27 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I am hoping that WJZ doesn’t mess this up. They have deviated from most packages with their own music, which I do not like in the least. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s kind of tricky with the last O&O desk design since the Channel Number is designed into the desk. -KCBS killed off their desk for the new KCAL set -KPIX is the only one that executed well by changing the number into call letters and the monitor on the desk says CBS News Bay Area. -WFOR kept the number branding and even removed the wave on the desk. But to me it looks tacky to have both 4’s stamped on the desk. Not sure if they have a monitor or if it’s a duratrans. we’ll see now the others in the group with the O&O desk will turn out (KOVR, WBBM, WCBS, & WJZ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosiahCubed 252 Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I just saw a promo for “Talk Pittsburgh”, which premieres tomorrow at 3pm, and it shows the new KDKA callsign logo, which looks exactly like the one for KPIX. So, KDKA might be switching over to the new news branding tomorrow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleWXYZ 174 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I think KDKA is trying to keep the KDKA News branding as long as they can. But, even thru know they are going to lose this fight, just like the early 2000s when they had to use the O&O style logo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
