Ryan 24 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I've noticed for the past week or so when the KDKA News Opens play they no longer do the transition effect they just do a dissolve... Could this be something new they're doing or in the works? I haven't paid attention to any of the other CBS O&O's. If I can, I'll post an example.

24994J 5586 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Examples would be nice to see, since little hints have been seen here and there, but haven't let to anything, yet. We've had an on and off discussion going here. I'm linking to the most recent post...

Roadrunner 216 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Yeah I agree, I don't think this is really an indicator of a change to come. I still think the new CBS Weekend News open is a stronger indicator. (Or maybe it's that I want it to be.) Off-topic, but I like Enforcer as a theme by itself. But I also think it's long in the tooth in all of the current opens. BUT I also hate the new cut that's currently used by KCNC. I'm basically more than excited to see what CBS will do next and hope they just make sensible changes.

TexasTVNews 1377 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Why can't they just call it "KDKA CBS 2 News" or at least bring back the "Eyewitness News" name.

He's not exactly playing with the edit creatively. Playing a cut straight through is a bad idea.

I know for the breaking news open they use these opens... I thought ok... They messed up... Or the director was on vacation and the guy filling in forgot to put the transition. Sloppy,..

SFTV 528 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 KPIX is using new title card graphics for its sports with the roll out of the CBS network graphics. Not sure if it’s a tool kit or in-house but it’a good updated look. however the new KPIX logo on the sports graphic and on the monitors during the newscasts doesn’t have the gold 5 anymore besides the bug on the corner Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18177-kdka-tv-getting-ready-for-new-graphics/#findComment-257715 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noooo every tv station doesn't need to be name CBS 2 NEWS that too generic. Eyewitness News is fine and KDKA TV News is ok, however no CBS 2. A Television Station/Network shouldn't be lax on creativity.

It's not creativity then. Creativity is novel in its exploration. Generic creativity is an oxymoron.
