cbs2worksforyou 35 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 The standardized CBS web design has now been rolled out in Chicago. The websites for WBBM-TV Channel 2, WBBM-AM Newsradio 780, and WSCR-AM 670 The Score have been combined into one, similar to New York and Los Angeles. The new site is at http://chicago.cbslocal.com/.

lazynetjunkie 34 Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 The standardized CBS web design has now been rolled out in Chicago.

The main difference between WBBM and the other cities is the WBBM webteam still have their jobs.. They updated most of the "cbs2chicago.com"s on the newscasts to "cbschicago.com"; however, I didn't hear any actual mention of the new website or the website domain change on the 10PM newscasts other than just saying the new website "cbschicago.com" domain like any other day saying the old "cbs2chicago.com". I don't think it would matter so much though because cbs2chicago.com still takes you to their new site and most likely always will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbs2worksforyou 35 Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 Do you know if they updated the two metal or metal-looking signs above the old monitor wall? There used to be a giant CBS 2 logo and cbs2chicago.com next to it on both sides from what I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same fake conference room backdrop is still there too with the lighting changed so it looks a little weird. It's like they took some of the lights behind the duratran and just put them in front of the duratran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbs2worksforyou 35 Posted October 7, 2010 Author Share Posted October 7, 2010 I swear they put all those ugly panels up in front of the windows on the Daley Plaza side to drive me crazy. Not to mention keeping that stupid meeting room backdrop and not using that part of the set or a standard sized news desk. It looks so stupid to have in-studio guests having to stand while the anchors are seated and asking them questions. And they use weird camera angles because they don't want to show the areas of the set they aren't using. Ergh!!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything they'll set it back to that since I think the only reason they changed it to begin with is they made a relatively last-minute decision to be "The News on CBS2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
former newsboy 50 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I hate it, i hate it, i hate it, i hate it, i hate it, i hate it, i hate it, i hate it, i hate it, i hate it, i hate it, i hate it, i hate it, i hate it, i hate it, i hate it, I HATE IT! They used to have the best, most easy to navigate site of all Chicago TV stations. And i remember hearing it had the most traffic out of em all. Was that the case? Well now that the suck-level is on par with everyone else, i'm sure that'll change. Who comes up with this crap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the station's choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5276 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Still better than nbcchicago.com! That site is the biggest pile of internet b.s., so much that it makes the new CBS2 site look good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieboy247 42 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I knew it would be a matter of time before the website would make it's debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
