    Ok, I've now seen the desk since both anchors are back at the desk... It's a major downgrade. I didn't get a pic, but it's just a plain desk with a huge grey panel in the front. No logo, no monitors, no nothing!

    You can see the desk with a wire sticking out in front. Looks like it’s prewired for a curved monitor display like they have for the weather center desk. But yes such a sad downgrade. Looks like they spent more money on replacing the 3x3 monitor and not enough for a better desk.

    Who made these graphics that KABC/WTVD had from 2000-2006. WTVD was 2000-2004. I liked them the look so ABC back then and matched the network look.

    That was my favorite graphics package too. KGO had something similar by (I believe Hothaus) but instead of yellow, it was a white themed elements. KFMB used the same KGO package as well but only for its opening sequence (2005-2013)

  4. Well this will be interesting. Nexstar is in my market. KRON could take the CW affiliation from KBCW.

     

    KTVU Plus could take the MyNetwork affiliation with KTVU’s duopoly. 

     

    KBCW could be the new KCAL for the Bay Area with its duopoly with KPIX.

  5. Sad news to report, a well known news anchor in my area was arrested on suspicion of DUI last night. The video of the anchor ramming the other car and getting arrested was overwhelming to watch. 
     

    im not going to post it. You can put the puzzle pieces together and will most likely hear about it this weekend.

    Seeing as how Fox mortally wounded themselves in Charlotte swiping away the affiliation from WCCB and slapping together a newscast on the cheap would propel them to the top...the station has been a tortured mess ever since, even with Nexstar coming in to try and make something out of them, but seriously overthinking it in the process.

    If anything, it's a distraction.  Give it a year or two and "FOX 46" may be back sooner than we know it.  

    Just like the failed marketing CBS LA did with “NewsCentral. News that’s Central to your Life.” 🙄😅

    It’s actually CBS Local from Stephen Arnold Music. I remember someone on this thread noticed that they were using the CBS Local election theme during their automated election results video stream last year. 
    I recorded a brief clip from CBSN Bay Area:

     

     

    Oh wow Gari is being phased out 😅

     

    just listened to the sampler of CBS Local on NMSA.  All this time the morning promo music was CBS Local. Interesting.

  8. Didn’t want to make a new thread under News Music. Wasn’t sure if this is part of a new update with graphics soon…..

     

    KPIX now decommissioned the CBS Enforcer Metropolis Package in favor for either a 2021 Version 2 Update or a new CBS Enforcer Version 3 theme. (It’s not the version 3 theme that was uploaded on YouTube a while back and deleted)

     

    Metropolis is only used for its 4:30-6am opens only.
     

    Millenial Beat, Modern Classic, Epic Energy from Version 2 is also decommissioned for its bumpers and closing music
     

    The Noon, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 11pm Opens are now rolled out with the new updated Enforcer theme along with new bumpers and closing music.

     

    The new theme is more slower and dramatic. However there is one track on its bumpers which I do like because it’s upbeat and catchy.

    It's all about the political ad money- and its not just CBS that's guilty of it... FOX has dumped more newscasts on the MyNet stations they have the duopoly on, Gray does it where and when it makes even a little sense, the list goes on...

     

    Oddly, kind of fitting for a CW station. Especially the Seven-Day. Would be easier if they'd just use the current CBS O&O package though.

    Right? Even the old weather icons….Also the CW11 Mini Sports Cast produced by KPIX uses the old recycled graphics from Bay Area Nightbeat which was cancelled for CBSN Bay Area News at 10 which also didn’t last long and got replaced by a whole hour of Two and a Half Men.

  10. If CBS is investing on launching WWJ….Throwing this out into the ring, they might as well invest in starting newscasts in the CW O&O group. I believe there’s only 3 in the group.
     

    - WUPA in Atlanta has a newscast produced by KTVT in Dallas.

     

    - KBCW only simulcasts KPIX 5’s 6am show, nothing at night.

     

    KSTW Seattle only does weather and sports casts produced by KPIX on social media (FB & Twitter,) not sure over the air.
     

    Interesting fact, the weather graphics/templates for CW11 that KPIX generates for them is from the First CBS O&O Graphics Package from 2010-2013

  11. Roberta Gonzales announced on her Instagram that she is returning to the airwaves and joining KTVU as a part time meteorologist. It’s been 4 years after she left KPIX to focus on starting her own production company.
