MidwestTV 1173 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Surely they can do more with those walls than just leave them be a solid blue. It's drab and overpowering otherwise. That desk also reminds me of CBS This Morning's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skbl17 188 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Do we have a debut day yet? To my knowledge, no. The weather set premiered a couple of days ago, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLNEWS46 6 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Do we have a debut day yet? about 2-3 weeks from now. 1st week in march if not earlier. On February 14th, 2014, WGCL put their new set on the air in the background during a weather segment that included their new logo that included the term CBS 46. General manager Trey Fabacher said "We will be launching in the next 2-3 weeks." on February 12th, 2014. http://atlantaslocaltv.weebly.com/1/post/2014/02/wcgl-to-become-cbs46-for-the-second-time.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abric 157 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 So after becoming WGCL, it has been: CBS Atlanta News (1999–2000) Clear News (2000–2002) CBS Atlanta News (2002–2003) CBS 46 News (2003–2009) CBS Atlanta News (2009–2014) CBS 46 News (2014-present) You would think they would stick to just one branding.

skbl17 188 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 CBS 46 again?! The culture of change at WGCL is truly mind-boggling. I expect another branding change in 2019 or 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 why not CBS 46 Atlanta or something like that? Hell. Just combine the two by this point. If all else fails, just go to "action news." We had an NBC Action News and still have an ABC Action news, why not get a CBS Action News while we're in there? Even better yet, why not WGCL News? That's the one thing they haven't tried yet. It's the simplest news station branding in the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one thing they haven't tried yet. It's the simplest news station branding in the book. WSB would throw a fit if another station in Atlanta took their beloved "Action News" name. At this point, I don't really care what WGCL calls themselves; whether it is WGCL News, CBS 46 News, CBS News Atlanta, or CBS Atlanta News. They could go back to "Clear News" for all I care. What they need to do is to find one identity and stick with it; no more of this endless five-year change they seem to be dealing with. It's a big part of the reason why WGCL always finds itself in the ratings basement: there is no sense of continuity at that station. The revolving door of anchors and reporters, the frequent name changes, programming changes....it's absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine how odd it must be for some of those people to constantly refer to themselves by a new name. "Thank you for watching Clear New...CBS fourt...CBS Atlanta at 6pm everybody." Watching the on-air staff at KSHB get used to saying "41 Action News," rather than "NBC Action News," or even rarer, "(NBC) 41 News" (from the 90s, early 00s) seemed to take long enough itself.

TennTV1983 742 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Looks like CBS Atlanta (soon to be CBS 46) will get the current look the CBS O&Os have Figures, considering WSMV uses the current NBC O&O look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha 2876 Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Figures, considering WSMV uses the current NBC O&O look. KPHO's really due for new graphics but I imagine they are waiting to get KTVK and consolidate. There's no way they can use a CBS package if they are going to do a combined operation.

LiveLocalLateBreaking 5 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Here are a few more pictures that I've found. I'm really excited to see the set from the pictures it looks like it's gonna be a pretty nice one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NewsHound Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Why do I have a feeling CBS O&O graphics and a return to CBS 46 is underway? TOTALLY called it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveLocalLateBreaking 5 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Found another picture! Would guess the left is the home base and the right is the weather center. Is it me or does the WX center and the anchor desk look unusually close? Debut is one week from today according to a reporters Facebook.

skbl17 188 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 TOTALLY called it!! Beat you to the punch on the graphics (but not the name; I'll give you that one). Pay close attention to the tiny text: Who knows, maybe they'll get the new O&O graphics to go along with the set! Just kidding... ...or am I? Between this and Google Fiber, this is good news! Of course, it's WGCL, so I will be watching to see if they made any structural changes, as those matter more than cosmetic changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best they could come up with are bright blue duratrans with the CBS eye on it with stale, cold metallic desks? It's really starting to remind me of 11Alive.

Action Newsroom 1149 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 That logo looks much better if the year was 1997. But looks slightly better than the CBS Atlanta logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
