This is the full closing theme used at Noon and the 3pm show, but they use a minus one version for its bumpers on the A Block (12:10pm) at Noon and B block (3:22pm) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daybreak 269 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 CBS Local and The Enforcer sounds similar that many will not notice the change. Why is that when Stephen composed CBS Local and the Enforcer was composed by GARI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that when Stephen composed CBS Local and the Enforcer was composed by GARI? Both packages are based on the same folk song "This is My City, Chicago's My Town" which gave rise to the 1975 theme by Dick Marx, and other news packages by different composers, especially Frank Gari and Stephen Arnold. "Enforcer" debuted in 1994 on WBBM-TV, "CBS Local" debuted in 2013 on Nexstar-owned CBS affiliate KGPE in Fresno. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBS Local from Stephen Arnold needs to be the package the CBS O&Os need to start using immediately. Retire the Enforcer music from 1994 and give some life to (in many cases) third place stations in major cities. ABC/Disney has the edge in many markets where CBS and ABC both own a station. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the decades of mismanagement, budget cuts, and subsequent poor ratings. Really, most here need to get a grip. I don't want to say that CBS Local is a downgrade from modern Enforcer (though I think it is), but it DEFINITELY wouldn't be some magical problem-solver, either. More than just about any cosmetic adjustment we've ever discussed here, such a theme change across the board might be the most unnoticeable of all time, to the average viewer. Hell, I have no problem saying that neither Gari nor Stephen Arnold have produced the best adaptations of the WBBM signature. They just happened to be the powerhouse music companies of their eras, therefore most accessible for the average client.

Enforcer has seen several iterations of updates. Stations can use anything they want, composed from 1994 to 2020. However, stations typically use a mix of themes which can make the branding sound inconsistent. CBS Local was composed on the cheap. Stations are becoming less willing to pay for high quality music. So you get a lot of rushed, almost ubiquitous sounding packages that don't set the station apart from any other in the market. ABC has the edge because they invest more in station resources.

TexasTVNews 1365 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) CBS O&O graphics looks good.

They're probably just saying that these new graphics would be perfect for those stations. Unfortunately, all three stations have chain graphics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qunewsguy 376 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Looks like a mix of the network graphics and the "NFL on CBS" elements. Are we sure the screengrab isn't part of a spot designed specifically to run in the NFL playoffs? I'm not sure why there are yard line markers on a weather graphic otherwise.

Tyler 150 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I highly doubt a new O&O look is launching soon. If one were launching, I think they would have held off on the First Alert Weather gimmick and launched it at the same time as the new look.

Geoffrey 777 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I am not hopeful. The previous CBS O&O look was uninspired and felt dated from the very beginning. Then the sloppy combination with the CBSN Local look. I do like the CBS network look that's being replicated across CBS Sports, CBS Mornings, etc. But I'm not hopeful that this will be done well. We shall see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 CBS O&Os will get a new look at the same time Disney/ABC adopts a standardized package for their entire group of O&Os. ... When hell freezes over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanman 58 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Looks like WBZ has already adopted the new "CBS News Boston" branding on their CBSN stream. The logo bug and "we'll be right back" graphics have changed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
