Heard there’s a CBS News Pittsburgh logo with just the call letters “KDKA” to the left of it. Unsure how I feel about this. Yikes!!! They've had this version of the logo on their website since its relaunch, though I haven't seen it on-air yet: 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan 24 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Curious... Does anyone know what stations next to get the new graphics and music package? I wasn't sure if there was a list of who was getting them in chronological order. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewsTV 91 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 The next one should be WCCO no? That newscast of theirs at 4pm is partially on the new standard, which indicates that they already have the new graphics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleWXYZ 149 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) WCBS, WBBM, and KYW should be next. KDKA is going to be in April or May. There is heavy speculation that KDKA and KYW will indeed, rebrand their newscasts as CBS News Pittsburgh/Philadelphia.

I never really understood why the black and gold color combo generated such passion on either side of the debate, but then again, I’m the most pedantic person I know, so who am I to judge? I wasn’t a huge fan of how it looked on the outgoing package, but I could see that color combo working well with the new graphics. Just as long as they don’t do something stupid, like gold text on a black background (or vice versa). Also, the new newsroom looks fantastic. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey 701 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Newsroom looks nice, but is it never going to be seen on camera? The flash cam position looks to be in front of a monitor. What's the point of going live to the newsroom if it's just another reporter in front of a monitor? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosiahCubed 223 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I'm also thinking that maybe the Black & Gold is only going to be seen on the flash cam monitor graphics. Because aside from the past few years with the Black & Gold variant of the 2016 graphics, KDKA has followed the CBS O&O graphics mandates very closely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope CBS gives KYW some permission to keep “Eyewitness News” as a secondary brand, hopefully reporters still say it at the end of live shots. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen so far this week, the reporters are transitioning to the CBS News Philadelphia tag.

KGO should pick it up, All non-action news ABC O&Os should have the title since they own it. 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, CBS owns the trademark to "Eyewitness News". Secondly, no. Both "Action" (which is owned by Cox!) and "Eyewitness" are cliché and ancient brands that do not need to be picked up by anyone not already using them. 2 1 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KYW didn't use the EWN name from 1991 until 1998, reclaiming it two years after Group W ceased to exist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When KYW dropped EWN in '91, they were NewsDay (Morning), NewsBeat (Noon, 6pm), and The News Tonight (11pm) from 91-94 and then they were KYW News 3 from 94-98 and 3 brought back EWN in '98 and it stuck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are we drawing this conclusion? Because there's a gold ring around the transitional logo in that first picture that can be easily excised? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
