Roadrunner 211 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Ok this is one of those posts (not very substantive), but I feel this was slightly interesting to see -- the color and format (with the black behind the eye and the thick blue bar) look kind of like a "transition-esque" thing compared to anything else we've seen with the CBS look. Sorry if this has already been brought up/isn't new. Anyways, besides this, the overall chyrons have not changed so nothing else is implied or obvious. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noggi 480 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I think they just wanted larger boxes. The ones in this package were still 4:3 safe if I recall and most of these newscasts live in double boxes now. I can’t imagine anything from this current look, which was a pretty lame evolution of the previous look, will show up in their new package.

bostonmediaguy 110 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Any predictions on whether or not a new look debuts on Super Bowl Sunday? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Likely because they are beginning transitions to new graphics already with CBS Sports. So sometime this week they may begin rollout. Because FOX O&Os rolled out there graphics this time last year (Super Bowl). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankees4life 504 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 KOVR is using the newest version of Enforcer it seems here 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole version usually plays during the close of WCCO newscasts (I think). So I don't think this is new. As far as the new Enforcer cuts, I think KCNC is the only station to use it regularly (and I'm honestly not a fan --- it's so...dark. And oddly foreboding.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeters 1597 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 They've been using this music for a long time... It's been on the 11pm for a while. This probably has nothing to do with new graphics, and more to do with their News Director liking this particular style of music (I've heard that he wasn't a fan of Inergy at Scripps, and that's why KTNV didn't have proper news opens until he left for KOVR) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodfreyGR 406 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 WCCO's weather graphics on their website now have this logo in the corner. Question of the day- preview of a new graphics package (that has a Scripps feel), or just a logo stamp on the maps? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFTV 435 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Nothing here in CA. CBSLA, KPIX and CBS13 still using the old template screenshots of the radar on its sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 4923 Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 At this point, I wouldn't assume much about it. CBS is still dealing with an internal struggle over direction. A lot of egos butting heads, post-merger. O&O graphics are likely a bit on the back burner, at this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about time the O&Os work with someone other than Rey Rodriguez for their group design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The package they're using is 5 years old. They keep intermixing that with graphics from the 2013 package and the CBSN package. It's a branding mess. It shows your audience that you are unorganized and as it bleeds into the journalism, the audience senses that the stations aren't doing their best coverage.

Nick 77 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 This package and the opens made their debut in April 2016. The O&O look would usually get redone every three years, though since 2010 it's been more evolution than revolution. Nothing in quite a while. The weather graphics got a refresh about a year and a half ago; they reflect the CBSN local streams. They might not change a thing, not worth the trouble and the expense, but on the other hand since the stations group and CBS News have merged, they might go in an entirely different branding direction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
