C Block 1423 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Not to encourage people to take this and run a mile with it, but I did find this KCNC topical rather interesting. The graphics in this certainly match the wider CBS rebrand pretty well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSSZNews 1032 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I can't wait for this thread to go years and years like the ABC O&O speculation. 4 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillynewslover 123 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Those L3's remind me of the WPHL graphics, which I absolutely hate. The rest isn't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth Kissel 279 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) I would love to see KCNC's new graphic in the Black and Yellow KDKA-TV look. Edited November 19, 2021 by Kenneth Kissel 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noggi 480 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 It’s worth noting each CBS O&O has a design team and an art director and can pretty much do whatever they want with station looks (within reason) and KCNC has been copying graphics from network for years. That said, a group wide change is not going to originate from Denver so just calm yourselves. Also - if you’re interested in applying - both WBBM and WCCO have art director positions open right now… 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inconsistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFTV 435 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I was thinking it was a toolkit because KPIX uses the same Network Eye graphic where it breaks apart and switches from KPIX 5 in white (without the gold 5) to CBSN Bay Area on its monitors in studio.

qunewsguy 342 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) Yeah that's definitely not a group look. CBS has adopted TT Norms as the groupwide font and it would most certainly appear in any O&O package since the font family is being provided for free to all CBS affiliates. Here's another recent spot from KCNC.... Edited November 19, 2021 by qunewsguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Block 1423 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Again, I'm not shouting "here's the new O&O graphics package confirmed!" – I just thought this topical was interesting and worth pointing out! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsteam13 332 Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Looks like the KCNC Denver version of the CBS branding mnemonic, which is seen on many CBS promos (entertainment, news and sports). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth Kissel 279 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) I saw this graphic from WBBM about the Waukesha tragedy and immediately thought of the current KDKA-TV black and gold look.This could be a great update for KDKA if they go through with it. I would suggest to change the CBS logo on the left to a CW logo for WPCW newscasts though.

If you watch CBS Mornings I do believe the eye is gold the L3s for the anchor/reporters name is white with black font or vice versa. I was telling a good friend that this might happen.

Amra 120 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 WBBM has been using those L3s for a while, even before KDKA. At least since December 2019. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFTV 435 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froyo49 222 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 It’s actually CBS Local from Stephen Arnold Music.

I'm so lucky I have access to the real channels so I don't ever have to worry about this problem. This is CBSN Pittsburgh next to the Broadcast feed of KDKA-TV.

WDJT and other affiliates may now be convinced to pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope someone can do a resync of KDKA using CBS Local. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
