I actually like that re-fresh. Its clean and simple. Sometimes these flat-graphics packages are boring. This open is quite simple. Just a series of rectangles and photography. I do like the reworked CBS Enforcer. The bells timed perfectly to hit with each "ding" of the music. Brilliant. Smart move retaining the Brian Lee voiceover. Overall a clean and simple look. Very different mic flag aswell, a W with a red line underneath on a white background.

WBBM Chicago, June 5th, 1978 and the complete newscast.

Ah, WBBM at the top of its game -- too bad it all came crashing down after a series of management blunders in the '80s and an ill-fated tabloid format in the '90s.
