Oh yes! That's why News in Focus was so awesome on 3 - because they used so many cuts. All of the main themes were used in some way or another. The morning stuff was the best, though - I love that arrangement.
I listen to the droning noise that now passes for CBS 3's news music and I really wish there was some way they could go back to something like this.
I think its safe to say that KYW-3 was the only ex Group W station that has successfully went to the CBS Mandate. KPIX and WJZ hasn't been so obvious, and KDKA bordering on CBS 2 has had a backlash. WBZ on the other hand (leave it to the end) really acts a lot like an affiliate under a dated brandname. I don't think for many years, 'BZ really wanted viewers to know they were a net O&O. I really wished they did use some CBS-based sig -but I think that won't ever happen...
Though, it's CBS 3 - I don't really see their calls mentioned anymore. The old school O&Os, even though were branded w/out the calls, still had legible font size to see the calls...
... Did KYW also use the KCBS "hard news" theme of NIF? I thought they also used WCBS, but my memory is a little blank to say the least! ;-)
why does the announcer rush like its a fire fight?

I wasn't aware that KYW used the morning cuts of News in Focus, including the opens.
