Correct. Good eye. Bill Feigenbaum did all the NFL Today and other CBS Sports animations during this period. Feigenbaum Productions was the only house doing this high end work on the east coast at this time. Cranston/Csuri out of Ohio was doing a lot during this period, too. I'll be posting more of Bill Feigenbaum's work from his broadcast tapes when time permits. -Jay
Always impressed me a group out of Columbus, Ohio was doing stuff for the biggies back in those days, yet I hardly saw any station in town that tried getting any good CGI for their IDs/News/etc. at all (Toledo).
This music was used as promo music for WCBS during the original Marx's theme's usage. The logo DOES seem to fit the logo style used on the WCBS set at the time, though...
I personally have no idea if this actually aired on ch 2 or not. I had assumed so, but it's from Bill Feigenbaum's 1" broadcast videotape library of his work. Someone told me this only aired as a promo on ch. 2. Perhaps some native New Yorkers may know for sure. -Jay
Love the city skyline that comes through the CBS eye. Hard to see the twin towers though...

I'm also wondering if this same animation technique was used for the "Channel 2 Newswatch" segments from 1982 to 1985.

It looks like the same guy who did the NFL Today and other CBS Sports anmation graphics during the early 80s.

That would have been Cranston/Csuri in Ohio. They did a lot of pioneering work on the school's Cray "supercomputer".

Are you sure the theme was an actual cut from News In Focus?
ScottBoy295 5 years ago
Never aired on 2. I think it was for promos only. Prolly came out around late 1983.

The theme music for WCBS-TV's "Channel 2 News" was "News in Focus" by the one and only John Hegner.
