This is the 2nd major studio remodel CBS2 has done, and I have to say that I haven't liked either one. This one seems cold and unwelcoming to me, I don't know what kind of look they were going for..
@nebraskahuskers1 New desk (in the same place), put panels over the section of windows behind the desk... A few other changes now that Monsters and Money is over with.
@next The Arial font was something that the WCBS graphics people stuck on the package. WBBM curently uses a mix of Arial and Helvetica. WBBM uses Helvetica on the weather graphics and many of the full screen graphics. Any WBBM in-house modifications of the new O&O graphics or reusage of their old pre-Hothaus graphics use Helvetica. The typeface/font is something up to the individual station and the station can change it if they want to.
WBBM has actually slightly modified their 10PM open.. You can see their new modified 10PM open in this video titled "Unexpected & Confusing Turn In Blagojevich Trial" from Aug. 11, 2010. I would have just posted the link but YT doesn't allow links in comments on here.

Well, at least "Enforcer" is back.
But, honestly, CBS' decision to use Arial bugs the heck out of me. It's just so tacky. Other than that, this is a somewhat decent graphics package.
(P.S. WFOR just got its O&O graphics package today, though they kept their custom music.)
