They just ran a promo pitching them as “all the news in 30 minutes”. I found it interesting that they’ve shot the promo with the steady cam while for example Julia Yarbough walks towards it giving her lines out, then Martha Sugalski on the set, then weather guy sports and final shot of Julia and Martha on the desk in a very upclose shot.
Quality-wise no eyecandy in terms of graphics and it looks a bit cheap and amateurish, but overall they’ve tried to make it edgier and fast paced having on-air talent pop-up suddenly. Maybe it’s the lighting but the overall quality feels like it was shot with a store bought camera.
They also just ran an “Organize before the storm” promo and the text graphic was made with the same font WSVN uses for their main graphics
I’ll try to get some screen caps and video if I manage to catch it on the DVR
Update: here’s the video. Now that I watched it with sound I find it better than seeing it with the mute ON

CBS4′s HDTV quality
I’ve been meaning to post this for sometime now but keep forgetting. CBS4′s HDTV feed on Comcast 212 looks very … um cartoonish? Faces and just everything looks really smudged like it’s been painted over. The picture up close is clean, but objects further from the camera are not sharp where you can see details you’d expect seeing from a 1920x1080i HDTV feed. When they have a wide shot of the anchors and the meteorologist you can’t see their eyebrows or even their eyes, it’s all smudged.
I was wondering if anyone who has HDTV can confirm this. I suspect it’s happening because CBS 4 isn’t broadcasting in true 1920x1080i but instead the feed is an upconverted standart definition.
WTVJ sort of has the same problem but I don’t think theirs is as bad. I’ll post a couple of screen caps in a bit
