That’s CBS News 24/7 Prime/Time to you - Not to be confused with the former John Dickerson show without a slash 
The opener - the lettering on that bug is huge!
Some different style bumpers:
Headline recaps in later blocks:
Throwing over to CBS Sports HQ for sports coverage (and a free ad for THEIR streamer):
And a truly bizzare one - a ‘TikTok Tube’ for short-form explainers. Being on a waving tube man is probably more dignified than on this tube…
Also relaunching is their political panel show: Two years and one presidential election cycle later, America Decides (fmr. Red & Blue) is now The Takeout, based on the synonymous podcast hosted by their chief DC correspondent.
Specifically, it broadcasts from the former Evening News studio, with a branding that’s probably more suited after dark than at 5pm Western?
Apparently, the studio is now divided into 2 parts: a ‘family table’ and a ‘conversation corner’ for one-on-one interviews:

WHY IS SHE YELLING?
I get it’s a big (digital) space but it’s a bit much.

Pretty unexpected news coming from Atlanta: Gray is not extending their affiliation agreement with CBS on WANF (Atlanta News First). Come August, the affiliation will move to WUPA, making it a CBS O&O.
The former, like WPLG, is set to expand their local news offering. A CBS News Atlanta streaming channel will be set up, with WUPA’s FTA channel available on P+ - essentially building a newsroom ground up like WWJ.
All the more confusing as to why they got rid of the old newsroom in the first place…
Evening News seems to be tinkering with their supers… smaller story headings appeared in packages during this past week, while still keeping it relatively low profile. A short lead story tease now opens the bulletin.
Weekend News got their own supers update last Sunday, finally getting in line with their weekday counterpart during the cold open. The ‘still ahead’ tease, correspondents and closer are still using the ugly blue boxes, though, plus no in-story headings.
The box at the opening is also different - now the same one used in the Norah era Evening News.
Their ‘Today in History’ segment uses the same box - albeit not that consistent with the all-caps caption instead of sentence case.
Pretty unobtrusive, if not a bit pointless. Wonder how they’ll adapt it for actual breaking news?
Update: Since two weeks ago, it opens without a box and animates like Evening News (but with much larger lettering). This edition is also in the EN studio, rather than the usual one shared with 24/7.
Correspondents now also have similar supers, moved slightly to fit the watermark:
No box in the closer, but still up in the teases before this past weekend. Both it and the history segment
wre finally done without it, albeit with the latter covering the watermark.

Paramount has agreed to pay President Trump $16 million to settle his lawsuit over the editing of an interview on the CBS News program “60 Minutes,” the company said late Tuesday, an extraordinary concession to a sitting president by a major media organization.
Disgusting move by Paramount.

It’s ridiculous they have to do that, and ridiculous trump would sue. It’s really insane that that’s how it is in America.
But also - I do think cbs manipulated her answer with the editing. I remember thinking that at the time
