This looks more like a real news bulletin
It was essentially daily 60 minutes shows and not a regular news bulletin. This format under Tony feels like it’s a normal news bulletin to compete against ABC and NBC again.

Have to agree with you. This isn’t 1990’s this is 2026.
It’s a bit sawdusty

Because it is a newscast made for the 1990s era.
The only thing missing is standard-definition quality and it will fit in.
Is it because we’re dealing with the world’s biggest story at the moment? What happens when that goes away?

It could always be worse. They could have decided to target the elderly crowd even more and use an intro like this:
bit of a blooper tonight as well

It probably is one of the desks from that era. The CBS logo is in the old font too. All seems very temporary.

A scathing review of the bulletin.
Dokoupil carried out the brief. On his hurriedly moved-up debut Saturday night, before his official start date, the anchor covered the U.S. capture of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro almost exclusively through a lengthy but unchallenging interview of U.S. defense secretary Pete Hegseth, one in which the administration’s perspective was aired so thoroughly as to raise the question of when an interview becomes a press release.
He babbled confusedly, then fell silent, when a segment about Sen. Mark Kelly jumped ahead of a segment about Gov. Tim Walz in the lineup — the kind of shift an anchor is supposed to be able to handle without painfully long seconds of dead air. “First day, big problems here,” Dokoupil said with evident frustration.

This Weiss character sounds woeful. Has no clue what she is doing.
She’s an Israel sycophant and a Trump lackey. Conservative to the core so she’s going to be destructive in mainstream media.
She belongs on OANN or Newsmax.

It seems like a temporary set up.
I do like the newsroom feel. Very 90 /2000s.

Very concise and hyper way to introduce the headlines
I think it’s best they should be in the new set that they had recently and not the in the newsroom.
No thought has gone into those opening graphics at all. Doesn’t even work with the music

Pretty sure its a network template and they have just slapped the logo in it. Pretty bad I agree.
