Description

On June 6th, Scott Pelley became the newest anchor of the CBS Evening News. While no major changes were made in the look of the newscast, there were a few notable tweaks to the graphics - and a major change with the music. The more astute of you will noticed that it sounds like the CBS News theme from the late 1980s - that's because it is. That's right, the network actually dug out the 1987 theme by John Trivers and Elizabeth Myers. The set now boasts a world projection similar to the late 1980s and early 1990s sets, while the graphics take on a predominantly blue design. It feels a bit hodgepodge... and to be honest I'm not sure if going back to 1988 is a great move, but it's certainly a different feel than the Katie Couric era...
