Here's the 3pm open. The 3pm and 6pm broadcasts retain their formats, anchors and branding established at the start of the fall season, as these hours became solo anchor-led and reformatted to make them closer to the CBS Evening News, which KPIX airs in both the East Coast and West Coast versions, and which follows both newscasts.

Worth nothing that these shows have been using temporary opens during the initial months on air, as the new O&O package was not ready. These opens, although using elements of the new branding, they used a cut of CBS Local (the Stephen Arnold Music version of CBS Enforcer made for the Nexstar-owned CBS affiliates).

The other shows have been also renamed, dropping exact times in favour of dayparts, mainly to facilitate rebroadcasting in their local streaming network and also align it (as the new graphics and naming do) to the jukebox style of the CBS News Streaming Network. They also retain their "The Minute" updates when regular shows are not on air.

[*]5pm: CBS News Bay Area Evening Edition
[*]11pm: CBS News Bay Area - The Late News
Personally, I quite like the new graphics and music. The 2015 graphics (designed by Rey Rodriguez/Linear Drift) were really starting to look really dated on air and didn't look quite in line with the work of many of the station's own creations. Still, it managed to survive an incredible seven years in use. Fortunately, the new graphics spell the end of this disaster and the station will now have a much bigger kit of creative elements to use for its promotional and creative efforts.
And yes, as you heard, it spelled the end for the Enforcer theme as we know it. The new theme has the new mnemonic from Antfood, which further makes the gap between local and national CBS News much closer. KPIX is the first station to get the O&O package in a soft launch status, with the rest of the O&Os having them next year (in time with the launch of CBS News Detroit and the long delayed KCAL morning news).
