Famous Bob Barker Studio vs Bob Barker Studio at CBS
Drew72:
Ok... I know you guys must have picked up on this. They have basically replaced "CBS" with "Famous" in the intro and it's gotta mean something. Are they planning ahead because the building was recently sold? What are your thoughts because they don't just change up the intro from the past 10 years because they simply feel like it. There's a reason for this.
Mr. Weatherman:
The reason is CBS no longer owns the building. That’s pretty much it.
I wasn’t even aware of the change until I saw this thread and watched today’s opening just now. I can’t say I hate it, but if CBS is leasing the space, then it’s still technically ”the Bob Barker Studio at CBS in Hollywood.” The old spiel was fine as-is.
Unless...
Under this new agreement, is CBS leasing the space for Price or Fremantle? If it’s the latter, then the spiel change makes sense as CBS would have nothing to do with the production space.
Drew72:
Apparently the deal was finalized in December and the building was sold. I agree I don't hate it and it IS better than "From the Bob Barker Studio at Hackman Capital Partners Building in Hollywood". But I would prefer "From the Bob Barker Studio at Television City in Hollywood". I think most would agree.

Perhaps more importantly, the building is no longer named "CBS Television City." It's just "Television City" now, and as such, the Bob Barker Studio really isn't "at CBS" anymore.

Even then it might have to be "...Television City Studios..." as, according to the credits at least, it's Television City Studios [sorry, not sure how to make it smaller]:
