WALA using THEIR OWN Take on the NBC News 1983 Graphics Package for the open and close. Not to mention using the NBC Nightly News electronic theme from that time period. WALA is now FOX 10, while NBC is at WPMI 15 (aka NBC 15)

From Tucson, here's KGUN's 50th anniversary special, 2006:

CTM will feature celebrity guest hosts while Tony is out on paternal leave. Drew Barrymore, LeVar Burton, Nate Burleson and others are amongst the guest hosts lined up so far. https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2021-05-12/levar-burton-drew-barrymore-among-celebrity-guest-hosts-for-cbs-this-morning

Forgive me here, but it does bear some resemblance. The style of the lower-3rd basically seems to be from the same family, though the font is another story. I agree with the others that the previous package was just fine, but...well, if we hate this one, we can always count on a new style come 2024. Now I'm wondering if they'll be modifying the Nightly News package any time soon. And lastly, the O&Os seem pretty all but certain to happen anytime now.

So, a refresh on top of a refresh on top of a refresh. KYW is never getting rid of that set they've been on since moving to 1555 Hamilton. Are they?
