Will CBS3 be getting the new o&o graphics or will they keep the regular look?

Sounds like it was preempted so they could make more ad revenue or offer make goods.

Madoff part 1 was bumped in Memphis for the 901 Fest, the Memphis in May finale which may have replaced the Sunset Symphony. And next Saturday's part 2 won't air in Louisville because of the Crusade for Children telethon. BTW, here's the IMDb page for Henry's Crime: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1220888/

Knowing 3, they'd modify the O&O GFX.

So WSB did something interesting last night. Rather than show a rebroadcast of "Madoff", they instead preempted it to 2am to show a movie called "Henry's Crime". It wasn't even a big-time theatrical film - it was a low-budget, independent film starring Keanu Reeves. I can't figure out why they did it, but a) did any other ABC station preempt "Madoff" and b) is this par for the course for 'SB? (for those who have lived in ATL longer than I have)

NMSA added a full sample of the "WKRC 1979 News Theme". Very dramatic late 70's theme.

Elvis probably would have done a better job than Larry Tisch!

This one was out of nowhere. http://www.cleveland.com/tv-blog/index.ssf/2016/05/jason_nicholas_moving_to_channel_19_as_chief_meteorologist.html#incart_river_home

Did any stations preempt this morning's Monaco Grand Prix on NBC or yesterday's UEFA Champions League Final on FOX?

This is absolutely accurate. Many female anchors and reports all have the similar styles of dress--literally a dress. Their looks, dress style and demeanors on air make them vulnerable to creepos to contact with them in any way. And this was a thing years before social media became a way of life. And now that it is, it's even easier. And scarier. And the "you were asking for it" excuse is paper-thin, but sadly gives the sickos a leeway into the women they are following. These recent examples from KYW are just the tip of the iceberg, but are still alarming on their own. This needs to addressed in bigger places. The stations need to tone down the social media aspect for their employees, because another female anchor will get hurt if or even worse. And it can and will happen to male anchors too.

Maybe Ben's coming back to KYW...big market, and a better place for families with really big space in nearby suburbs. It's his home as well.

I don't think a lot of stations aired it between 9am and 11am. But those were possible airtimes hence why she would not appear after 9am unless there was a major breaking story.
