Strange because their sister stations in Philadelphia also used it, so what would replace it.

The website now shows Storm Tracker 4 again. Maybe it was under maintenance?

It seems that WNBC dropped "Storm Tracker 4," the S-Band Radar in partnership with Rutgers University. There has been no on air mention or is listed as a radar on NBC O&O weather map sites.

Looks like Janice isn’t in the studio, maybe she has a chroma at home now? 

The Olympic Rings are back on the bug.

Why are they not formatting their election lower third to match the size of their regular lower third?

Many of the NBC O&Os have done something like this since N launched in 2016. My only guess is that Artworks (I think they are called something else now) allows the option for affiliates to use the graphics for the "Decision" graphics. But again, why they don't have a format specifically for N for all the O&Os I still don't understand.

Why not put the news desk back in the studio?

I assume it's because of the platform of the desk is not on stage right. Notice below that Janice is standing while Bruce is sitting.

I hope this is a temporary desk (then again, no where for the indesk workstations). The 4 vector is also totally off.

Two anchors in front of the desk backdrop tonight with the headline graphics on screen.

Again tonight, anchor is standing in front of the newsdesk with an OTS effect on the monitor wall. Maybe they are rehearsing for multiple anchors with social distancing when two anchors are in studio?

Not sure how the newscasts were earlier in the day, the 6pm newscast today had Natalie standing in front of the desk with a backdrop graphic similar to TINY but added a tone of blue.

Let us not forget the forgettable conference room 

Not only their using the studio but the crawl looks like from Look N graphics from the WNBC newscasts. 

Wednesday and today, the 11am newscast was abbreviated to 15 minutes. New York Live ran from 11:15. Today, New York Live was on for forty five minutes.

WNBC has improved the video for the talent at home. The color of the video from Maria looked a bit off and it was adjusted this morning.

Looks like they added lighting. WNBC probably had to wait to get additional light kits for remote talent.

News 12 LI and LI+ is showing the NJ feed. 

WNBC aired a 7pm newscast and a repeat of Nightly News tonight.

News 12 unveiled their new weather truck, Thunderbolt 12. To bad the 12 from the old logo was used.

The new “12” logo can be seen on sponsor cards.

Weather graphic changes continue. Here is a Cur Temp Map featuring a different style for temp and location name.

WNBC has updated their livestream for commercial breaks. Unfortunately, I can't seem to upload the print screen like @IceManNYR..

Also, New York live is live streaming on NBC New York as of today.

Here is a snapshot of the breaks during when watching live on the internet. The rainbow circles animate.

Due to the Manhattan power outage, WNBC is doing their 11 PM newscast from WNJU Telemundo 47.

There are no graphics and the color of the video does not look right.

Back in the Blackout of 2003, WNBC was able to broadcast from their newsroom (even at times their studio 6b).

Nothing beats the CG background in the 2003 set in 6B. This may be a placeholder for the early AM because the city lights are dark and its just a very dark background.

Am I crazy or did WNBC update their anchor back drop? I never remember them having a giant screen. Didn't it used to be the "window" look? When did they change it?

This was something out of Studio 3C setup which I believe they used several large LCD TV monitors. In 3K, the monitors consist of an LCD monitor wall from the start. Maybe they are going to follow what WCBS does with their set LCD monitor wall backdrop with OTS graphics?

Sad that the OTS live shots have better audio than the newsroom.

WNBC is the only NBC station I know that doesn't have the GEC chime when the forecast graphics appear. Well, it seems that WNBC now follow the many other NBC stations that do.
