Both BravesVision and Sportsnet have also added the ABS indicators within the past few games. The Dodgers also fixed the rather unusual placement they were using before (which put them in the corner where the pitch clock was) in favor of using vertical pips like everyone else so far (with an ad for SportsNet LA+ appearing in their place).

Since it doesn't operate in Canada, Sportsnet has been using a version of the ABS screens without the T-Mobile sponsorship/branding. Now it's got a sponsorship from the eyewear retailer Specsavers (which had already been sponsoring replay reviews on Sportsnet recently; both cases have been using the tagline "A Closer Look"). You may remember them from the upside down ads they were running during the postseason last year.

Some more observations: CHSN has started overlaying the pitch clock as an augmented reality graphic near the mound. As far as I know, they are the first to do this. The Mariners will be airing 10 games on broadcast TV in Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Alaska, and Hawaii, with KING 5 as flagship. https://www.mlb.com/press-release/mariners-king-5-tv-announce-six-state-list-of-telecast-affiliates Speaking of Seattle, I've noticed that the Mariners' MLB Local Media productions (both this year and last year) frequently use a type of "panel" graphic above the scoreboard that appear to be completely unique to them, and have not been used by any other team. As much as I detest them for how dated they look, this is a detail that does make them stand out in terms of presentation. I think I may have an explanation for them: the old ATTSN/Root graphics did similar "toasts". Given they maintain team-employed staff, it may have been added to replicate this functionality.

Angels' Not Quite FanDuel Sports Network added ABS lamps. Unsurprisingly, they're following everyone else in placement (not to mention the Bally graphics already used that particular style of lamp for timeouts in its uncommonly-seen football mode)

Not quite. New inserts, but in-game graphics are still the same as last year.

Make that 3, SportsNet LA is doing it too Though ... they missed the mark. A lot.

The BravesVision intro has a callback to the old TBS theme music

CHSN and MLBLM are so far the only broadcasters to have lamps for challenges remaining on their scoreboards (with CHSN basically doing the same design MLB did)

Mostly based on the RSN graphics, but there are some new elements. The texturing and team logos on this version of the scorebug makes it look a lot nicer.

Rather than go MLBLM, the Angels bought out FanDuel Sports Network West from Main Street and got an interim deal with the Los Angeles Kings for their next season; their first spring training game had a few noted changes to strip the FanDuel branding (even though the team didn't announce any specific rebranding plans ... yet. May I suggest "Prime Sports"?), and they appear to be keeping the Bally graphics for now (becoming, notably, the only MLB team to still be using them). A side effect of this ownership transition is that the remainder of the Kings' 2025-26 season will move to FanDuel Sports Network Prime Ticket SoCal (likely due to the new ownership not covering the SoCal channel and the rights for this season still being owned by Main Street, but also probably as overflow because I'm certain they were operating under the assumption the Kings would be the last team it ever covers. The Clippers live on SoCal, and the fate of that channel will depend on whatever they do).

Yesterday was the first BravesVision game. It's using the Gray Media graphics that the OTA games use, except they moved the scorebug from the top-left to the bottom-right.

Swiss has been disappearing from anything NBC Sports-related. Though Barlow looks less jarring than what Golf Channel replaced it with. Meanwhile, as with last season, the Mariners have a Spring Training-specific scoreboard (but will undoubtedly be using the MLBN one later). This one is giving me real "NFL preseason" vibes and, honestly, with some polish, it could probably work as a full-time one.

NBC figured out NHL-style "digitally-enhanced dasherboards" and is substituting the Milano Cortina logos on the boards during hockey with ads for the primetime show and specific events. Feels a bit excessive.

As for the OBS graphics, they seem to be still following most of the design first used in 2021 but some of the scoreboards have been updated, most noticeably on curling and hockey. The hockey one is now pretty much in line with typical NHL scoreboards, complete with shots on goal. It is giving me MLB Network vibes, except teal. Though this "Winter Olympics™" tab they're putting on everything is getting annoying (they did something similar in Paris but without the ™ on it, but at least it did eventually change to things like "Gold Medal Match"; would it be easier to just slip a "Women's Group A" in there?)

Unless we get a shenanigan like the NFL where the studio segments use one set of graphics, but the in-game graphics are the frameless/minimalist ones. We are getting a new NASCAR package this season, but it's going to debut during the Daytona 500 and not during Speedweeks/etc. like it usually did in the past. Though, the podcast Kevin Harvick does did switch their graphics to this recently, which does look quite a bit different than the "comic book" graphics they were using before.
