The Belmont Stakes has its own bespoke graphics package, which is surprising because I thought they'd be dragging out the old black rectangles for it. And shockingly it's not huge and in your face. It's very green and gold with shades of the World Cup, and the old US Open theme music strikes again.
-
Kentucky Derby and USFL have been using the new logo as a bug. Sticks out like a sore thumb on the default graphics too
-
YES Network has new graphics, but the scoreboard itself remains unchanged.
-
Bally is showing the pitch clock as an overlay on the diamond graphic. Not a bad spot.
-
CTV News Channel got new graphics. They're ... OK. Their last update was a harbinger for a new local news package, and that ticker is very ESPN TSN BottomLine (right down to the size of the banner ad slot)
-
CCHA college hockey bringing us a very close recreation of Sportsnet's 2014-2021 (though besides the fonts/colors, the main difference is that SN put the scores adjacent to each other instead of like this)
-
ESPN appears to have iterated from the XFL 2020 graphics. Still a similar design based off the MNF graphics, but the scoreboard is much flatter and brighter (in fact it was blinding until they put the ticker up)
-
Appears to match up
-
Taking this with a grain of salt because this image looks off... Why would the down indicator be that small, unless this was captured mid-animation? Where's the timeouts? It looks like something you'd see on a kitschy preseason broadcast. In fact, the Steelers pretty much did this exact design earlier not too badly.

Prepare for something obnoxious or disappointing:

Global News has underwent a major rebrand, with new graphics for all of its newscasts (replacing one based on a now-discontinued imaging package used by the main network), and an updated website. There's a lot of white and red (with the local newscasts also adding in some blue accents). At times, especially with the serif fonts, it feels more like the Globe & Mail than Global, but it's definitely a well-needed update.

Fellow Disney subsidiary Star Sports is the host broadcaster for Indian national team cricket; is it me or does it look like ESPN's NBA graphics rubbed off on it a bit?
-
Only inevitable we'd get a Bally knockoff at some point.

The Open finally got their graphics updated to match Golf Channel's current package; looks nice, and definitely less gaudy than the blue and yellow they had before (although to be fair it was meant to evoke the actual in-person leaderboard) Although this generic font they use alongside the Open's own serif font kinda cheapens it a bit -
Premier Lacrosse League makes its ESPN debut today. They are special enough to get a partial reskin of the college basketball scoreboard rather than the more generic scoreboard the NLL college lacrosse (and previously, college basketball) used, though it looks like it's meant to go with the rest of the "white rectangles" package) (though NLL games on ESPN+ use a slight variant of TSN's hockey graphics, probably because they're falling back on TSN as a bespoke broadcaster for games taking place in Canada, since they actually have more NLL broadcasting experience than ESPN itself)
-
Though, by contrast, NBC's music doesn't sound as "dated" (it's the punchy 80's synthesizers that do it) While we're on the topic, Record's is also a lot more contemporary
-
Yeah, and Globo definitely has their own ways; that music is very 80's
-
NASCAR's getting a new look. It's stylistically closer to the NFL package (illustrations and all) but with more of a "comic book" look. Running order display is pretty much identical except for BOLD ITALIC FONTS EVERYWHERE https://www.autoweek.com/racing/nascar/a38884019/fox-sports-turning-nascar-driver-superheroes/

Rede Globo, a Brazilian powerhouse that had a habit of clinging to old design trends for decades past their sell-by date (although they got a bit better at embracing modern design trends in the mid-2010's), recently unveiled a major revamp to their brand identity. They had been rebranding and reorganizing a lot of their divisions, and had been slowly rebranding as TVGlobo since late-2020, but now it's official. It has a very neumorphic look that has unsurprisingly drawn many comparisons to the equally-massive BBC rebrand.
-
The BBC has undergone a major rebranding, with a tweaked corporate logo and new on-air presentation elements. It is a phased rollout, though; only BBC Four officially got new idents (still carrying on the quadrants theme they've had for a while now), with all the other channels mainly being limited to new promos/etc. As pointed out, the very first program to air wound up (Breakfast) still having an intro with the old logo on it.
-
Stadium is now using the Bally graphics for its college sports broadcasts, using the "fixed" version also used for the Lions preseason games. Though in my opinion I probably would have had them made darker to match the rest of Stadium's branding. Though at one point it looked like someone at network control didn't get the memo, and put a Stadium ticker over the Bally ticker that is also a scoreboard).
-
So it seems like they're patching the scoreboard to have the lower area be transparent. A little better
-
CBC News Network recently got new graphics and, well... I can see bits and pieces of The National's package rubbing off on it, but how they've laid out the bottom bars and L3s seems a little weird. I almost expect the colored bar (here orange for the morning show, though more yellowish in other rolling news programming) to do something like the old Gannett graphics with the rundown...

Golf Channel's airing an LPGA tournament from Asia with a different host production, and unfortunately their automated ticker is getting in the way of some of their graphics positioning. Though curiously I noticed that said graphics actually use the normal NBC Sports fonts, even though they're not what they usually use. If they were aware enough they were going to be on Golf Channel by the fonts alone, you'd think they would have pushed that one graphic up a bit more just in case?
