Damn.... That brought back memories of what happened last year when WBTV's helicopter crashed.... My thoughts are with everyone at 6abc and the family members of the 2 crew members.

WIS-TV Columbia looks REALLY good.  While I like NBC 12 WWBT Richmond, I am kind of disappointed with all the red.  I mean, that's something that Cleveland 19 News would do.  The blue colors in the background with WIS with the red in their logo looks fantastic.

 

And here's the opens, and they're using Guardian.

No new switches to report, but apparently WBTV has a new logo now - which hasn't made it on air yet (this came from their VUit page).

This is different from the one @Axiom81 shared a few months ago, but the basics are about the same.

Apparently WBTV got the GrayOne graphics today along with the new logo.

I couldn't tell the changes myself.

They incorporated the Stanley Cup on the scorebug, replay transition is different, and the Stanley Cup Playoffs logo is on the top left corner during replays instead of the "NHL on TNT/TBS" logo that's usually on the top right corner. 

Since the Stanley Cup Playoffs got started, there's some minor changes with the NHL on TNT/TBS' graphics
