The graphics remain the same, though. 

Upon first inspection, I thought it was a variant of the Nexstar ABC package, but this look pre-dates that (going back to LIN-MG) and has lots of similarities...

Those graphics need to go ASAP!!! They are god awful..

Very nicely done.. I was kind of worried what they would do...

I thought the same as well when they shifted Spencer Christian from 4 and 6pm weekdays to weekend evenings.
 

They have a huge weather team, with Mike leaving they’ll just have it like the old schedule and extend Drew to middays, Frances, Spencer or Lisa to replace for Mike’s shift at 4 and 5pm and with Sandyha at 6 and 11.

Besides... they really don't need 6 meteorologists in SF... 

Per their station Instagram, Hearst's WMTW in Portland, ME debuted a new set on October 10.

I don't know why everyone is so picky about sets being in the corner.. I think it makes great use of space that's usually not used... Take WOOD for example.. They hosted the MI Gubernatorial Debate last night... They were able to move the anchor desk completely and use that space in the corner for a "press room" area... A lot of these sets where you see big ass desks dead center in the studio would have a hard time being moved someplace else if they needed the studio for something else...

The New Set will Debut at the end of the month.

Hothaus won. Death to the Gray graphics hub!

Is it just me, or do I see several elements of the Nexstar/WISH graphics?? I see the use of Barlow.. but I'm getting WISH vibes...

First look at the temp set. I certainly hope it’s not done yet. Pretty bland. 
 

 

It's a freaking temporary set... there's no need to go all out on it... it's just fine for a few weeks/months...

If they want to be taken seriously about weather, they need someone other than Ella. 

She needed to go the moment she got there... She's been shown all over the internet for the wrong reasons... She can go anytime

CBS Detroit will be using the Next branding.  Their "Next Weather Tracker" debuted at the Detroit International Car Show.

Looks pretty good. I wonder if this is the start of a Scripps-wide overhaul. Though if you're going to have so much blue, you may as well update the logo too, or at least add yellow accents.

I kinda hope not -- IMHO this was a downgrade.  The anchor desk looks cheap... and come on... Plastering TV screens in front is so 2000s... They definitely could've done better here...

So I lied. They got a while new set! Main anchor Katie Raml posted this pic on Facebook. 

Can a moderator change the name to KNXV new set or something like that please? 

Chief Meteorologist Amber Sullins posted about their Desert Doppler 15 Weather Center getting "new digs"

A final update to this thread so much longer later; they've switched the weather system to the O&O system as of July 20, 2022. Now to wait for the station to hit FoxNow full-time.

 

 

I will say it is one of the cleanest versions of the O&O graphics... Other stations should adopt this instead of the gaudier red and blue graphics

Meh... I give at 6/10... For a market this size, it's underwhelming and like someone else said  - sterile.  If anything, the interview area is more impressive...

KTVT's Karen Borta did Atlanta and Detroit's CBS News Now's

I wonder if they'll incorporate the little 5 note ditty that WBZ and WCCO are using for their weather

Here is WZZM's layout -- every TEGNA station I go to has the same layout in dark mode in full desktop mode.

Has anyone else noticed that TEGNA websites now conform to the dark theme if it is enabled??

In Houston, KRIV Fox 26's Mike Iscovitz has been promoted to Chief Meteorologist for the station; he will continue to work the weekday morning and midday newscasts, unusual for a chief meteorologist anywhere in the country (usually C.M.'s work the weekday evening news).

Additionally, former KBMT, KXAS and WEWS meteorologist Remeisha Shade has joined KRIV as their weekday meteorologist, meaning she will do the weekday evening newscasts starting in September 2022.

Seems to me there are several CM's that work in the AM.. WXMI's Kevin Craig here in W. Michigan works AMs

I definitely see a rebrand and also the first of the Meredith stations to switch to Gray graphics

Lots of dark woods/tones... Screams late 90s to me

I'm not too fond of the tall/thin fonts... reminds me of what KOIN had used before they updated... the smaller that font gets, the harder it is to read.... I give it a meh... 

This looks FANTASTIC!!! I hope the complete package is just as sharp... 

Definitely an improvement from the botched bs they had before this... Why they still have the poorly revamped Hearst weather graphics is beyond me... it looks even more outdated and gross than before... But overall a very very slight improvement from before...
