There's one thing missing on the new Gray websites... News Team Bios.
Looks like the bios have returned to the new Gray sites. A few examples below:

Looks like WLNM-LD in Lansing is now in Gray's hands, with it now being used to retransmit WILX's main signal along with its subchannels. TCT programming has been added to a new subchannel on 10.7/27.7. https://www.wilx.com/content/misc/Heres-how-to-rescan-your-television-571506471.html

As I initially posted on Discord, ABC 33/40 appears to be next in line for the new graphics. They have phased in the new Sinclair WX graphics. They also transitioned from TWC/WSI Max to Baron.
-
Also interesting to note that the weather graphics remain the same (from Wed. AM Online Forecast)

WTVR gets the Scripps website layout on Monday, February 3!
https://wtvr.com/2020/01/30/new-wtvr-cbs-6-news-website-and-apps-launch-monday/
WTVR, WTKR, KSTU, and
WPIXhave all switched to the Scripps website layout. -
Based on certain elements in this, I have reason to believe WILX may be next in the pipeline for some new Gray graphics.

WISH/WNDY have been pulled from DirecTV/AT&T U-Verse after a dispute with Circle City Broadcasting. This means no satellite subscribers have access to these two stations due to their existing dispute with Dish. https://www.indystar.com/story/news/local/indianapolis/2020/01/31/att-u-verse-directv-customers-could-lose-wish-tv-myindy-23-midnight/4624974002/

Note that this only affects the recently acquired Northwest Broadcasting stations. A temporary restraining order has been granted barring the removal of the legacy Cox stations. -
