Little update on this; John Tesh says all they have to do is give him a call if they win the package. The Fox license isn't exclusive: http://amp.awfulannouncing.com/nbc/john-tesh-roundball-rock-nba-media-rights.html

They'll probably have to wrestle away the license from Fox but I'm sure that won't be a hindrance. The current (or Current) RSN theme is a pretty good #2 option though.

That wall isn't a 16:9 aspect ratio so if they ditched the sidebar and filled the entire thing with whatever they're presenting, it would be a distorted picture. I guess their thinking behind putting what they did there is it gives the presenter a place to stand without blocking any information. I also thought they'd update the backdrop behind the anchors. That still uses elements from the old look. Overall though I love this look and WPVI's implementation of it.

I would say reserve your judgement till it fully debuts. That was just the generic version (notice no talent was mentioned). I think regular opens will feature some more of the cool elements that we've from the other stations including the live time and weather and maybe some scenery or even headshots of the talent.

Prime Sports would be a nice throwback to the old PrimeTicket networks.

PVI has the new weather graphics and are also using the new look in image and syndie programming promos. Really the only place they aren't using it yet are the newscasts. Maybe both stations are waiting for the May books?

Another update, Telemundo 62's 11PM news has been shifted back a half hour to 11:30. It's pretty clear now 10 and 62 are sharing the space. Now what it is they're doing in 10's studio, that's still to be determined.

It's a lot more. Here are the two sets from the designer's website: https://jhdgroup.net/portfolio/nbc-10-news-studio-philadelphia/ https://jhdgroup.net/portfolio/telemundo-62-news-studio-philadelphia/ Both sets have seen refreshes over the 6 years since they moved in the but the layout's the same. Just based off all the evidence, I'm going to say WCAU is in WWSI's studio. I'll venture to say WWSI's news that runs concurrent with WCAU's is beyond pre-recorded.

Not sure how that's possible unless they're prerecording the Telemundo newscast.

More pics. I now think it's WCAU that's in a temp location. There's three studios at the Comcast Technology Center so if one of the active studios needed to be taken out of commission they could broadcast out of the third.

WWSI looks like they're on a temp setup of some sort

That's what was the Telemundo 62 studio. I'm guessing WCAU is getting a new/refreshed set.

Depends on the market

WCAU uses the NWS sites plus WNBC's site in Edison which has pretty good reach into the region. It just misses southern Delaware but gets the rest of the region very well. Plus they still do have the Storm Ranger. Pre pandemic they did have a building permit to put up a fixed site in Aston, PA (someone here actually found it) but I dunno what became of it. I'm guessing it was scrapped.

WPVI is getting closer. They've updated the graphics for their syndie programming to the new look.
