At the same day Tom Llamas become the anchor of NBC Nightly News and its own newscast tweak its graphics, CBS Evening News begins to implement chyron as a subtitle for all news story, specifically placing the name of the state (for domestic story) or "WORLD" (international story) above the story name at lower third graphics that filled with blue gradient. A day before at CBS Weekend News Sunday Edition, chyron also began to implemented at headline graphics, replacing the previous graphics leftover from Norah O'Donnell era.

Here's some interview from many news outlets regarding preparation of Llamas role as a new anchor of NBC Nightly News. Variety: https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/tom-llamas-nbc-nightly-news-anchor-evening-news-battle-1236415217/ Deadline: https://deadline.com/2025/06/tom-llamas-nbc-nightly-news-plans-anchor-1236413346/ USA Today: https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/tv/2025/06/01/nbc-nightly-news-anchor-tom-llamas-interview/83947990007/ I expect someone from ABC may doing something similar for Llamas when he takes over the role as a anchor of NBCNN tomorrow, given that he was previously worked with Disney-owned network for almost 7 years.

The full video of final day of Lester Holt anchoring NBC Nightly News: For specific segment:

The official teaser image of NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas is here. When Llamas takes over Lester's role on June 2, it will be the first time a presenter came from a college graduate (specifically Loyola University) since Brokaw, because two predecessors (Brian Williams and Lester Holt) are college dropouts and did not receive a degree, not even Brokaw's predecessor (John Chancellor).

For those lived in East Coast, the final edition of NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt is aired NOW. The video will soon be appeared at the end of the broadcast.

JUST FOR REMINDER: After taking the role as a anchor and managing director a decade ago in June 2015, tonight will be the last day of Lester Holt anchoring NBC Nightly News.

If they want a new studio, Studio 3K may be perfect permanent place for Tom to anchoring Nightly News, It is currently vacant since WNBC moved to newly-renovated and half-sized 3B (together with WNJU) in 2023. Studio 3K is a very large studio, and much larger than Studio 1A that Nightly currently use. Assuming that NBCU think that the new studio (even new graphics) for Tom is necessary, they could renovate that recently-vacant studio to make it more "European-feel".

The last time Nightly News rebrand is in June 2023, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of NBC television newscast (Remember, they ditched Serif-based font in favor of NBC Tinker one to more aligned with NBC proper branding). The rebrand was happened two years before Tom takes over Lester's role permanently in June 2025. I also think that current graphics package is too futuristic but still relevant for digital audiences, which are most consumed by younger people. When Tom Llamas takes over the role 11 days from now, the current graphics package will be even more relevant, given how much younger Tom currently as a anchor (born in 1979).

I believe during Scott Pelley era (2011-2016), they use the original 1987 open as bumper break, alongside the variations of 1987 theme.
