I can confirm that as of tonight, KNTV is using their new graphics.

 

EDIT: Whoops, I did not see the post above. Sorry about that.

Have you guys seen this? I know it may not be related to new graphics, but WRC looks to have acquired a new desk:

Word is that WVIT debut the graphics today too. Chyron posted a picture on their facebook page.

That's awesome. Glad that Thirty got new GFX, can't wait for 'CAU to get these, too!

I wonder if WNBC will adopt the new graphics too, otherwise they have been known to adopt their own graphics for its newscasts, despite being the flagship station of the network.

New graphics look good on WVIT, but they're still using a VERY blue peacock from their 2000 Giant Octopus graphics as a looping animation in their projection screen. *headslap*

I was wondering if some changes are in store: the 11pm weeknight open is using a different cut of NBC Stations - without the "Working for You" theme and a stretched (4x3 -> 16x9) short open. Plus they've been running some different L3s during the Decision 2012 packages (albeit using Arial Bold). Now a new desk... Haven't checked out any other day parts, as I'm at work at the time...

No more "Working for You" signature? Say it ain't so!

Speaking of WRC, it looks like they are next to getting the new graphics. Right now only the weather graphics have changed this morning.

 

UPDATE: As of 11:00 a.m. this morning, WRC launched the new ArtWorks graphics package. They teased the new graphics this morning with mostly the weather graphics. The music open is a return to the NBC Collection with Working for You signature first used in 2008 before the HD launch with the open music that was used on KXAS and KNSD. The launch this morning during their midday newscast is the same way that they launched in high defintion in April 2010.

So let's run the tally, shall we? Keep in mind I'm just assuming the letter designations for everything but Look G, because people keep referring to the KNSD graphics as Look G when that's apparently the designation for KXAS' graphics.

 

LOOK E (Block logo look)

KNSD

 

LOOK F (Blue/White peacock)

KNTV

KNBC (modified with yellow accents; no serif font)

WVIT

WRC

 

LOOK G (peacock colored bars)

KXAS

 

STILL WAITING:

WNBC

WMAQ

WCAU

WTVJ

 

The first three on that last list look to be leaning Look F; I have no idea what TVJ will do, as they're still using block promo elements.

Hulkie, noone knows what WTVJ is doing? I could dare e-mail them. They also made a lot of modifications to Look C and considering how they were the last to get Look C due to the whole we are on sale thing, I think they might just keep it for now. The set is over 11 years old and there is really nowhere they can even do a temp. newscast at this point with Telemundo using the other studio space that WTVJ currently has. They put up a new duratran last year but that was really the only thing they did. I guess move the newscasts to the newsroom (which the set opens up too) and then try to get something with the new look whichever way they go. I would probably say if I was a betting man it would probably steer more to the Look E but I might just say they keep C2 through 2012.

I could see WTVJ doing another WCAU-style modification of the Look F opens since 'TVJ took a page of 10's book when they got Look C and modified that GFX left and right.

Oh and kudos to WRC in The District on keeping their Working 4 You sig on the music while adapting Look F.

'TVJ might get Look F, but I highly doubt it because the graphics (in my opinion) don't fit South Florida one bit! I think 'TVJ should get Look G because it's colorful, like SFL at night... WNBC on the other hand, they'll get Look F.
