Duopolies With Different Graphics

Are there any stations that have a duopoly or stations that produce a newscast for another that have a completely different graphics package between the two?

There are probably lots of these kinds of cases. Off the top of my head, KDVR and KWGN both look completely different and always have. It's the same case for WXIN/WTTV and KPLR/KTVI. The KPIX-produced newscast on KBCW used to have the same CBS look until they launched the "Nightbeat" format, which uses graphics that vaguely resemble the old WBZ look. There are also probably lots of Sinclair operations that still have different looks. KVAL still has the old Fischer look, while KMTR has the new Sinclair one.

KPHO and KTVK maintain separate looks entirely, though both were in place before the stations consolidated. About the biggest change is that the KPHO set — all of it — was moved to the KTVK facility intact.

 

They're so separate even the websites are different.

WBRE and WYOU?

 

 

Fine, the MAJORITY of Nexstar duopolies. KSNF / KODE, KARK / KLRT, KSEE / KGPE, KAMC / KLBK, KNWA / KFTA, WGMB / WVLA, KTVE / KARD, KTAL / KMSS, KTAB / KRBC, KLST / KSAN,

WPTV and WFTX... WFTX is owned by Raycom, managed by Scripps, and - at last check- uses the Raycom packages.

 

The old Raycom package from Early 2010s. They skipped the other package that came in and WFLX still hasn't upgraded yet.

Actually, it isn't happening. I recently saw their present graphics, and it looks more like a mix of the current Raycom with a flavor of Scripps. I find it to look so awful. I'd rather see Raycom sell WFLX to Scripps, just looking at the L3s.
