A recent interview in Newsday featured Katiy Tong: https://www.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/kaity-tong-wpix-qhg4zhj3 She reflected on her time at WABC (where there were protests in 1991 when she was dropped as anchor) and WPIX (where she reminisced about her time with Jim Watkins). She also mentioned that her recovery has not been easy. Hoping for the best for her.

Yeah. KABC's current graphics still look great and relatively modern, yet has appeared somewhat outdated in recent years. Their news set remains my personal favorite among the ABC owned and operated stations, however. If I'm not mistaken, they are under some type of O&O-wide mandate to switch over to the new graphics package within a certain time frame. But, given that it is such a large undertaking for it all come to fruition, and, as you mentioned, to have that ultimate look, those may all very well be playing a role with regard to them taking their time with changing over to the new package right now.
