Looks like Bally's has plans to introduce exclusive graphics for each sport once the new NBA and NHL seasons start in October. Makes sense since they launched with only a month left in the current Basketball/Hockey season. Seems a lot better if they do a full rollout at the beginning the season. Baseball will probably get the same treatment next Summer as well. https://www.newscaststudio.com/2021/04/02/bally-sports-broadcast-design-insert-graphics/

The logo bug for Baseball looks a little different. They do not use the team logos. Instead, they are using the Bally's logo by itself.

Yeh I think the idea behind this is to mainly get viewers to notice the Bally Sports name. It's a brand new sports media brand entirely so it's important to get it out there as best as possible in it's first few months on the air. I think there are plans to eventually go back to different graphic packages for each sport at some point down the line. They also put these graphics together within months which is not easy to pull off. Most networks take years to do graphics like this. I think once they have more time, they will introduce more new graphics exclusive for each sport.

YES Network who is now affiliated with Bally Sports debuted this new ticker today. YES Network has still used the same ticker as FOX Sports with a different font until now. Could this be the official new ticker for the Bally RSNs?

Still a sneak peek I guess but more graphics revealed... I guess they are going to use a lot of sky blue and bright red coloring with their branding. https://www.sportsvideo.org/2021/03/30/how-sinclair-pulled-off-the-gargantuan-bally-sports-networks-rebrand-amid-the-pandemic/

Bally Sports is live! A few affiliates have started showing this new On-Air logo bug. Looks like the new game time logo bug will keep the same similar look with the team logo next to the network logo. I guess they are going to use the "B" a lot more often than just Bally Sports text. I kinda like it with the red shade. It helps the logo look more visible so it doesn't blend in with the ice for hockey games.

You mean like this one?

New score bug has been revealed! Looks like the new graphics will be cloned from sister channel Marquee Sports Network. The score bug itself is modified to be a straight line across the bottom of the screen for Baseball. Wouldn't be shocked if Marquee adapts the same change at the start of Baseball season.

First look at the new studio desk that is being used for the Bally Sports networks. New look also gives a tease at the new graphics but this all that they are showing. I guess Sinclair wants to wait until Wednesday (The day it launches) to show it all as one big reveal. Similar to how they launched Marquee Sports Network.

First look at the new promo graphics. Love the red coloring. It really sticks out compared to the blue branding they have had during the FOX era. I'm really curious to see if the new broadcast graphics will copy Marquee or if it will be something new entirely. This promo also gives a tease of the new music at the end.

Got a teaser of the new graphics and the CBS studio look inside Raymond James Stadium. This was part of a halftime segment for the College Basketball game on CBS. Looks like they didn't want to reveal too much of the graphics as they only revealed the lower third for the On-Air panel. The animation was just a clean wipe. Looks like they are planning to go more dark grey and less blue with the new graphics package.

Wow, I'm glad they aren't going to dramatically changing the score bug like FOX keeps doing ever Super Bowl. Looks like they are going for a sheen and gloss look similar to FOX Sports from Super Bowl LI.

If the eye is going to play big a role in the new graphics, then maybe the graphics could have more of a rounded ends look similar to the March Madness graphics from 2011. CBS obviously needs to get rid of the box shape. Both FOX and NBC are now going the slanted route with their NFL broadcasts getting away from the boxy look. Maybe CBS will go the same route but instead have the outline shape of the graphics align to the CBS eye.

Not seeing any major changes but definitely some hints of it. All graphics including CBS Sports HQ are now adapting a new font and the new logo is starting to be shown off a lot more often. However, CBS Sports Network doesn't seem to be having any change at all especially for their Super Bowl week programs. Looks like CBS is going to wait until game day to debut an entirely new graphics package, or the graphics will just have a more modified look similar to what they did with their last Super Bowl broadcast in 2019.

First look at one of the CBS Sports studio sets on the site of Super Bowl LV. Looks like the design has some similarities to the Super Bowl LIII set. The biggest change though is the new CBS Sports Network logo which is seen here.

With the NFL Playoffs starting soon, I wanted to start a thread on the NFL Wild Card broadcast that will air on Nickelodeon on January 10th. This will be the first time ever that a major sporting event will be broadcast on a kids network. Although Disney XD has aired the Pro Bowl in the past few years, the game broadcast was just a simulcast feed from ABC and ESPN. This game on Nickelodeon will feature an exclusive broadcast targeting a kids audience. Disney and ESPN are going a similar route with their Wild Card game this year with doing an exclusive broadcast on Freeform that will target a Women audience. Not too long ago, CBS Sports and Nickelodeon dropped the first teaser demonstrating what the broadcast will look like. The graphics will feature the current CBS Sports template with a modified design that will tie more into the Nickelodeon brand. The game broadcast will also feature cartoon animations going on in the background. This isn't guaranteed to look like the final product but it definitely sets the tone to what we can expect. What do you guys think of the broadcast look? Could we see this be permanent in the future?

So since all sporting events are on pause and most likely won't resume until June, could the FSN's officially be renamed on the day that the NBA, NHL, and MLB seasons officially resume? I'm hearing that Sinclair is pushing to drop the Fox Sports name as soon as they have a new name ready.
