Since the graphics debut? I haven't heard any new ones. Just the same cuts introduced in 2017.

6ABC finally got rid of the old ticker at the bottom of the screen. But they don't have the new one yet.

Are they switching the animation at the end to what the other channels are using? Aka this...

Two things I have noticed with Action News. 1: There are two different versions of the breaking news and the weather cards. Not sure how they decide when either one are used. 2: They are having serious issues with their bumper music. Throughout all newscasts today, the bumper would play at unusual times, such as in the middle of a report. During the lottery numbers at 11pm, the bumper kept restarting every time they switched to a new states lottery drawing numbers. There were also multiple times where it didn't play when it was supposed to, or it was late.

They were the third station to get the new weather graphics.

To me it looks like they have a new desk and that's it.

What local TV stations are the most well known nationally? Which stations have a significant dominance in their local market? Off the top of my head, I can think of WGN, WABC, WPVI and WSB. Comment any others you think deserve this title.

When it comes to local newscasts, I've noticed a pattern emerge in most media markets, especially the top 10. ABC is usually no.1 in the market. NBC is a close 2nd, though sometimes it surpasses ABC. But CBS? Almost always in a distant last place. Is there any reason as to why CBS is so bad?

KABC has a preview of their new graphics with this add. Off topic: I haven't heard of a newscast being on the radio in years.

So 6ABC is getting a new meteorologist next week. I wonder if they will switch over to the new graphics when she starts because the news intros would have to be updated to include her.

It seems like it may be Chris making that decision. He seems to always be with his kids, so I assume he may be a mostly stay at home dad while his wife is working.

To my complete surprise, Action News has a new meteorologist! https://x.com/paytondomschke/status/1752096810137436165?s=46&t=kSdgGOGiaM-lEjfQmkMEig

What will probably happen is the usual scenes you see in the intro, followed by the new flying graphics in the new package.

FX team at it again with the actual forecast next to the meteorologists name!

Never in a million years could I see them doing that. What’s likely going to happen is the full theme with the typical scenes of people in the city and the “Action News, Delaware Valley’s leading news program, with…”. The only thing that will change will be the graphic at the end, which will be the new intro that all the stations are adopting.

We've got a new reporter on our hands! Charles Watson. Can't find anything about his past, but here's a video with him. He's so new they don't even have his bio on the site yet. https://6abc.com/perkiomen-valley-high-school-student-fight-montgomery-county-pennsylvania/14145938/

Here’s a look at KFSN’s new graphics. https://youtu.be/nhhx5jvSTIw?si=lTnl45xkE6Nd_KRs

Did anyone else notice 6ABC changed to the new bug in the middle of the parade? They are certainly close to switching over to the new graphics.

Has anyone noticed that Jamie Apody has been missing for a few weeks? Wonder what’s going on.

It is on the horizon. This whole page is about ABC standardizing graphics amongst its O&O’s. They are just rolling it out very slowly.

Its official, John Paul is the co-anchor of noon. https://6abc.com/about/newsteam/john-paul/

They also had a promo in the newscast for the noon newscast. In it, they showed Sarah Bloomquist and John Paul as the anchors, so that probably means John is the permanent second anchor.

Here’s the debut of the 10AM newscast! This is really interesting, it seems they are keeping Alyana, Alicia and Nydia all on the desk as regular anchors at the same time! But this makes desk looks really cramped. Also to note with the intro, for the first time in years, MCTYW is being played in the original key! I am also surprised that they didn’t debut the new graphics today.

So it looks like each station will be able to customize the accent colors. KTRK has red in place of yellow, and the blue looks a bit different. I wonder what they will do for breaking news, as WLS uses the blue with red accent color scheme for that.

Since were now getting a 10AM newscast, who do you think will anchor it? And do we yet to have an actual lineup for noon?
