That is without a doubt how not to close a radio station - the Today FM closure was so sudden and a surprise to everyone - it was basically business as usual one minute - drama the next. Not a good look for the station. My thoughts go out to all at Today FM - what a bad decision by Mediaworks

This is the previous intro used from 2019–2023 (albeit the theme tune for this case was used from 2021–2023).

While Fuji TV is moving away from using unified branding and graphics for its news programs, NHK, Japan's public broadcaster, has announced that it will be using unified graphics for its news programs starting next week.

Here's how media experts reacted to the sudden decision:
https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/03/30/experts-question-fairness-of-consultation-process-amid-today-fm-cull/
The replacement station is rumored to be a music station, as Mediaworks plans to focus in its more lucrative music radio networks. Much to the chagrin of acting CEO Wendy Palmer, a document was leaked to many media outlets, featuring plans to cull 50 staff.

Additionally, the NZ Herald is reporting Today staff could threaten to take legal action:

20 years ago, Hongkongers were shocked to find singer Leslie Cheung committing suicide, on April Fools of all days. These were the local Cantonese news reports afterwards. CW: Contains site of the suicide.
TVB: Leading the headlines that night also included the evacuation of residents to a quarantine camp, as where they lived was suspected to be the point of SARS mass spread.
https://youtu.be/rtFx9YBejw8
ATV: Important to note that Cheung started his stardom on an ATV (then RTV) talent show back in the 70s.
https://youtu.be/sQ0AxbZdDVI
i-Cable News: Ticker showing a government clarification of an online rumour, which claimed Hong Kong as an infected area. As that was clarified, many dismissed the singer's death as a terrible joke. Alas...

Seems prompt of me to follow up with TVB Pearl, TVB's English channel, from about two weeks later at the peak of the SARS outbreak with the iconic Jenny Lam hosting. The situation seemed serious enough that the News at Seven Thirty was down to solo anchoring. After the news there is a little breakfiller by TVB regarding SARS.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBCO3grSamc
This was arguably the golden age of TVB's English news, a month and a half earlier, they had sent a big team out to the Middle East to cover the lead up to what would be the Iraq War, something unthinkable today.

Also worth noting that the reporter in Kuwait, Raymond R. Wong, was not only the then head of TVB News but also an Assistant General Manager of TVB. He retired in 2004.

The morning news on Fuji TV,
Mezamashi TV, had a new look in preparation for its 30th anniversary next year.
https://www.twitter.com/nado_rv/status/1642679781417422848
Also, the morning news on Nippon TV,
ZIP!, had a new look as well, replacing the ribbon design, which was only used for two years, with a thread motif.
