WBTV might be also the next to adopt a new logo, as a TVNewsTalk user found what they might debut when they get the new ANF graphics. This might also see the demise of the current logo, dated from the days it was locally owned by Jefferson-Pilot. Still, we need to see if this will be happening eventually:
WBTV has not adopted that logo, but something in line:
With the change, they also switched to the GrayONE package.
But looks like they've kept their nice lower 3rds which the ABC O&O's have on the west coast I'm glad they did... or I hope this wasn't some glitch...
This is actually a soft launch. They are debuting a 3pm newscast next Monday and the station aired a pilot episode yesterday on its 24/7 stream before the launch; maybe at that moment they will switch to the new look in full. The voice over is The View announcer Virginia Hamilton, who also works VOs for many ABC O&Os and affiliates (specially for its lifestyle shows), and has also narrated the ESPYs (another ABC/ESPN staple).
As for The View, it turned out the "new set" is just a refresh and a new desk. Worth noting ABC is finalizing its move from Lincoln Square to Disney's new NY HQ in Hudson Square (planned for next year, or 2025 at the latest). This will include all productions, including Live with Kelly and Mark, Tamron Hall and The View, plus ABC News and WABC-TV's Eyewitness News.
WALA in Mobile, Alabama (Fox) has flipped to the GrayOne package during their 4pm (main graphics) and 5pm (opener) newscasts - save for the ticker and station bug. This is the 9pm open: up.metropol247.co.uk
Staying with Gray, KTVK/Arizona's Family debuted a new 3pm newscast last month with existing graphics: youtu.be
