Staying with Bally, the Arizona Family group of stations (KTVK/KPHO Phoenix and KPHE statewide) announced a deal with both Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury to bring free local matches. The two teams previously were affiliated with Bally Sports Arizona instead.

The graphics package they use looks really decent; the openers and bumpers look really impressive. It was designed by the Phoenix branch of motion design studio Viztek, according to NewscastStudio; they also brought back the final theme used by KUTP when it offered Suns coverage, which dated back to the UPN days:

They botched it initially with the score bug, with Arial instead of Aktiv Grotesk:

SCHN is using a rebadged version of AT&T Sportsnet's existing graphics, dropping the company's proprietary typeface (Aleck) for Flama (also used by AT&TSN's predecessor Root Sports).

It looks like Bally Sports Arizona will be no more: after a bankruptcy court broke the deal with the Arizona Coyotes (the NHL team), Scripps Sports has agreed to carry the rest of the contract with them. Matches will air on the second subchannels of KNXV/Phoenix and KGUN/Tucson, both ABC affiliates (in squished SD).

The Coyotes' first match had to be broadcast on both stations' CW sisters (KASW 61/Phoenix, KWBA 58/Tucson) after strong reactions by viewers due to the match being relegated to SD-only subchannels (both in turn simulcast the match too, making it a four-way broadcast). It looks like the matches are not being fully produced by Scripps, unlike what they do with Golden Knights matches, but they have some input from the teams at MLB Advanced Media (which also operate NHL Network); the graphics are very similar to the NHLN graphics too.

The same case for AT&T SportsNet Rocky Mountain, which ceased operations the day after, but ended normal programming and fired all of its staff on October 6th, the moment it switched to the temporary SportsNet Rocky Mountain branding:
