New graphics during newscasts on Tribune stations?

[MarcB]

Yesterday FOX 61 in Hartford, which is owned by Tribune changed their graphics during their newscasts. Did other Tribune stations do this? And is this in preparation of the takeover by Sinclair?

KMBC has Red Graphics know and new Weather Graphics.

did the graphics resemble those at Sinclair stations across the country, if so, then that's the case

I don't think this is related to any merger possibilities. Tribune generally allows their stations to make their own decisions about such elements (logo, graphics, sets). KCPQ/Fox in the Seattle market changed up their set and graphics in the past couple of years, and I believe it came from the local level. Too soon to tell what the future will hold, but for now, Trib, as I understand it, is still on their own when it comes to such decisions.

Nope Fox17 still has the same graphics.

And now KTLA the other Tribune station has expanded their Morning Newscasts. But I don't know if this is happening at other Tribune owned stations in preparation to the Sinclair takeover though. But its only a local decision for now.

I tuned into the 10pm news on WPIX last night and did not notice any changes.
