NBC6 rolled out their new O&O graphics, logo, and music during the 5:55PM news update.
SFLTV.com was the first to report that WTVJ will get the NBC Miami branding and the new O&O changes. The new opening is the the same flashy, O&O open that KNBC is using, though it seems to be a tad less gold. The new music is similar to what WNBC is using. The only old graphics I could find was the “Chopper 6” .
More details and updates after the jump plus live video stream
They’ve added a moving peacock feather bug in left hand corner. They’re also using a really dramatic “Right Now” and “Developing Story” graphic that pops out from the rainbow peacock while a flashy techno style music plays. Julia Yarbough was the first to mention the new graphics package at 6:13PM while setting up an NBCMiami.com story.
As reported, they’re no set changes, though, we think that the new logo is an improvement. Voiceovers also appear to be the same. The new weather graphics are featuring the new logo, and a link to “Weather.com” rather than the new NBCMiami.com site. Other than the a new 6 day forecast background, radars seem to be the same. Lastly, there was an HD chopper shot at end of newscast flying over Miami skyline. Overall, REALLY nice new package.
We’ll have more updates, information, and video as the night goes on. Stay tuned and check back! UPDATES BELOW.

Update: The South Florida Nightly News logo is now gold. The graphics are about the same as the 6PM show.
They like, totally eliminated the time/temp bug!
It’s very… yellow.
But they’ve still got that same font that they love, haha.
they didn’t add a peacock bug to the left.
that only appears when they air lower third graphics.
the only bug is the new one on the right.
kinda retro, but in hd.
nice.
Saw the new stuff last night on the 11pm news.
Opener was awesome, but the yellow animated thing on the bottom left is downright annoying. Way too bright, big, and distracting.
Also, the constantly switching ‘South Florida Tonight’ and ‘nbcmiami.com’ thing was just as annoying. And that crooked ‘6’ really bugs me.
Finally, the whole bottom thing is way too high – it needs to be closer to the bottom of the screen.
