My reaction's fairly dispassionate, but the graphics seem a little heavy and saturated. The over-the-shoulders aren't so much over-the-shoulder as they are taking up half the screen, particularly combined with those distractingly animated lower-thirds. And the logo in the bug sort of fades amorphously into the call letters, looking more like a trapezoid. But really, they're just graphics.
Rod Hill introduced a new three-day forecast, saying that it was "hopefully" the days when he knows what the weather will be like. Then he followed that with the ten-day trend, or seven extra days he's not so hopeful about, I guess. He looked like he's trying to be more animated. He kind of lept across the screen and gave us jazz hands to show us the clear skies approaching on the satellite picture.
I enjoyed the new graphics popping up on top of the commercials most, though.
