That Sat1 look was ahead of its time in several respects.
The former VTV (CIVT) is now a part of the CTV network, and you can see what its current morning show looks like in this compilation of 2011 Canadian morning show intros (it's the first intro you'll see):

Australia's Ten News continues its haphazard, half-done approach to presentation refreshes with a new opener and headline L3s, tweaked theme and some minor presentation changes launched today - only a year after similar changes were made.
The opener is the most drastic change, ditching the deep blue, 3D graphic designed by an external company in favour of a white, 2D effort that I assume was made in-house.
They've also launched local news promos, which they've inexplicably not been airing for many years despite their competitors doing so. Here's Brisbane's:

French newspaper Le Figaro are reporting that Laurence Ferrari is quitting 'Le 20H' on TF1. She's been the main weekday presenter since about 2006/2007 I think.
Strangely, it's a worldwide trending topic on Twitter at the moment. I wonder if the same would happen if somebody like George Alagiah left the News at Six?

@KevizzMS: I like Ten News' new graphics, but they really need new sets. Like many people, I loved their late '90s / early '00s newsroom set in Sydney. I still don't know why they ditched it instead of giving it a makeover.
French TV is a bit different from British TV in this respect. Since the 1970s, the French networks have had high-profile star anchors based on the US model. Unlike BBC-style newsreaders, these anchors have traditionally personified their networks and have had the status of national celebrities. In the 1970s, Roger Gicquel was TF1 for instance, a mantle later taken over by Patrick Poivre d'Arvor, who jumped ship from Antenne 2. When Patrick Poivre d'Arvor was replaced by Ferrari in 2008, it was a major news story in France -- and even abroad:

In fact, the opening lines of this article from The Telegraph say a lot about the anchor star system in France, which persists despite the proliferation of 24-news channels:

Quote:
Patrick Poivre d'Arvor, 60, has presented Europe's most watched news broadcast for the continent's most-watched channel, TF1, since 1987. Nine million French viewers tune into watch the softly-spoken Breton every evening for what the French call "high mass."
Such is his fame that he is known simply by his initials, PPDA, while his comb-overs and frequent hair implants are a regular topic of national debate.
But yesterday it was announced that TF1 had decided to replace him with Laurence Ferrari, 41, an experienced anchorwoman and recently voted France's most glamorous journalist. News coverage was almost akin to a national disaster.

Car-crash TV: Laurence Ferrari quits news after gaffes, rows and poor ratings
Weeks after the demise of Sarkozy, the TF1 star he's said to have dated finds herself out of office too
JOHN LICHFIELD
Not since Marie-Antoinette has a French queen been beheaded so publicly. Laurence Ferrari, the presenter of the prime-time news on the most watched French TV channel, will leave her job in July after four years of off-screen disputes and falling ratings.
Ferrari, 45, and her employers, TF1, insist that no one reached for the zapper, but her days, or evenings, in the most prestigious job in French television news have long been under threat. A poor ratings performance and a series of stumbles during the presidential election campaign sealed the fate of a woman who was hailed, by some, as the exciting, new face of mainstream television four years ago.
