These look alike because they were produced by the same American company. (Of course, this could also be the case with SBT's news graphics.)

In fact, let's add Australia to your list: Wink

Channel 2's nice. Don't like that anchor L3 but very classy station!

Austin also lives up to its urbane, indie image with that promo for KEYE. Nice stuff.

Yes, that channel 2 is in my hometown. It's a shame that logo only lasted a few months. It may be coming back, though.

I was just about to say how very strange the DR news clip was.
How many news broadcasts in the 1980's had a PSC wandering from the gallery down to the studio? Also, how relaxed was the news presenter?


From the other side of the world, here's another variation of this concept, a live handheld camera walkthrough from the newsroom to the control room (gallery) at the end of the news:

What a fantastic closing sequence!

I finally remembered what this logo reminded me of: the defunct European Business News (EBN) channel from the 1990s, which had very elegant graphics for its time:
