The program tweeted out a vine of Wolf introducing the show with all different graphics and included Blitzer standing in front of a video wall with the new graphics.
Drum roll please…We have a brand new look! Here’s a sneak preview; the full debut is tonight at 5pET. https://t.co/MXOB7CiO3m — The Situation Room (@CNNSitRoom) July 29, 2015
These will be the first graphics that do not feature a star ring around the title.
One of CNN’s longest running shows, The Situation Room will mark ten years next month.
The last graphics update came around the time CNN’s D.C. bureau debuted a new studio. TKNN has reached out to CNN PR for word on why the graphics are being updated now, but there was no response at press time.
UPDATE (3:59 PM ET): A CNN spokesperson emails, “The show is celebrating its 10th anniversary in August and wanted to have a fresh look heading into its next decade. ”
