The graphics look just like the Movie 5 graphics that WEWS used around the same time.

...because they're both from John Christopher Burns/TVbD.

Many of the same TVbD and jcbD motifs of the time reappear on multiple stations:

KPNX 1992/KCTV 1993

KPRC/WPTV (cylinder)

WREG/WSFA/WPTV (squares)

WBAL/WFTV (see above)

"Balls and Walls" (two versions; WSJV, KUSA, WFTV, WSB?, WTHR, KSNW, WSPA, and definitely others)

Pictures on the left (WTVT, WLEX? - #2 is not confirmed TVbD)

Tilted Squares (KOTA, KMPH - KOTA's hung around until 2000!)

...and other repeated and recycled motifs.

WFTV must have been the best looking station in Florida at this time, and considering WTVT's look at this same time, that's saying something.
