I don't mean to discredit the others here, but I put this through multiple reverse image searches and the earliest I've found it appear was November 2025. I remember seeing similar images, but not this exact image in the past. Though when image searching, I found pictures taken with slightly different positions of the anchors, indicating that it was—at the very least—a video, and not a static generated image. So I looked further, and I found a video on Instagram if you'd like to see something closer to the source.
Honestly, could very well be AI, but figured I'd try to see if I could track it down to an actual live broadcast from a news station. I had no luck in doing that, though.

I am an old and can confirm. I've seen this dozens of times years before image generation existed.

As a fellow old I can confirm. But I also think it's highly likely to be a Photoshop job.
