ABC News needs MANY new things...

It'll be nice to look at different colors besides yellow and blue (along with those awful digital backgrounds/optical illusion blocks of the last couple years), and I suspect despite this shot, the show will not base its entire design color on a 1997 Compaq Presario. I do hope they keep using Ray (their mascot), and there's still a couple of corners to be seen in this design, so hopefully the presentation/interview area will look nice. At least now the weekend crew isn't stuck in the dungeon set and everything's in one building. I'm crossing my fingers the studio is named for Charlie Gibson, not only because it's so deserved, but because having to hear the announcer say 'live from Hudson Square' every day when we barely see the exterior will get generic and dull real quick.

ABC News needs some new creative directors...

a sea of brown wood and 5 million patterns. spot on for ABC. Expectations fulfilled.

They did change up the background shot.

We might actually be seeing a fairly hard reset on the show's design language. Colors can be changes, for sure, but they seem to be committing to a VERY different look. https://pagesix.com/2025/06/13/entertainment/gma-bids-farewell-to-times-square-studios-with-boozy-breakfast-at-irish-pub/

GMA debuts their new studio on Monday https://pagesix.com/2025/06/13/entertainment/gma-bids-farewell-to-times-square-studios-with-boozy-breakfast-at-irish-pub/

WSYX 1988

Yes pretty flat graphics but I give them credit for using a talent open. The “in action” shots work well.

Just saw the first promo with his image and name included alongside Shirleen, Brittany, Sam and Heather’s for 4:30-7am. These same promos did not include him earlier this week. I guess that makes it official.

People have very short attention spans. Those predisposed to dislike “mainstream” media are already not watching. To everyone else, it’s a meaningless blip in a flood of other things competing for their attention. The news cycle has already moved on a few times over from this- nobody is going to change viewing habits either way over this.

Hope it doesn’t affect ABC’s ratings I hope they can stay number 1.

No it won’t really, honestly they never really interacted with the live audience outside except for weather hits, and also presentations outside the studio. I just hope it doesn’t hit them ratings wise.

See the door behind Emily? That leads (is connected) to the main studio. I’ve been there before…

Again I don't know why these stations are updating these POS's when they are in the midst of rolling out a new package

And the interesting thing is, the ABC News channel was HD from its launch in 2010 until ABC TV HD relaunched in 2016.

Don't worry, everybody's expectations here are already low.

Not really given that that's not new technology. New to GMA?? Sure.., but not new within the industry. Anyway, we'll see how everything flows together on Monday. Only suggesting people may want to temper their expectations, if you will....

Sucks!! At the very least some positive news coming out of "waga" as Courtney Bryant called it. Russ Spencer is celebrating 30 years at the station.

A floor made out of screens isn’t innovative or modern? If that’s what it ends up being is quite unlike anything GMA has ever had or anything the other morning shows have.

Most group discussion thread sites I've ever been on have people discussing things they like just as much as they dislike. It's balanced dialogue.

New/modified definitely is the correct description. Looks like a little nod to the 2002 logo, but with the 2006 font. I said on the Discord that I'd like to think there's a little wink to AM America, in there, too.

Looks like the current logo and the ones from the 90s and 00s all in one. Real nice.

The current WX center is next to the newsroom on the other side of the building.....

I've never known a group of people who loves talking about something they hate more than this group in this thread. A lot of assumptions are being made about something none of us have seen. Maybe we'll all be pleasantly surprised, if anyone's willing to deviate from the narrative. Like, how about this? Sam was backstage at the new space, this morning, and was holding a mug with a new/modified logo.
