They need to just trash the whole thing and start over. I like the original upstairs of the Times Square Studio. They had distinct areas: Home base, news desk, living room area, kitchen, interview area. Wish they would go back to that set up.

Looks like WFIE is getting ready to switch based on this new promo on their Vimeo page...plus another newscast...

I saw that, but there's no update on FOX 46's side of things which it's pretty odd.

Back to the regular desk this morning.

It looks like a hand me down from a local news department. The current Good Morning America set was a disaster from day one. It just keeps getting worse.

glad to see The 10 o’clock news branding back. another station that went back to previous branding is WLS. After 17 years as “ABC7 News”, they brought back “Eyewitness News”.

The major problem though is that on-air, these have been atrocious to watch. Animations seldom work (delayed, glitchy, animations seem incomplete), the quad-sreen over Morken's shoulder has been blacked out during the newscast all week (the screens themselves are not new- part of the studio re-design in 2012-ish. Is it software related? pre-mature rollout?

Can't wait for the Trump Golf Course Forecast followed by a rundown of severe weather warning areas drawn on maps with magic marker. In all seriousness, I wonder if this might move Accuweather to make their channel (if it still exists) an over-the-top streaming service, or if The Weather Channel will offer a more weather-focused version of Local Now. Also, can't think Weathernation's very happy about it. I liked The Weather Network out of Canada's streaming offering they had a while back - it had TWC-esque local forecasts and everything - but it just up and disappeared one day from their app.
