Why did the morning show "sit in a living room" kind of atmosphere ever go away?

And now, KSNT had upgraded its logo and branding!

Yeah, I'm guessing that it just doesn't make sense to have a set with a bunch of unnecessary clutter, like they had in the living room looks. It worked then, but it just doesn't translate now, especially all the fake plants. I also bet it wouldn't have looked too good in HD. The set that GMA debuted when they went HD took away a lot of the excess stuff, and I do think this still looks pretty handsome. That said, the thing I'm missing in morning TV, these days, is a bit of warmth, which this 2005 set had, along with texture and depth.

Good Morning America revamp (1999). About as homely and middle America as it could get!

I feel the same. The video wall trend doesn't give the homely effect that the old physical living room sets used to.

That logo is definitely an upgrade.

Weekend morning to clarify.

Noon and 4pm anchor Christina Watkins has left WDSU for sister station WESH, where she will be morning anchor. She went to WESH to be closer to family; she is an Orlando native.

Based on a walk by the studio tonight, nothing seems to be happening on the first floor and they’ve been using it pretty fully so I imagine this project is limited to the second floor for now. Also never realized the series of doors behind the back wall of screens. Several of them were opened tonight to production rooms and storage areas including the old kitchen set that was used during the Josh Elliott years.

Mort Crim and Bill Kurtis anchor this 6 p.m. newscast on WBBM, 1978:

That new KSNT 27 News logo looks so amazing.

I know why - because neither stations' opens were done by Gray's hub and it's very obvious. Almost anybody can design and animate stuff better than the Gray hub.

On the Discord.

As much as I'd root for a new theme to come with it, every theme they've had since they dumped the wonderful '09 version has been a downgrade.

GMA debuts new graphics on the 28th.

Could Nexstar move him back to WGN or put him on any of their stations? Perhaps they should start airing reruns of It's Garry Shandling's Show. I would watch that.

Here's a clip from WHEC's newscast in 1981:
