The anchor desk is so close up to the wall. Who will be the first to back into it?

KSWB final broadcast at 7191 Engineer Rd is today. This afternoon is the reveal of the new set as they move 10 min east across Kearny Mesa to Viewridge Ave and merge with KUSI.

Wow they finally killed off One and Only that was the sound of KUSI! At least they didn’t go Aerial….

Paul Deanno just announced KCAL finally gutted the old CBSLA studio and it’s now the 6th station in the O&O group to get the AR/VR set and will debut tomorrow.

I doubt it, look at the wall on the set. It wouldn’t make sense to reprint the graphics again and change out the wall. It kinda looks the the X in FOX. Kind of similar when KTXL had a X on the wall on their previous set.

say no more….I see where you’re going there with KMSP, it’s more white, grey and chrome. From its Brick lofty studio look, the new KSWB set is slowly making its debut. Right now the Promo for their July 4th Big Bay just dropped from the new studio. Seen in the photo attached you can see a circular anchor desk. Instead of a real surfboard that they currently have in their studio, they have 3 stenciled out surfboards covering a tv monitor.

Most likely be a VR set, quicker setup

If you are on instagram, you can search KUSI-TV under places and look under the Recent tab. There’s so many pictures and videos of the studio and newsroom. The set up pretty much looks like how NBC Bay Area and Telemundo is with studios next to each other with a massive newsroom. It’s kind of hard to see the KSWB side of the KUSI newsroom since the studio is dark so you can’t tell if their studio is even done or not. Do we even know when their move in date is since they’re still at the other building?! It would be nice if they kept their 360 desk. It’s so unique how BDI designed it. At least yay it’s an upgrade for KUSI but like you said, they never mentioned its debut or gave us a tour of the new set at least. I feel like the set is still underwhelming with them having a newscast with segments that could’ve utilized more studio space besides a desk, an interview area and green screen. Not sure about the tight shots. It’s pretty much up to the director in the control room to call the shots. Remember, KUSI is more of an older audience, they don’t care about studio shots and jib cameras panning in the studio. Unlike FOX5, they are all about that stuff. its also still surprising while looking at the videos on instagram that the newsroom is still dark. I mean all the computers and TV Monitors are not functioning and it’s almost 6 months in after the remodel.

We are going on 6 years with the graphics package. This is actually a nice refresh and update to the Lower Thirds. Looks like each station in the group have went different directions either by changing the colors away from the Red, White and Blue or some have switched to the LIVENOW on FOX lower thirds

The set screams BDI with the 2014 era KCNC/KFMB anchor desk

KPIX also dropped their 5am newscast for sometime. they now broadcast at 6am then 7am on KPIX+ 8am was also dropped and shows a replay of the 7am, recently found out during daylight savings when wondering why it’s still dark outside behind the anchors when it’s sunny outside instead of saying “previously recorded” like you see on the stream, they cover the timestamp with a grey box

Looks like the set we were speculating for is dead. Juliette Goodrich posted on her Instagram Story they were prepping for the election night rehearsals from the virtual studio, I noticed something was off and it was more bigger than the first Virtual studio. looks like they built a secondary virtual studio but more bigger. You can see the portion of the old temporary set which was the existing previous set that was used when they were in transitioning before full chroma key newscasts. The newsroom set is now only used for weekend mornings and Noon RPReplay_Final1729744848.mov

The more I keep watching KRON, the graphics are simplistic and colorful which is taking me back to KTLA in 1997 when it had the Linda Kane Design look prior to the 2004 refresh with “Prime News”

KRON debuted new graphics (seen on the graphics section) and farewell to Aerial. Stephen Arnold remixed KRON Instant Classics from Michael Boyd and brought back the brand back to the Bay Area

All those hours of news, it better be covering every city and county

Beloved KGO ABC7 Mornings Anchor Kumasi Aaron announced that she is leaving and headed back home to Florida to be closer to family after losing her father which has been a challenge being away. Her last day is this Friday. She will definitely be missed. The chemistry between her and Reggie Aqui can’t be replaced.

So is WBFS/WFOR the only duopoly to keep CW in the group?

She posted on Facebook she is on medical leave and receiving treatment.

KPIX will soon be shifting all their evening shows away from the studio onto the Virtual Set https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-stohzPWVx/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

The Virtual Weather Studio got a redesign with a brown wooden tone look similar to its CBS News 24/7 10am stream The previous look was more of a vacant office floor

KSWB’s Kathleen Bade final broadcast is tonight
