ABC News needs MANY new things...

They did change up the background shot.

So far, the set doesn't look bad in action, although a different graphic for the monitor behind the desk for the two shot would be an upgrade. Haven't been able to get any screen grabs though.

Yup. Looking at the 4p now, no new graphics

I was just checking out the graphics, and I'd say I wish they had not but the KUSI logo in a white box. If doesn't look great.

While I'm happy for the desk, oh man the rest looks low budget... I'm holding out hope that those cut outs are temporary just for this ad...

After doing that, I've realized that there wasn't anything more to see... LMAO I also hope they keep the 360 degree desk. Maybe they get it updated to something similar to the KMSP set. Their set looks like the next evolution to the current KSWB set.

This is kind of off topic, but I tuned in to KUSI recently to just see how the set looks in action, and they barely even show the set. They are still using a very tight 2 shot at the anchor desk, so you never see the desk. There are no pans, no stand ups; and then the only other shot I saw being used was of the interview set. Not sure if it has anything to do with construction of KSWB's set, but I just found it really odd. But aside from that, their product is awful. I was watching the morning news and they need new anchors immediately. Paul Rudy is not anchor material at all. Not sure if Lauren would be better with someone else, but at the very least, Paul needs to be relegated back to just sports. They really need help on the KUSI side.

Long overdue!!!

This looks like a similar size and shape as KNSD's studio.

I'm watching KNBC right now and they mentioned they are committed to 24 hour coverage and they are borrowing reporters from across the country to help with coverage. Right now they have Dave Summers from KNSD reporting in Altadena.

Of course it's not the same layout, but this is my opinion. The desk is very similar (textures updated), the TV array behind the desk is very similar, the colors are just about the same (again textures updated, no use of all light boxes). And yes, I'm aware the sets have different designers, but for me the first thought that came to my mind was KGTV.

That's basically the 2024 update to KGTV's current 2012 set... Yikes... Can't believe that set is still being made all these years later.

I was just thinking about this and I feel like they must be prepping for Marianne to retire soon. Just speculation, there has been no announcement.

I look forward to KSWB getting them, they are in dire need of graphics overhaul. Unfortunately, I feel like they will be waiting until their new facilities are done. A little off topic, but I have noticed some tweaks to the KUSI graphics since they moved into the KSWB building, like the adoption of the ticker and L3 animations.
