ABC 7 Denver

Yes. But the building is mostly ready to rock.

It's a former WeWork building. It's already been heavily modernized. The studio feels very PBS NewsHour, imo. Possibly, but they haven't exited their old studio yet. Except for the desk, I don't know what else they've brought over.

I can ask. I know the ND.

Better than "the Shart", I suppose.

Just more so a comment on there being soooo many screens, which add what? What do you call this desk? KDKA uses the first occurrence of it, but I don't know what to call it. RE WTMJ:

Per another video posted by Danielle Grant

A few years back, Scripps sold KMGH's building on Spear built in the 1970s (https://denverprblog.com/2022/07/14/denver7-planning-move-to-rino/). The new studio, located at 2323 Delgany Street, Denver, CO is ready, as indicated by these pictures: I've noticed that KMGH is using the original anchor desk from their DDG set from 2014 - as demo'd in Brian Sander's Exit video. Although the anchor desk was replaced for a seated desk (KDKA's design) in 2015, as you can tell by this photo, it was moved to the new studio. So that anchor desk is already 9 years old. That's more so commentary on Scripps willingness to spend money on any new set. Also, in comparison to the anchor desk from 2014, from the 'other website', it looks like the two front monitor panels were replaced with seamless LED video panels, which provides it a sold, horizonal flow, and no vertical break where I center logo might be cut in half with a black line (seen below). However, it seems like this new set has fewer architectural elements than many other sets have. Where here, video walls are the focal points for standups, with only a few duratrans or flats are designed to hold the monitor panels. So quite minimalist. What are your thoughts on what we see so far? I'll add more visuals as they become available.

This is PBS news.

** David Zaslav, who's a hack.

Sounds like WCPM to me. I recognize their instrumentation and the overlay of the EWN sig is peak laziness indicating WCPM.

Then even more! Pay your journalists more than minimum wage.

I'd argue that if you set runs $200-$300K, you should invest that in more journalists.

Again, as I said, there's been no data indicating a ratings bump because of it.

Sets are a big waste of money.

No. It does look stupid, but it's because Cox doesn't have a clue.

2013. It was holding up nicely and sets cost a lot and don't contribute to a ratings bump.

It's already in the pipeline. KCNC didn't need a new set. https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/pictures/cbs-colorado-new-set-construction-behind-the-scenes/

CBS doesn't care about uniqueness. They prefer complete brand alignment.

It looks like an update of the previous set but with new flooring. I'll be interested to see what the anchor desk looks like.

That won't happen though. In the CNBC article that I shared, it said, In that case, Sony would have kept Paramount and the studios, while Apollo would have taken CBS - and likely would have started to sell it for parts like they have done with Cox stations, maybe even reorganizing Cox stations around CBS.

Dude, environmental disaster recovery have been a reasonable possibilities for decades! Are you saying that it's somehow more likely because of the climate crisis? I'm not sure it's going impact stations in isolation. Many cities will need investment to rebuild.

And you can see how well SBC has done as AT&T Mobility. Cell service still largely relies on POTS and ISP provide the data services (coming from a former Lumen Network Eng ) We've seen consolidation, but companies like Lumen Technologies, Comcast, Dish, Charter, Cox, Frontier, Altice USA, and several hundreds of other LECs wouldn't exist without the AT&T breakup.

The irony here is that Fox has a 17.6% minority state in FanDuel

Not with the way that Skydance produces sequels as almost half their projects. The deal will be confirmed this week. Just pushing this ahead of the announcement.
