FINALLY after months on the temporary set they will debut the new set this evening KXII posted a weather update and you can see a glimpse of the set.

KWTV did some re arranging moving the anchor desk to the interview set making it the permanent location and moving the interview area to where the anchor desk was.

According to someone on the Discord server, the regular linear station has the CBS News bug blue, while streaming is white. What is Texas doing right now?? 

 

Get your graphics in order. 

Yeah they are using blue I agree with you on getting it in order.

Looking like KTVT is going with the black box bug variant. From a First Alert Weather promo:

 

 

That’s exactly what they did as they are on the new graphics.

It takes 6 months to construct a new studio in a microscopic market?

I’ve tried contacting them seeing what is taking so long but haven’t heard anything.

We already have a forum on this going.

Set debuts today at 4PM

Oh believe me I agree with them and KTUL both getting a new set.  KTUL has been on theirs since the remodel of the station in 1999.

Yep it’s the real set.

I hope that's not the anchor desk. It's not authoritative. It looks temporary and dinky.

I think that is what they will use for News 9 at 9am and 4pm.

Here’s a couple of pictures from NEWS 9 This Morning as they talked about the move and new set. Starting tonight at 10 and through all of next week they will have stories on the old building and will debut the new building on Sunday at 5:30 as planned. They also held a dedication ceremony this morning at the new building and had OKC mayor along with owner David Griffin make statements.

Kwtv is set for the first broadcast to be Sunday November 13th.  And while the set is still technically not available for the public to see pictures of yet until the debut Karl Torp is working at the downtown studio today and posted this from the set’s Bob Mills weather center.

Here it is.

Sales team in the newsroom? Yikes…

Also remember they have other tenants that will occupy the building it won’t just be News 9.  The Oklahoman (newspaper) will remain along with several restaurants and a YMCA as of now so space was probably limited for sales to be separated from the newsroom.

KWTV employees were given a tour of the new facility on Thursday they were only allowed to post photos of the new newsroom that will House everyone from Sales, News, and 9 Outdoors (billboard advertising) the studio is being kept under wraps from the viewers until launch day sometime next month.

So they are getting closer to debuting the set they have been in the studio testing the new set.

Good news I just talked to someone with Griffin Media here at the Tulsa State Fair and the move for 9 isn’t delayed they will start moving office people (sales and outdoor media) in 2-3 weeks and the news broadcasts in November.

Does size really matter when it comes to news desks?

Right?  Just like the lighting on the desk it doesn’t matter as long as the desk works for them so be it.
