Well beyond time they got a new set and I say this was well worth the wait! It matches Florida and Jacksonville well, it's not super edgy like WJAX or WFOX but it doesn't have to be. It's honestly refreshing in this market! I love the wood and warmness of it and how much it relies on other elements other than video walls and not just the same tired trends like graphics or repeating stuff but using woods, the logo on set, the bricks, the overhead, a different floor patterns. Very unique to see a curved video wall, and honestly, that might be the best part, it's something few newscasts have used here in the states local or national, and for a market like Jacksonville, I'm all for it! Hope WXIA will get something similar.

Looks like WXIA is rolling out the updated TEGNA graphics with preparations for the new set, dumping their tweaked version, and now using blue as the main color.

Honestly, a little riser in front of the curved wall on the WPLG set would help it like with TVNZ, maybe wood or black with a white border.

European done in all the wrong ways! Look at France 2's set, SVT Rapport, Yle Uutiset, TV2 Denmark have use similar ideas, big desks, curved walls, newsroom shots, and repeated colors, and pull it off 10 time better than this!

There's just something that I don't like about TV3 being used for GMA, it's just too dark!

Looks like one of those news set stock images my middle school used for a green screen, what the heck is that desk?

I kind of disagree. I do agree that most TEGNA station's have good sets but for some reason that has not happened with WXIA IMO and here's why, the outgoing set, technically, is over ten years old! The set premiered in 2013 with the USA Today graphics, and honestly, even though most on this forum were not fans of that look, I really liked it. Then in 2018 I think it was, the set was updated and got the TEGNA treatment of woods and bricks, carrying the same structure but swapped out, but on this set in particular, that look has always just looked off to me. (Examples of swaps, the bright lighting was replaced with dark lighting, black floor with wood floor, white column with decent sized glass logo replaced with brick wall with giant metal logo.) Side note: Pre covid, they used lots of shots of the newsroom, for those that don't know, the newsroom and set are in the same large space, and honestly, in hindsight, I really liked those. Then in 2022, the set was updated again, ditching the newsroom view all together. The area that was originally just a faded duratran in 2013 that became a series of panels in 2018 became home base and other pieces of the set were moved around.

But for WXIA, they just had an update around two years ago, which makes me think it's a new set. Plus, the Olympics is right around the corner.

Just now noticing but WXIA appears to be on a temporary set for the past week.

I think that started after Jim Lehrer's retirement, when Woodruff and the late Gwen Ifill succeeded him, not too long after the rebrand from just "The News Hour" to the "PBS NewsHour", still a few years before the 2015 set. I remember during Lehrer's last few years, even if the newscast had two anchors (Woodruff often co-anchored with Lehrer I believe), they would not be sitting at the same desk, one would be in one part of the set, while the other was on the opposite side, separated by a duratran, almost like to give the illusion that they were in seperate places. That started once the new set debuted, with the social's rebranding to "PBS News" as well, even the website. Honestly, it's about time, especially in this digital age, the news operation should not be limited to just an hour, and it honestly makes things confusing in my opinion, imagine if the big three done that. "This is a CBS Evening News with Norah O'Donnell Special Report, I'm Norah O'Donnell in the nation's capital"

The set is set? However it is, tonight's presidential debate on CNN, the first in American history to not be sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates as well as the first to be held this early is underway and will take place in Atlanta, at Techwood. It will also be carried by other networks, though CNN has put in place strict rules for this simulcast such as for the commercial breaks. Also it's sort of a full circle moment, as for the debate, the network is broadcasting from the garden of Techwood, right outside the building Ted Turner originally built for the network. The set.

You beat me to it!

I love it! The last set was amazing at the time it debuted, but honestly, it aged quite a bit so it was time for a new one! It's simple, not that complicated, but I love it for that, and the colors and lighting all tie into together nicely. I see some inspiration from parts of the old set, and some from Europe, like the use of the main wall as a set extension (which is beautiful). My eyes at first did not know how to take the new logo but I think since it debuted, it's grown on me. The graphics are pretty stellar as well. I think I seen that this set will also become Washington Week's set as well, I wonder how they'll change it for WW. Their outgoing set was a beautiful set too, probably better than the News Hour set. Overall, I actually rank this as my second favorite of the main four evening newscasts' sets, behind the CBS Evening News set!

Hello everyone again, Well, this episode brings a wrap to the outgoing school year! It's been quite a ride, and we're already in next year mode, thinking of ways to improve and grow! Feedback is always welcome! I'll be back to this thread specifically once we return in August with hopefully one great product! Also, I got nowhere else to post it so also below is another concept of mine, this time for WXIA. 11 Alive Intro Concept - Made with Clipchamp.mp4

As part of a greater brand overhaul, NRK Norway has debuted new graphics for all of it's news programs, including flagship "Dagsrevyen". Notably, "Dagsrevyen" has more of a global feel with it's graphics, while other shows, such as "Ođđasat", with the same graphics have a more scanadvaian focus, a nice example of how the same identity can be translated between shows.

DW News has debuted new graphics, including a new thumbnail design (getting rid of the old serif font), and lower thirds, which seem to be leaning towards a deeper shade of blue then what the network has used in the past. Intro and in studio graphics are the same but those might change too, will watch over the coming days for any other changes.

HUGE NEWS TODAY. The two presumptive nominees for President have agreed to debate twice. The first will be on June 27th on CNN. This will be the first debate in American history to be before September as well as the first to not be held by the Commission of Presidential Debates, this will be a network EXCLUSIVE. https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/15/politics/joe-biden-debate/index.html

Hello everyone! Been a while since I posted about this but I am here to share our latest episode with you from our school newscast. Before Spring Break, it was our first year anniversary so we celebrated that with a new graphics package which you can see here (which debuted before break) and a new music package that debuted with this episode. All feedback is welcome as always!

Just an observation. For two times today, CNN uploaded some of a newscast (The Lead and OurFront), like they always do, but instead of the CNN logo being where it is in the lower third or being absent all together, it was in the top left corner, faded. Reminds me of how European stations place their bugs (news channel, newscast, or even normal programming. The bottom corners seem to be just a North America thing) and honestly, I like this much better. On air is still the same ol same ol but honestly, if there were to be new graphics in the future, this format could allow for more room text, and just more elegant graphics. Just this idea alone would be something U.S TV has never seen and could be very nice.

I know this isn't New York but remember what happened with Lisa LaFlamme over at CTV? She's only 59 but was let go shortly after she went gray while Lloyd Robertson anchored well into his 80's.

Something going on with Studio A/B's lighting? Honestly, this looks much better!

Ms. Werthmann clearly says it's a temporary set. Bout time is all I'll say until we learn more.

CNN has moved it's remaining Atlanta operations to Techwood, with a brand new set. Honestly refreshing to CNN have a nice set in Atlanta. According to the other site, it was actually supposed to be bigger, with an "upstairs" and taller callings. An AR extension is to follow that will add on to the set with virtual elements that were intended to be part of the original design.

Given my work for our school's program, I 100% understand emphasize this! Some days you just have to improvise and work with what you have while still putting out the best product you can! Just because you didn't have that one wide shot or this newscast is a bit different then the one this time yesterday doesn't degrade the overall product at all! As people have said, it's things people barley notice anyway!

1 News Newshub at 6 News First at 5:30 Newshub Late Three AM (also effected by the Newshub closure) Decided to share the intros and montages of all of New Zealand's news programs for those unfamiliar with the market. I did not include 1's morning show "Breakfast" as it actually doesn't have an intro.
