When I was working there (I moved this past December) I did hear that they sort of piecemealed the design from other stations. It’s a rather small studio and there are support columns that couldn’t be moved so they had to work around those limitations. I did notice that there was a new open to the 6pm show on the night the set debuted but all the other shows are using the current Scripps look. Not sure if it was a test or something specially approved or what.

The set debuted Monday during their 5pm show. Looks like all green screens, weather wall included, have been eschewed in favor of monitor arrays. There is a weather center desk to the right of the anchor desk, and they are bridged by a double-wide, multi-panel video screen. Tuning in last night I saw half of it used for right-anchor OTS, the other half for weather, and the whole for a generic background.

WFTX has been on a temporary set as of late. I understand demo/reno work is taking place in the studio to turn the previous hybrid virtual set back into a traditional physical set.

FWIW, I just punched in www.cbsnewstexas.com and it redirects to CBSDFW.com.

It hasn’t yet. I expect the ice storm put the brakes on that.

I guess they’re waiting for book to reveal?
