Way back in the day with Katie & Bryant/matt it was shown as a green marble column and they would pull up the screen that said today all over it when they started the show and then pull it down to show the window. Then when they went HD is when the different tv screens came in. They dropped the fabric type screen when they remodeled again and add the now dropped Orange Room

the column has always been there, they have just tried to hide it for the last 30 years:

When did the monitor behind the anchor desk (covering the corner column) change to have a thick border? Noticed it this morning on Saturday Today - it’s directly behind Laura on the 3-shot

I think they made the change about three Saturdays ago on the sixth.

The fake mullions (referred to as border), help distract from the fact that its a camera feed, and in my opinion it is an improvement.

I don't know where else to ask, so here it goes...

Is King Charles filmed in front of a live studio audience?

WWBT is already using Gray One graphics.

I don't think that "Vote 2024" graphic is from Gray One.

If it is from GrayONE, the graphics would use Barlow as the font as that is the font choice for GrayONE. Its possible that the graphic was done in house and was designed so it would match with their existing graphics as well with GrayONE, so it could be used the end of the election cycle.

They are the first to use Warner Chappell music with the package too.. This was a very well deserved upgrade for KWQC

They have been using "Hello News" since the beginning of November, as part of their 75th anniversary year long celebration.

KWQC finally made the switch to GrayONE, and it's probably the best implementation of the package thus far.

I like the use of more than two colors, gives it texture. Good thing they didn't go with the all red package!

I think that Kristen Welker has improved the broadcast (Meet the Press) since she has taken over, especially the editions produced outside of the studio. My only problem is that NBC News  (or Welker) doesn't give shout outs to the venue that temporarily was home to the broadcast. I feel that this is missed opportunity to make long lasting connections to the communities that Welker goes to.

That said, I am trying to figure out where the broadcasts done out of the studio originate from.

When it originated in Iowa last week, the broadcast was done from a furniture/salvage shop in Des Moines (West End Architectural Salvage).

Today she is in Manchester, NH, in what appears to be a event venue, if anyone knows anything else, I would love to know.

New graphics used at start of tonight's WISN 10pm newscast. Nothing new after the opening package...

I would say that the L3s are definitely a little translucent now, and there is more motion in the L3s. Additionally, the diagrid seems to be blurred a bit as well Otherwise it is probably just a subtle update. The graphics certainly have aged well.

WPTA made the switch at noon (local time) today.

It is more noticeable in the NY studio that Anderson uses. Seen here on this video on cnn.com.

I might just have been lazy while watching the clip, but all that I noticed was taller L3s.

Along with the logo and graphics change, the longtime "Louisiana's News Channel" slogan also appears to have been dumped in favor of "Your #1 Local News Station".

They clearly did not know how to correctly execute the new ticker, they need to change the font color, or at least a translucent background, like all the others have done.

It'll be interesting once WPVI (Philly) gets the new graphics, especially how they'll do the long opens will "Move Closer to your World". How long have they used their current package for?

Chuck Todd was in this [WNJU] studio for Meet the Press NOW, saying that it is the "election headquarters". Seems like NBC using it for the key primaries.

I'll update this post once they post it [MTPNOW] on youtube.

First few minutes (I could only get the full thing, sorry about that) is of interest.

And yes, i did say Chuck Todd, but that's a discussion for another thread.

Hello everyone,

 

Posting on this thread not because of another newscast but because I'm looking for possible help, with our "set". We of course are always wanting to improve our product, that's why we've changed graphics, cameras, etc, 

 

One of the ways which we feel that we really haven't improved on when we should, is the set, just four white walls, a monitor, and windows, but that's kind of hard with a non-existent budget.

 

Could anyone perhaps be of assistance to see if any stations or networks (so I guess I mean the cable ones by that, has CNN completely vacated the CNN center, wonder what happened to studio 7) in our area (outside of Atlanta but of course it seems like the ATL stations won't be getting a new set anytime soon), so roughly most of Georgia, are on a temporary set or have some spare set species they would be willing to give up?

 

Thanks for any and all advice and feedback as always!

I know it's far, but WVUE in New Orleans is likely getting a new set when they move to their new building sometime in the next 12 months. Other than that you could check around at neighboring markets (it is possible that WTVM in Columbus gets a new set prior to their transition to GrayONE, but I am treading close to speculation) for future set availabilities.

They'll have live coverage the next time around too. Scripps isn't doing away with newscasts.

They're just changing the process.
They're also taking feedback into consideration from what's working and what's not.

Expect things at all stations to continue to evolve over the next year or so.

That may be true, but they can't undo the process of firing anchors, meteorologists, reporters, etc.

WAGA like other O&O's brands their 11pm newscast as "NewsEdge". Does the branding mean anything? I ask because Fox 5 News Edge at 11 doesnt seem to differ in format from typical newscasts. 

 

Confusingly News Edge is also a online new service from the Fox News Channel.

Is it like the 'scrippscast'  with a mix of national and local stories?

Wouldn't be surprised if he takes leave to help her out for a few months. Wish her the best!

Branch of from the Atlanta News first thread that eventually became about every station in Atlanta.

Before this becomes buried, and if anyone wants to reference it, here is a link:

KOLD has the GrayOne graphics and went with red.

That seems like a missed opportunity with branding, if they went with blue, it would go perfectly with their call sign, as 99% of people associate cold (KOLD) with the color blue.

Also, finally a station west of the Rockies makes the switch. (although there aren't that many in that direction anyways)

Reminds me a lot of FOX -- almost to the point where it wouldn't surprise me if one of the FOX O&O hub folks got poached to produce this.

I can only speak for Atlanta, but WAGA, a FOX O&O has been in second place in the ratings and has long been on WSB's tail for first. This might be a possibility for the similarities. Same thing to a lesser extent with Gray owned WANF/WPCH (similarities to GrayONE) although to a lesser extent.

These "diagonal boxes" on the main video monitor are new. Something similar was done on this wall before going on a report but it was with dark blue and yellow, and more flat.

Does that remind anyone else of the Hearst Diagrid?

Its about dam(insert another letter) time!!! Now if only they would get a top down upgrade of that set.

Is this thread for just anything related to news in Atlanta now? If so, we might as well change the name of the thread.

Since this thread is revived, it is worth mentioning WBRC now has eight meteorologists, albeit one primarily works on the Alabama Telemundo cluster (I am just guessing). See it for yourself: https://www.wbrc.com/page/meet-the-team/
