C Block 1488 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Granite, WABC never had the best sets but a good news team. I've actually always preferred Gabbro to Granite as my favorite igneous rock formation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rah6448 21 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 So as of today, it's been three weeks since the tear-down of the old set...anyone hear anything about the new one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshow 163 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 NEW SET! Supposed to make it its debut on Wednesday. It sort of reminds me of WABC's. I like it though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasTVNews 1366 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 If that new set is design by FX Group, I'm going to get REAL excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 It reminds me a little bit of channel 7s.. I can't tell from the pic.. Is that a RP behind them? I'm assuming it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Newsroom 1150 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 (Angel voice) AAAAAHHHHHH. That set is...WOOOWWWW!!!! I think I really like it from the moment I first time I saw it. This should blow WABC's set out of the water...or the lake, because their set is still magnificent. Now awaiting WNBC's set and (fingers crossed) WPIX's set.

Daybreak 269 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 That is what I call a nice set. The only thing WABC have over them is that it on ground level but I like the desk a whole lot better. I really like WABC weather center but WCBS set is more together than spread out like WABC.

Jess 1110 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 ....why is the CBS 2 logo boxed? That's really really bugging me about this set, which I need to see more of before I say "Best Set In New York". That and it really shows the whole "house style" Peter Dunn seems to be addicted to.

lazynetjunkie 34 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Alot of WBBM elements in the set.. The box around the logo, the abstract CBS logo art above the backdrop, the weather center desk.. Looks like quite a bit was based off the portable desks/stands WBBM has. Is that a fake room backdrop I see behind the fogged window panels in the photo of the anchors? Definitely WBBM. That light blue rectangular panel on the far right of the photo of the anchors standing is definitely a WBBM set graphic.. For some reason, I'm not feeling this set is a FX Group. It doesn't seem to have that "cheapness" FX Group sets usually have.. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNews 54 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Looks nice, not overdone like WABC's set. I wonder if there's going to be a logo change in the graphics as well to adopt the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rah6448 21 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I'm calling it....this set was designed by Jack Morton/PDG, at least that's my educated opinion. I based this upon analysis of design traits shared commonly between WCBS's new set and several others by PDG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This design is not on par with anything else FX has done lately. It's not orange, for one thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rah6448 21 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Thank you! I'm also willing to say the same of KPIX's set due to the design elements I see there, notably the second screenshot from NewscastStudio's SetStudio, where the curved partitions and wall construction remind me of WBBM: http://www.newscaststudio.com/setstudio/kpix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvknowledge 5 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 More on the new set debuting this week http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv/2011/10/18/2011-10-18_wcbs_tries_to_bridge_news_and_informationgathering_power_of_local_channels_and_s.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Block 1488 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 The most surprising thing in that link isn't the picture of the set, but the fact that CBS wants to launch their own competitor to the NBC Nonstop concept? News to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abric 157 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 So WCBS is this Thursday at noon and PIX is on Friday October 28. I can't to see them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
