Weeters 1916 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 That's rediculous.. They should have just taken the money and flushed it down the toilet.. It must have been pretty bad if they are willing to destroy a set and start all over again. Pretty sad actually. NBC? Wasting money on sets and studios that never get used to their full potential? Surely you must be joking! Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/11529-wnbc-moving-to-a-new-studio/page/4/#findComment-71308 Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5577 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 That's still there? No. As much as I wasn't a huge fan of Conan's Tonight Show, that was a GORGEOUS set. If there wasn't such bad blood in the whole ordeal, it would've been nice for Leno to take that studio.

IceManNYR 240 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Why would they want to copy the WABC set? Though the WABC set is not bad the circular WCBS set makes much better use of the studio. The interview area of the WCBS set is a much nicer design. Plus the weather center is closer to the desk on WCBS compared to WABC.

Jess 1115 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 NBC? Wasting money on sets and studios that never get used to their full potential? Surely you must be joking! NBC would NEVER do something stupid like that, or say, contracting out their station promotions to an ad agency in New York that designs a generic logo that is applied to nearly every piece of station branding and then abruptly pulling the look after it launched on a single station and was days from being launched across their station group. I mean, they are way too smart to do something incredibly dumb like that...

Daybreak 288 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 So they wasted thousands of dollars on a set that we will never see. Classic, classic NBC. I know some are speculating that maybe WABC and WNBC did their design process around the same time and WABC just release there set first. But I really don't believe it was that similar and if so who cares. All sets now a days are copy cats of each others. I know NY is the number 1 market but they too have also been slacking in product for the last few years. The only set I like is WCBS. NY wasn't really that good on sets anyway because people main concern was the news content and that is missing as of today. Go back to the drawing board, build a set and remember to put the news in local news.

Jess 1115 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 While we're at it, I want to bring up something else. This style of logo has been appearing in their recent promos lately: [yt]5XtlgZoczdw[/yt] I'm absolutely dumbfounded that version is appearing on the air, because it looks horrible... and I'm certain it's violating at least two of the Acceptable Uses Of The NBC Peacock. If they're willing to dismantle a set because it's not up to snuff, then they need to tell the people at WNBC "uh, no, you can't do that to our logo".

You know, I was wondering that myself. With timing of the delay at NBC 5 and the scrapping of the set at NBC 4, I wonder if that's not what's going on. I hope that's what it is.

NetworkNewsEditor 3 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Have you seen the set before it got tossed? I did. It was nearly complete. All that needed to be done was finish the tile floor. Last time I was in 3C last week, there was a foamcore desk in place (a 'fake' desk) and not much else.
