24994J 5621 Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 There is a God. BTW, they also updated the header on the website, the peacock has shrunk and "NBC Chicago" is in a different font (different from the other O&O sites).
WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 There is a God. BTW, they also updated the header on the website, the peacock has shrunk and "NBC Chicago" is in a different font (different from the other O&O sites). Interesting. They went from Gotham to what looks like Univers and they also change the peacock itself. Using the new one from the network promo look.
24994J 5621 Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Last night I noticed a few things. In the OTS picture attached, its the first time I've seen them use the website logo on air. Also, for the 10pm news they were broadcasting from Studio 5. On Allison's facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/allisonrosati, she mentions "See you tonight from Studio 5! We are cooking up something new at the NBC Tower." Wonder what's going on? The new branding may be rolling out very soon. If you think about it, Studio 5 doesn't really have a lick of "NBC5" on it, whereas the Tower has the big logo in the back of the newsroom. All they'd need to do to Studio 5 is change the panels behind the desk and to the right of the stand-up area...for now.
15connects 4 Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Im not sure if anybody has said this yet...but when I saw the 10pm news on sunday, the lights were off in the newsroom and it looked like solid blue in the background.
Chicago News Boy 34 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 Now this im curious to see! Hopefully change is in the air
KRAP-TV 146 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Y'all deserve it! When was the last time that studio/newsroom underwent a significant redo - when they combined with Telemundo?
NBC 5 Chicago 196 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Yes! And that was back in 2003 I believe. They have done some minor updates to the tower set but nothing worth wild.
Jase 1065 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Im not sure if anybody has said this yet...but when I saw the 10pm news on sunday, the lights were off in the newsroom and it looked like solid blue in the background. So you're saying the entire newsroom is now (or could be) solid blue? If so, they tried that once before (in 1997-98). Everything was light blue and it didn't look good.

Everything was light blue and it didn't look good. That was saturday actually, but it looked like a dark blue behind her, and all you could see was the tv's that are in the newsroom. Normally on the 10pm you can see all of the (empty) desks behind them, but the newsroom lights aren't usually turned off.
NBC 5 Chicago 196 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Studio 5 again tonight... Yes Studio 5 again. And Allison posted on Facebook again... "Some wondering why we are at Studio 5 for the 10 pm show tonight. The answer... We are getting some work done at the Tower. Stay tuned... we hope you will be as excited as we are about what is happening at NBC5." I really hope they are getting a new set and not just refreshing the newsroom again.
TexasTVNews 1378 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Besides all the changes for WMAQ, the thing I want to see coming back... 615 Music's Newswire.
Jase 1065 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I really hope they are getting a new set and not just refreshing the newsroom again. My gut tells me that that's going to be the case (a re-fresh) with a new desk, new graphics of course, and a few other tweaks to the set/weather center. I really hope I am wrong...... .
NBC 5 Chicago 196 Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 NBC 5 just announced on their Facebook page that they now have a partnership with instagram. They attached this photo. I know its doctored up but I wonder if this is the finalized new logo they'll be rolling out with.
Chicago News Boy 34 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 NBC 5 just announced on their Facebook page that they now have a partnership with instagram. They attached this photo. Just saw that as well.. Hmm
Jase 1065 Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 There likely won't be any type of unveiling until the start of sweeps or on Super Bowl Sunday (the latter being the better choice). The longer the wait, the greater the chances they're probably doing some serious work to the set/newsroom overall.
Chicago News Boy 34 Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 Yeah id be fine with them just taking their time and putting together a quality studio
NBC 5 Chicago 196 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Looks like Monday is the day for the new set and hopefully new graphics as well. Allison just posted on Facebook that... "See you Monday. Look for our new set. Can't wait to take it for a ride."
jake1478 0 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 That's good news! I wonder if the morning news will be using the new set on Monday since they will probably have to make some minor adjustments to Studio 5 if they receive the logo shown on their website (or another logo).
NBC 5 Chicago 196 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 My guess is they will debute everything at 4:30pm. That's what they did when they went HD. And those newscast were in the tower instead of studio 5 as well.
jake1478 0 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Good point....they will probably do that or wait until the 10:00 newscast since that is the one most watch.
jake1478 0 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Sounds like the set will NOT debut next week. I emailed a reporter and she says that they are still working on it and that it will probably be awhile! I guess this is somewhat good news since they are making significant changes (hopefully).
Jess 1116 Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 What week is sweeps week? Thursday, February 2nd.
