NBC chicago changes?

Maybe they will show the new set after the Super Bowl. Rob and Allison said earlier that they would be there after the Super Bowl.

[NBC 5 Chicago 196]

Seems like Sunday is the day. Rob and Allison said they will be there and they have a special report too. Definitly trying to rein in on the viewership!!

They just ran a weather promo using the new graphics and logo...the shiny network peacock is more subdued, and the weather dept. is now billed as the "NBC5 Storm Team".

[jake1478 0]

Knew it! And I haven't seen the new promo, but they have been using the "NBC 5 Storm Team" for a couple weeks now.

Here is the weather promo you guys are talking about

I also caught this jem while going into the second commercial break during last nights news

This has to be one of the best promo's I've seen from them!!

[24994J 5621]

Yay.

Teases are using the "old" graphics.

[24994J 5621]

Let's see...it's 10:13 and the news preview just aired. So what do we have?

• Super Bowl done, Voice almost over
  
• Rob and Allison are in place
  
• The studio's lit, the graphics are on the screen, the theme music playing
  

So what's the problem? Their in Studio 5 with Look A and Tower V.1 in use. Unless they run over the NBC Tower in 15 minutes, no changes tonight.

Bummer.

 

Update (10:23):

They couldn't run fast enough. :bang:

[Weeters 1969]

Not tonight.

Wasted opportunity. I wonder what the hold up is?

[rah6448 21]

I don't know...maybe the earlier thoughts about Monday might be correct...

[bill875 0]

Grrr. I keep tuning in to missed opportunities via my Slingbox Pro-HD back in Chicago as I'm now living in crap market WCNC (upconverted SD) hell... Charlotte, NC. I don't miss hearing about Pat Quinn and Rahm though. What a cluster.

No way they have as big an audience tomorrow as they have tonight. Dumb move to wait if everything is ready to go. Who knows what's going on....

Ha ha ha I was thinking the same!! Either they will wait till tomorrow and switch or they are really overhauling the tower set and need more time. Funny thing though, they have been airing all the new promos with the new logo.

 

And Brant is finally at the green screen after more than 2 months sitting at the desk due to a broken leg.

[24994J 5621]

Well, there is one bit of good news, Brant Miller's finally recovered from the broken leg. He's back in front of the green screen.

 

@NBC 5 Chicago: you just beat me to it

New Unit 5 Intro..using new logo

New Unit 5 Intro..using new logo

Yeah, they've only used it a few times since Unit 5 returned...speaking of which, here's a blast from the past-

[Chicago News Boy 34]

I had a gut feeling this was going to happen. Nbc 5 what are you doing? You guys are a bunch of idiots and thanks to allison rosati who has given us to wrong dates ugh.

[bammy9 26]

Let's just hope they debut the new graphics sometime this month. :-o

[24994J 5621]

If nothing happens tonight at 10pm, I'll see if I can email as a "concerned viewer" and see what's up. It'll probably be a lost cause, but what the heck...it couldn't hurt.

The worst they could say is nothing.

[15connects 4]

It appears the new set/gfx won't appear tonight...I believe they record the teases for the 10pm, at least the ones until 9:45 after the six o'clock, but the tease used the old graphics.

[24994J 5621]

Yeah, I give up...I'll check back in with Channel 5 in a couple months and be pleasantly surprised when I see that they're only using a basic, half-assed, creativity-at-a-bare-minimum version of Look F and say to myself "ah, good for them". And then I'll put Channel 7 back on.

:rant:

Goodnight, everybody...

Has NBC 5 gotten a new desk recently? Watching the Superbowl, I was wondering if the desk Bob Costas was sitting at possibly being used in Indy is targeted for NBC 5? One of the hints (to me) of it being repurposed after the game is that during game coverage, there were 3 people at the desk (when I saw people sitting at it), but the are 4 in-desk monitors (if you look closely) - more appropriate for a local newscast?

 

Thoughts?

I would think they would more likely use it for the Olympics, but I could be wrong.
