Weeters 1811 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Depending on what they're doing, It could still be a while. They could be doing significant renovations to the newsroom itself, and that would mean building inspections and permits and work crews and all that fun stuff, and all that done before the set could start to go up.

24994J 5275 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 IF the new graphics premiere on Monday, do you guys predict they will debut in the morning or at 10PM? No offense to jake1478, but I just realized that we all went from speculating what time they'd debut the graphics to assuming the launch would be today... Oops.

Â It's unclear exactly what they're doing. I haven't seen/heard any type of casual on-air banter like 'we're building a new set' or 'can't wait for us to get back into the Tower', etc.... I'm surprised no one hasn't just threw up a couple of construction pics on their Facebook page. Â Doing any one of those things would gives us an idea of what they're doing and how long it was going to take. Everything is being done very hush hush (which is a bit unusual). Honestly, I'm tempted to peek in one of the windows to see what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops. Sorry, didn't mean to get everyone's hopes up that it would be today. My GUESS is that if they aren't today, I would assume they MAY debut next week.

Jess 1110 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Studio 5 is the normal home of the morning and noon newscasts, right? If they're keeping that, then IF we get a launch, today or any other day, they'll launch at 4:30pm. Â As for the studio rebuild, when WCAU went HD I think they were in the 10! show set for five months. (Particularly excruciating because they didn't exactly have a desk.) And while it was lonnng assumed they were going HD and Look C, they never said anything until they ran a "WE ARE GOING HD" ad - and even then they were a month away. If their studio rebuild is anything like WCAU's - like, say, turning part of the newsroom into an actual studio like they did at KNTV - then a month might even be too short a time to expect a new set to be done. Â And we can't rule out Valari Staab flying to Chicago, looking at the set, and saying "hell no you're not using that" like she did in New York. Â As for the hush-hush nature of the changes, I think that's intentional. Last year at this time stations were driving around news vans and airing promos reflecting a new look and logo that never actually materialized. I think NBC wants to avoid plastering new logo and graphic elements on the stations before they're ready. WCAU, which got the most radical logo change of any of the stations, didn't use any of it on air save for an errant segment open that was quickly corrected. It was on the web before that, yeah, but with a website header that doesn't match the on-air logo (and I'm convinced that's going to be changed soon), and a mistakenly-uploaded graphic to Facebook. When they started using it on the web in earnest, it felt like some sort of gag order was lifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake1478 0 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Very true...it is also possible they may wait until 10:00 for the graphics since the 4:30, 5, and 6 evening shows also use Studio 5. Only the 10:00 news uses the Tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the 10:00 news uses the Tower. Yeah but if they're building a new set in the tower, they aren't going to want to use that on one newscast. They'd move at least the evening shows back, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd move at least the evening shows back, that's for sure. Gosh, I'd hope so. I didn't realize they only used it at 10 pm. Â They have two great locations, windowed studio and newsroom location; once they're all fixed up they should use them to their potential! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â They have two great locations, windowed studio and newsroom location; once they're all fixed up they should use them to their potential! Namely, use Studio 5 for all the dayside shows (Morning, Noon, and 4:30PM) and the NBC Tower Studio for the nightside ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago News Boy 33 Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Lol more like next year. Their new promos are such a tease. I always think soon soon but then am disappointed everytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5275 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 They can't do anything with Studio 5 until they finish the Tower...also, they probably aren't going to get into the Tower until everything is ready to go. I'd bet alot of money that they'd switch the weather graphics before anything else. Â At this point, I won't believe anything until it actually happens.

Weeters 1811 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I doubt any parts of the WNBC set are being shipped anywhere. There wasn't much to it, from what I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 818 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I caught the tale end of a report from Carol Marin & Mary Ann Ahern (@ 4:30) from the newsroom. Half the newsroom (where the set would be) was completely dark. The newsroom was so dimly lit in fact, I'm surprised they can even work in there. Â It appeared that no work has been done to the newsroom nor was there any indication anything will be done (other than updating the logos behind the assignment desk/web center, which could have already happened). Â Hopefully, they upload the report online so I can watch it again and get a better feel of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBC 5 Chicago 164 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'll have to check my DVR when I get home. The newsroom's lighting is on dimmers and they can change the lighting. I've seen them do that during a newscast before where the whole newroom was too bright and they dimmed the lighting. My guess if the newsroom is in-tacked then they closed it off. That is probably why it's taking forever for them to get finished because they actually closed it off and are doing something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
