Alain 17 Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Today, Florida's first TV station debuted its brand new massive set along with NBC's Look F Graphics Package. These are only few of the changes after Comcast has started investing more into WTVJ and other O&Os. Check out the comprehensive montage below: [yt]qINW3muNfHU[/yt]
skbl17 188 Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 This is a fantastic makeover. I really like the cut used in the open, too. My only (small) gripe is the fact that the time/temp bug is not centered with the logo and does not stretch to the end of the HD screen. By the way, this ends the conversion of NBC O&O's from Looks A & C to Look F (plus the KARK package on KXAS).
Que 73 Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Very impressive. Nice graphics and set. Make me jealous that DFW viewers are stuck with what KXAS looks like (set and graphics), especially considering ratings slip.
Alain 17 Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 I've posted up more videos on my channel of the look. Also a new anchor joins in from WTSP, Keith Jones, to anchor South Florida Today starting Monday. [yt]MdneuYip_zw[/yt] [yt]apMNBVeliEQ[/yt]
C Block 1574 Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Ooh, I like those morning l3s. They probably shouldn't use them for the 11am news, but they look nice. The set looks great too, but I think it would look better if they toned down the dark blue lighting a bit.
jero23 105 Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Nice graphics, but it will be hard for me adjust to the new logo
1place4news 5 Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Why can't KNSD San Diego have nice things like this????
caliwxdude 255 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Why can't KNSD San Diego have nice things like this???? A major lack of space, for one...
A3N 1002 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Why can't KNSD San Diego have nice things like this???? Some day they will. Keep in mind though that they would rather (and really need) invest money on things like cameras, live trucks and adding staff than building a new set. The set will be ten years old in a few months, but I would venture out a guess that within a year or two they could get a new set. Hopefully by then, someone will be able to design a set that actually fits in the space they have. If they would move the control room somewhere else, that studio would be a lot bigger...

To add, investing in all the things mentioned above will continue to improve their product which in turn should improve ratings. And once that happens there will be justification to invest in the set.
TrustyGem 2 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 Judging from NBC 6 South florida's set design, It seems to be clickspring design's handywork from the look of it
abric 186 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 It is a Clickspring/Black Walnut job. Mostly used at all NBC O&Os.
MidwestTV 1270 Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 Absolutely amazing man! They finally have something done right. I love the music. Now this is something that they can probably keep for over ten years without it looking too old you know?
mre29 1588 Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 I've finally had a chance to watch the videos posted above. It all looks fantastic, and it actually makes me wish NBC owned WHDH up here, which is practically unwatchable in comparison. [And, yes, I know that NBC owning WHDH is extremely unlikely now that the network is owned by Comcast.]
