jeggleston 1 Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 Just saw on the daily 11 at 7 that WXIA will be getting the new gannett graphics as well as a new set.
skbl17 188 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 The (late) 11PM newscast just finished. Yep, WXIA/WATL has indeed confirmed a new set and is currently on a temporary set (so much blue). Let the speculation begin!
jeggleston 1 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Posted January 6, 2013 Here are 2 screen grabs of the Temp. set.
10Viewer 338 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Wonder if any other Gannett stations might see set changes?
TennTV1983 807 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 How long did their previous set last? Their Jack Morton/PDG and blackwalnut set had been around since WXIA first went HD. It was modified a bit when they moved the entire set from their old studio near WSB to their current space in WATL's building (after Gannett purchased the station outright).
jeggleston 1 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Posted January 7, 2013 Original set was debuted February 2, 2006 But they moved the set to WATL on July 27, 2008
jero23 105 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 I can only hope that they introduce a more unique look for the "11 Alive" branding like they did with the previous graphic package.
jeggleston 1 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 Here is a video Mike Francis (Chief Meteorologist) posted. To his left is where the old studio wall was. which had a window overlooking the newsroom. Any Thoughts? http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/834/capture6969.png/
skbl17 188 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 The set is confirmed to launch in February. Per the ticker in the morning: "11ALIVE NEWS IS ON A TEMPORARY SET WHILE WE RENOVATE OUR LOOK...THE NEW SET LAUNCHES IN FEBRUARY." (Hey, has a station ever gone back to a previous graphics package before?)

jeggleston 1 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Posted January 12, 2013 Heres what the set looked like today as of 4 PM from Mike Francis's Facebook Page. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=479219755457156&set=pb.352902198088913.-2207520000.1357954954&type=3&theater
sfomspphl 498 Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Looks like the skyline will be a prominent part of it http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=480917001954098&set=pb.352902198088913.-2207520000.1358348846&type=3&theater
TennTV1983 807 Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 The place is starting to look very nice right now: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=481840361861762&set=pb.352902198088913.-2207520000.1358485082&type=3&theater
skbl17 188 Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Looks like the new weather wall was installed today. The wall looks pretty nice! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=482151738497291&set=a.371741999538266.80663.352902198088913&type=1 (Still hate the WIZ though.)
sfomspphl 498 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 The new graphics start Tuesday at noon http://www.11alive.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=274112 I think they're keeping him from showing the main part of the set...but more weather area pics http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=484936034885528&set=pb.352902198088913.-2207520000.1359424738&type=3&theater http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=486502618062203&set=pb.352902198088913.-2207520000.1359424738&type=3&theater
KRAP-TV 146 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I know it's only a matter of time, but is there any news on the progress of the new set?
skbl17 188 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 No new progress, but it's done! The set premiered yesterday at noon. They even donated the 2006 set to a northeast Georgia high school. I haven't been able to see much, though.
KRAP-TV 146 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Cool. I'm not finding much in terms of pictures and videos of the new set, but it's early. Looks decent from the few shots of it I've seen...
MidwestTV 1240 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 does WXIA stream their newscasts? i would love to see it live, and I highly doubt that they'll post any photos of it online, nor a video about the process. (I hate it when stations do that)
sfomspphl 498 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 They are streaming right now http://www.11alive.com/video/breakingvideo.aspx So far haven't seen anyone at a desk. Wonder if that's behind one of the partitions.
sfomspphl 498 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Here's the story on the high school getting the old set http://www.11alive.com/video/2080470148001/1/Old-11Alive-News-set-finds-new-home Frankly they did a nice job with their own chromakey set before
Weeters 1969 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Here's the story on the high school getting the old set http://www.11alive.com/video/2080470148001/1/Old-11Alive-News-set-finds-new-home Frankly they did a nice job with their own chromakey set before The chromakey set is from a TriCaster. I always like to see old sets go off to schools. I wish more stations did it, a lot of them seem content with just shoving old pieces into a prop closet. I've heard reports of some stations in town having old desks from the 1980's still crammed in a store room.
KRAP-TV 146 Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 The more I see, the less I like. The new set is...new. And that's about the best thing I can say for it right now. Why is the skyline in the background blurred to the point of being completely obscured? And there are a number of blank wall surfaces? It's not ugly, but seems terribly sterile. When 11 started work on the new set, I was really hoping it would be a Clickpring job. This looks like it was inspired by Clickspring but done in-house. Does anyone know who designed this set?

(I hate it when stations do that) Yes, they do on their iPad app, but it's really hit and miss as if you can see it on their website. I know normally the Noon is streamed online.
