NBC 5 Chicago 191 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 So I caught the end of the 6pm and noticed that the took two of the TV monitors out of the wall behind the anchor desk. They are the ones on the ends and they inserted a blue graphics panel. Not sure if I like this and hope this is temporary. I find it odd though during sweeps.

Pavelsauce 12 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 No wonder something looked different about the video wall this morning. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12613-nbc-5-set-tweak/#findComment-81444 Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5577 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Like I said in the shout box, all 5 screens were blue during the 4:30pm and (at least most of) the 5pm shows. They could've been having problems with the camera and/or connections, or they could be playing around with the displays just for giggles. I will say though, two outermost screens having the skyline is rather pointless. When they shows up in the weather or sport anchor shots, the view of the street is angled and distorted (obviously), spoiling the illusion. Having some other element on-screen isn't a terrible idea.

Pavelsauce 12 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 If I recall correctly, the whole thing was blue at the close of the 6:00 edition (I only tune in after WLS's morning news ends).

24994J 5577 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 The 10 o'clock show is the same setup as the pic above. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/12613-nbc-5-set-tweak/#findComment-81450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1232 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 That set has been going through a metamorphosis ever since it debuted. Maybe they will change that god-awful desk next.

Spring Rubber 703 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 So the video screen started small, got bigger, then got smaller again. They just can't decide what they want. Â I will say, the video monitor taking up the entirety of the 4-person shot did look bad since the outside video wasn't in crystal clear HD (especially noticeable at night).

Jase 1047 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Just caught the 5PM newscast and everything is back to normal. Back of the blue screens for a second. They look like removable blue panels and not something digitally added in. Nevertheless, there could have just been something wrong with the monitors and nothing more. Who knows???

Just curious, what do you think it wrong with the desk. I'm indifferent towards it, mostly because I hardly watch WMAQ's newscasts. (You can guess whose newscast I watch more from my avatar.)

(You can guess whose newscast I watch more from my avatar.) It seems haphazardly thrown together with a variety of shapes. I prefer my news desks to be uniform and symmetrical.
