Action Newsroom 1309 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 GMA has had more than 3 sets in the past 7 years while Today has had one. Its time for a new one and its about time the do it doing it The way that sounds, it sounds like GMA wasn't making up its mind, not Today.
tvnewsjunkie 9 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 I noticed in this tour of the studio during construction that the set was supposed to have sliding panels that turn into a big projection screen but that was apparently scrapped
MorningNews 1522 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 The way that sounds, it sounds like GMA wasn't making up its mind, not Today. GMA had their first real new set in 2011 when they moved most of the show upstairs, then a few months later when they moved the show mostly downstairs. Both weren't necessarily their decisions but ABC's choice not to rent out both floors full time.
danielk 0 Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 3rd hour got a new desk today, a bar table with a glass top and a white ring below with TODAY on it.
jeggleston 1 Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Here's a picture of the desk, the article I read said that they're moving to their temporary set in August. Does anyone think they'll go in the first or just sometime in August? Rockefeller center, where they had the temp set last time they got a new set, has the farmers market right there right now. Thoughts?
MidwestTV 1262 Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Here's a picture of the desk, the article I read said that they're moving to their temporary set in August. Does anyone think they'll go in the first or just sometime in August? Rockefeller center, where they had the temp set last time they got a new set, has the farmers market right there right now. Thoughts? I would imagine they would try to get the full set done before October, or the end of September too for that matter, so I suspect that yes, it'll be sometime in the first week of August so that it can be done by the end of August/beginning of September. As for where they'll be...I'm sure the farmer's market could easily be moved by then, or they'll just find somewhere else within NBC News to do the show. Perhaps the former Rock Center set?
MorningNews 1522 Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Do they still have the temporary set that they took to 2004 and 2008 Olympics? If I recall that's the one they used during the 2006 studio renovation.
jeggleston 1 Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Isnt that the same set they took to the 2012 Olympics?
jtgh922 18 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Posted August 1, 2013 I think they should use Studio 3B until1A is done. Might as well get some use out of it since Rock Center got canceled.
MidwestTV 1262 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Well the second week, but the first full week, of the month is almost done and they're still on their normal set, (for now at least). I doubt they will shift to their temporary over this weekend, but I'll be slightly surprised if they wait as long as the week of the 19th to do anything.
Action Newsroom 1309 Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 BREAKING: TVNewser has word that the new Today set will debut on SEPTEMBER 9TH. There will also be MORE NEW GRAPHICS. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/new-today-set-to-debut-september-9_b191540 Of course, for the time being, the show will broadcast from the plaza.

You beat me too it! (by a long shot too). and it's also a damn good thing about the graphics. What they have now was an absolutely horrendous update! Although, the "a lot more bells and whistles to play with" concerns me a tad bit. Plus, just a fair warning, but don't read the comments on any TVNewser article. Ever.

danielk 0 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Can anyone post the new third hour open before they change the graphics etc?
MorningNews 1522 Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 I think the whole 3rd hour format is interesting. I like Natalie and Willie together and I think the third hour can be stronger if they brand it as something different than Today's first 2 hours and the 4th hour, as they're doing.
Dk_mediaNYC 30 Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 today was todays last day in stuido 1a tomrrow they will be on the plaza until the new set was finished! can't wait to see all the new stuff!
MidwestTV 1262 Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 I'm watching them right now, and I'm thinking to myself, "Surely they have some better microphones to use so that they aren't yelling to be heard."
tvnewsjunkie 9 Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 have they been working on the set yet? During the tenth hour they started the show on the main level and it was shot today so have they started yet?
TennTV1983 810 Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 have they been working on the set yet? During the tenth hour they started the show on the main level and it was shot today so have they started yet? Hard to say what's going on with the 10:00 hour. From what I observed in the outside shots of Studio 1A, the windows on the ground level had been tarped off.
24994J 5643 Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Unless they've been discussing recent topics at the top of the show (I haven't watched in several days), I think they're just airing pre-recorded KL(G)ip Show-dasTM.
tvnewsjunkie 9 Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 i ask because when they started today's show they pointed out how it was raining today and the windows showed the sidewalk with a wet sidewalk
Weeters 1972 Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 That seems to have been a coincidence. This little behind the scenes bit was featured today. They say 1A was supposed to be done by now, then we get to go on a single shot steadicam up the two (!) staircases to the upstairs studio. http://www.today.com/klgandhoda/klg-hoda-get-locked-out-studio-1a-8C11065795 There seems to be some bad audio issues during this entire segment, which makes wonder if they didn't plan on using the upstairs studio and this was a "last minute" thing...
NBC 5 Chicago 196 Posted September 5, 2013 Posted September 5, 2013 From the post on the second page and this article says the new set is suppose to debut on September 9th. So.. I think Kathy and Hoda are a little mistaken or this was all for show to explain why they aren't in studio 1A. Which would explain the hardhats and the audio Issues could be because they are out of range. As soon as they step on the set it is fine.

Well it could be that the set was supposed to be physically done being built by now, with the remaining time to be used for rehearsals and general playing around with it, but that's not the case anymore since the set isn't "done" yet.
Nuacht 0 Posted September 6, 2013 Posted September 6, 2013 Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but might this a part of the new graphics package? http://vimeo.com/73886868
