24994J 5276 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Any other time we could throw out the 'lipstick on a pig' argument, but I think we can all agree that the WPIX studio and such is a big part of their problem. It's a start, but there's still a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PIXfan 34 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 This is great news. The set/studio has been a HUGE part of the problem. Hopefully Channel 11 will have its act together by 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper4 36 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 So we'll have to wait until June/July 2014 until we see a change. That's a long wait. Unless they start first with the anchor desk. Hopefully, it will look more like KTLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabceyewitness 767 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Hope the new studio and newsroom also comes with new staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leavellebrett 85 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 WJAC got the SAME studio around 2011. It was a major improvement for WJAC. Frankly, I really like WPXI's studio. It's simple, but impressive... maybe not for Pittsburgh, but I still like it. I'm excited to see how the new one will look, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1944 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 WPIX. New York. Eleven, Eleven AALLLLLLLLLLIVE!!! LOL. Okay this is going no where. At one point, I thought 24994J was imitating Ralph Lowenstein. Okay, back on topic. If they would've never got rid of , and brought Bill Carey to the fold, and messed with the talent at the time, we probably would not be talking about how awful they are now. I swear it. They've basically handed most of their chips to Fox 5. So even if they get their new set done, it's going to take a miracle to get their content straight, so they can get their viewers again. But it will be a very hard sell pulling folks away, as Fox 5 continues to clobber their asses. Larry Wert needs to go to Channel 11 and do his homework and find a proper GM & ND to run the station, and get somebody that won't half-ass any thing. We don't need no more jokes running it further to the ground. But like I said, it's going to take a miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5276 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Dead serious...am I missing something? Did I make an unintentional reference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1944 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Dead serious...am I missing something? Did I make an unintentional reference? Listen to the #2 of MCTYW on NMSA. That's what I was referring to. The one that said the ID before the open. When you posted "WPIX. New York, I'd immediately thought of that ID. I knew you meant that the other poster confused himself with that Pittsburgh station, which happens to have similar calls and same channel number and a nearly similar Circle 11 logo. So no harm done. I hope that doesn't confuse you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compubit 670 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Watching the link above regarding the old WPIX set, referenced the WB to CW video: Anyway, at the start of the new "CW11 News at 10", to quote the anchor: "... but one thing will remain the same. The award winning newscast you've come to know and trust like this one..." Obviously they changed! J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J That's what I'd said before, it they would've never got rid of that set that quick, and meddle with the talent, we would've probably not be talking about their offsprings. I had a bad feeling, when they changed that set to a more smaller looking thing, it would lead to many problems. And to tell you the truth, that one was their best set, truth be told. That new (current) set looked like it was cookie-cluttered. I never did liked that to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Seems the studio remodel is going at the same pace as Linda moving to weekends. Is their any confirmed report of Linda moving to weekends? Or was that just speculation? I know there was a confirmed report that WPIX will be getting a new studio, but no article of Linda moving to weekends. If she does move to weekends, I hope that doesn't lead to the termination of Craig Allen. He's one of the most accurate forecasters. I hope he takes Mr. G's spot if Linda moves to weekends.

NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Finally there's indications that WPIX is finally redoing their studio. First of all, as one TVNT member noted, the anchors were either standing up or at a different desk this AM. Also, Tamsen and Scott are back at the regular desk at 5pm tonight, but no real changes. However, you can hear a bit of an echo in the studio, or you can tell by the tone quality of the voice that the studio seems empty. Also, you can tell that they are very cluttered together at the main desk. Finally some encouraging news. Now in the article, it says 'no word yet if WPIX plans on overhauling their set'. The article also says that WPIX will redo portions of the 2nd floor of the daily news building. So if they are going to redo the floor, I guess that means they will also redo their set. Or Let's hope. And that tweet Richard Graziano or Tamsen Fadal (according to Jerry Barmash's recent article, Tamsen controls Richard's account) sent out to NYNewsObserver was encouraging, with a 'hmmmm' and a icon.

Action Newsroom 1150 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I hope the set looks really nice. My expectations are low. If anyone says "It's not enough", though, I'm done. I'm really done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeters 1811 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I found another pic on their instagram page revealing the construction going on in the newsroom: http://instagram.com/p/n8staQLXDR/ I'm pretty sure that was taken at WCBS 880... the only thing visible is a column and ductwork that matches what is seen here: http://www.vthreestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/WCBS_09_12_02.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'm pretty sure that was taken at WCBS 880... the only thing visible is a column and ductwork that matches what is seen here: http://www.vthreestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/WCBS_09_12_02.jpg Yeah I realized that was actually the wrong link, but I think that picture that I gave you was from WCBS FM? I don't know if WCBS 880 and WCBS FM share the same newsroom, but I know Mr. G works at WCBS FM, not WCBS 880. Anyways, back on topic. I think this link should work (http://instagram.com/p/n832ZRLXEn/). If it doesn't then just scroll around their instagram page (http://instagram.com/pix11news) and find the picture with Mr. G standing next to the weather producer or whoever that is (Maybe the infamous Andrew Cruise he always mentions on air?) Anyway, you can see the construction being done in the back of the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
