CBS Mornings

[HanSolo 469]

Not surprising. A rapidly changing reality at the macro and micro levels sometimes necessitates substantial changes. By no means unique to any company or industry, just the way life goes.

They could go back to Studio 57. CBS News 24/7 has been embracing VR/AR studios anyway..

The Times Square location never made sense as they never took advantage of the location. The show could be broadcasting from a basement in Kansas for all we know. Might as well not waste money using expensive real estate if there's nothing to gain.

Exactly. I really don't understand what the point was. It must be really annoying to work at CBS News with all the cost cutting and then see them spend money on stuff like moving "CBS Mornings" (what a dumb name) to Time Square with a set that looks like it could be a green screen. 

 

Honestly, all the networks have gotten really lazy with set design. The new trend seems to be make a fake digital set and then display it on a huge screen as a background.

'Cos its cheap and network tv is on borrowed time. It will exist in some fashion, but the tv landscape is so big now, their influence has waned. All the comedies and dramas are cookie cutter and samey. So they will probably just produce sports and news soon. Lol.

Monday morning, Gayle King is scheduled to go into "space" on an eleven-minute joyride as part of a PR stunt for Jeff Bezos and his Blue Origin. CBS Mornings will have a special hour at 9 a.m. to cover "Gayle Goes To Space."

How did that go exactly?

In case you were all wondering why the fast track to get CBS out of 1515, we know now; Paramount is trying to get out of the lease so Caesars can put a casino in the building.

I don't know if this is the right topic, but...
CBS Morning News is now broadcast from Studio 47:

It's not like they can't return to 1515 Broadway since you know, the casino got killed but of course, that costs money so...

 

GMA's and Today's/Nightly News' set looks better than this hot garage.

Still better than the 2000s when they were still rocking the 1991 vintage graphics and the dark corner of the newsroom for them and Up to the Minute. For a morning newscast that had been stuck with 'last man up' at CBS O&Os during the pandemic, it's actually fine.

I don't see anything wrong with it. This is for the 7am streaming show, not the TV broadcast that airs in many markets at 4am. I think it looks nice and bright.

Keep in mind that CBS Mornings is going to be using this set soon. It's fine for the morning news but the flagship morning show?

How will CBS Mornings use this set at 7am if CBS Morning News is using it at 7am?

Hell, even NewsNation looks better.

Because "fine" wins impressions.

This is Studio 47. Mornings is moving to 57 (the former home of CBS News 24/7). They even showed a preview of the new studio on today's broadcast.

I was mistaken. This looks on par with Today's and GMA's sets.

I like it, but, I don't know, as of know, I prefer the old 57, prior to CTM leaving, more light aired, didn't feel cluttered. 

 

Interesting choice for the desk, it seems a little bulky, yet trying to be thin like the current and old CTM desks. Wonder where they made room for the green room as well, but I'll leave final judgement for Monday of course! 

 

Side note, I assume this means moving forward, election coverage will come 47. Considering it's basically a sound stage, CBS has an opportunity to basically be like South Korean stations and their election coverage, it's quite possible and I recommend anyone to do some research!

Honestly I wish CBS kept the old studio 57 set from the CBS This Morning era and just enhanced that.  I never quite understood why they felt the need to overhaul that.  This design isn't bad though.  Not sure how I feel about the "semi-virtual" look as the backdrop.

The CBS 24/7 set was so much better than this. It feels so small, flat, and cheap.

It was better to keep this here...

Too heavy on the yellow. The large screen is attempting to give an illusion of depth, but it's more uncanny instead. The floors don't match, and why would there be such a large step up?

Seems familiar

 

The new set is not the worst, not the best.

I agree that they should've probably stuck to the set below, and I wish they kept the 2012 graphics.
