trey 0 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Surprisingly - WOAI-TV, San Antonio's Clear Channel owned NBC affiliate will be getting a new set....... I've been told the new set will premier on Monday - December 18th. Here are some screen caps of their temporary set...which is not all that bad actually Old set... I've got caps of KABB-TV's new set coming up tomorrow. I've been meaning to post them for a while now..the new set premiered last month..haha.

HoustonTVNews 0 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I've got caps of KABB-TV's new set coming up tomorrow. I've been meaning to post them for a while now..the new set premiered last month..haha. Oh no, don't tell me they got rid of that little table from the morning show! Looking forward to seeing both, though I can pretty much guess what KABB's gotten. Even WGME here picked up a smallish and stripped-down version of the standard Sinclair set earlier this year. It seems to be used for health/lifestyle reports primarily though... WOAI's temp desk at least is pretty nice. I've seen some places opt for some similar looking desks from Staples/Office Depot, etc... Kinda reminds me of that, but maybe this desk is a component of the new set? Just a thought.

StormTrack8000 0 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I am anxious to see what the new KABB set looks like.. I have seen the old one...didn't look to great. I don't think that WOAI's set now looks that bad. How long have they had it?

HoustonTVNews 0 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I don't think that WOAI's set now looks that bad. How long have they had it? I think it came out in the late 90's, '97 or '98 maybe? The original version had the stacked 3D skyline in several layers w/ neon lights and everything... I think that was gone by the time they'd made the switch to WOAI.

MikePulse 318 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Looks decent for a temp... but that background is just too plain! Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/133-woai-tv-to-get-a-new-set/#findComment-922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trey 0 Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 The glass desk was used often for their 10:00 newscast and for their weekly sports show. They simply put the glass desk in front of the old set and dimmed the lights. It wouldn't surprise me if they used the desk in some way with their new set.... All im hoping for is for some new graphics with the new set. ANYTHING would be an improvement.

Al-SA-TX 54 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 But WOAI Just received new graphics, I doubt they'll relaunch the graphics but I am happy that there getting a new set...its about time IMO...Two out of the Four [english] stations have changed in San Antonio...and I thought I read somewhere that KSAT was getting a new set too sometime, but I could be wrong :/.

Al-SA-TX 54 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 WOAI certainly did get a new set...however I'm not sure how to describe it. It has like a blue pillar looking...again I suck at describing lol.

trey 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 Yepp - WOAI did get a nice, new set today. No new graphics though. I like the set. Its a bit plain, but its nice and simple. Big improvement over their previous set. As for KSAT - yes a new set is in the works. Soon. NEW SET I had my video recorder set to record the 5:00 show, but it didn't record it for some reason. Hopefully they will show off the set more at 10:00 or in the morning. Nothing really was said about the set on-air...hmm.

StormTrack8000 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I like it, it's nice, plain, and simple. It'd be nice if maybe they had a few monitors around with the logo//but it's nice Thanks for the pics 8) (Do you happen to have any pictures of the previous set) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/133-woai-tv-to-get-a-new-set/#findComment-1488 Share on other sites More sharing options...

trey 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 I'm a producer there. They haven't told us how soon....just that it is in the works. The current set is a giant pain in the ass....so anything will be an improvement.

Al-SA-TX 54 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Oh how kool! Although I like the current set, I like seeing changes, can't wait till it launches! =)...and is WOAI expected to get another graphics change?? They just recieved them like a while back in the summer. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/133-woai-tv-to-get-a-new-set/#findComment-1491 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wfaa8fan Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Well, by the looks, it seems WOAI is really toning down its news operation. They dumped the "bright" Hothaus graphics and got this set with more "easy-going" colors. I like the new set, the desk is nice.

If not, I'm really jealous! ;D Otherwise, a nice set improvement to WOAI.

Al-SA-TX 54 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 I always believed KSAT had their studio in front of the main area like where the computers are...but now that I think of it I never see people back there haha. so it may be a chroma wall.

trey 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 A couple more... And yes, KSAT's set is keyed on a giant chromakey wall. The anchor desk is real, as is the secondary stand up set and the interview set. The weather "set" and both sports "sets" are also fake. The set isn't as versatile as it was supposed to be. It requires a lot of different elements to make it work as it should. Like they say, if something can go wrong, it usually does.

Al-SA-TX 54 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 yea...I remember watching a video on youtube when KSAT was struck with lightning on air I think it was 1999 or 1998...but I don't think it was chroma keyed then, was it?

Yep. this is definetely an actual set behind them. The set was nice, but a little out of touch: (BTW here's the video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7-X1SgjItc Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/133-woai-tv-to-get-a-new-set/#findComment-1570 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting video. I remember back as a kid, probably 1990 or 1991, WFIE-14-Evansville was struck by lightening right in the middle of the weather report on the 6:00 Saturday news. I think it was their doppler dome, located in the parking lot at the top of Mt. Auburn Road, that was struck. They were off the air for about an hour, I think.

Al-SA-TX 54 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 hmm interesting...KSAT only took a couple of minutes and they were back on air...I believe KSAT's Audio Board was struck (but KSAT Lights went out as well... they went off air...back on air and the TV Monitors in the back were off, then back off air...then back on air and the Monitors were on) I believed they used temp wireless mics.
