morningnewsexecutive 1 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 There won’t be a “Meet the Press” next Sunday because of the Ryder Cup, but on yesterday’s show Chuck Todd announced, “With a bit of luck, we’re going to have a shiny new set,” when the show returns Oct. 5. (TvNewser) I can't wait to see the new set! Its a rather quick turnaround though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Newsroom 1151 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Isn't this set like 2+ years old? When has it first been on air Why does there need to be a new one? I thought the last one can maintain a few more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the last one can maintain a few more years. That set is about 4 years old. Maybe they're planning on maybe repurposing it for something else. Perhaps WRC might move in there after a refresh of things like WNBC with the old Nightly studio. I do agree it's way too early to rip it up.

A3N 996 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Must be nice to throw money away like that. Does Comcast not say anything when perfectly good sets get replaced at NBC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1812 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Must be nice to throw money away like that. Does Comcast not say anything when perfectly good sets get replaced at NBC? As long as NBC can convince the top brass that it's good for profits (i.e. "Completely overhauling the look of the show will bring in viewers/ratings/precious ad dollars!!") they can pretty much do whatever they want.

morningnewsexecutive 1 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 I still haven't figured out how they plan on doing a set in less than two weeks, when normally it takes months. Interested to see the final result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthanR 3 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Here in Europe sets can get place in days. - The new Antena3 Noticias set was installed overnight - Good Morning Britain's set in less than a week - ITV's Lorraine set in a weekend - Loose Women in two days It's only when they do back end work that it takes longer.

rkolsen 1679 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I still haven't figured out how they plan on doing a set in less than two weeks, when normally it takes months. Interested to see the final result. I would think it can be done quickly. I almost think they will keep the rear projection elements the same and maybe the bookcases but change the desk and other stuff. The Nightly News reconfiguration was done in less than a week and that included moving the former background wall to a different part of the studio. MSNBC when they expanded studio 3K (half of the studio was the virtual studio for elections) they took about a week. Then during the Sochi Olympics they stripped the studio of its bookshelves, redid the floors, changed the wooden finishes to metal in about a week and a half. Here in Europe sets can get place in days. - The new Antena3 Noticias set was installed overnight - Good Morning Britain's set in less than a week - ITV's Lorraine set in a weekend - Loose Women in two days It's only when they do back end work that it takes longer. You are so right. My local station of preference when they did their HD conversion, they were out of their studio for six months. Then again they decided to do everything in one fall swoop included all new infrastructure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe the set refresh was done overnight, but when Antena 3 first installed their set in 2011, they were in a temporary setup for over 3 months. It took that long because they completely remodeled the floor that houses the set and newsroom. Previously, the news set sat above an open newsroom and when the new set debuted, it was in the middle of the newsroom. This most recent refresh included a much smaller plexiglass desk, some gray graphics/branding on the platform where the desk is situated at and an LED banner that goes above the gigantic screen and around the set.

rkolsen 1679 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Do you have pics or video of those sets, because that sounds interesting. It was WBAL. They broadcasted from a recently converted studio to newsroom. They used a two anchor desk (that's still used) that had a plasma screen that could pop up and block out the desk behind it. The desk is the same style that's currently used at WCVB. They then had these two three feet wide but 15 feet tall dura tran like material that could be raised when they wanted to block out the activity in the back. Weather & Sports used a chroma key studio. was done in They used the temporary set from mid May 2008 - Janaury 2, 2009. Here's a YouTube video showing the temporary set. [yt]r8JknVueWaA[/yt] Here's the after. They actually built a completely separate system from scratch so they didn't have to say change the router in one night. It was a new build so they didn't have to deal with engineering scar tissue (old wires and the like). Once it was off the air they removed the old systems.

I know (the very biased) Telediario on La1 took a week to get installed, and the Espejo Publico updates on A3 didn't take too long either. But then although I live in Spain I can't watch Spanish news for the fact it's so biased towards the party in power, one of the reasons I don't want the BBC either.

rkolsen 1679 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 It looks like a cheaper version of the old one really. They did leave the structural elements in place. But this studio looks like it could be the political junkies den of The Today Show house - where they seem to be styled the same way. I also like how the long rectangular element with the logo on the round table's desk looks like the one on WRC's new desk. Also I just realized the old Meet The Press studio was more inline with msnbc's studio 3K aesthetic wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkolsen 1679 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Today the broadcast the show from NY from 3B. They moved out the nightly news desk and put in this square glass top table where it's base was made up of 12 stars stacked on top of one another curving slightly and painted red, white and blue. It looked pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5280 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Okay, so that will be the election set. Makes sense. Quick question...what's now in the old FNIA/election studio? Seth Meyers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Newsroom 1151 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Quick question...what's now in the old FNIA/election studio? Seth Meyers? Yes. Seth Meyers' Late Night set is taking space at 8G, next to his old stomping ground of SNL at 8H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
