NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 PIX is not on their main set tonight at 5, they were on the what I'd call their "sub-set", which is where the anchors usually stand to do special segments. They seemed to have moved the main desk there. If they're still in the same spot at 10, I'd say it's safe to assume they are beginning to work on a new studio (finally!)

dabx 55 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I really doubt they are building a new set in the current studio. My guess would be that they remodel what once was the old newsroom into a tv studio and put the new set. My guess them would be to upgrade/remodel the current studio - just seems logical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Kirstin Cole said new TV sets in her tweet.. That could mean talk show sets or anything.. When they got the set their on now I remeber them broadcasting from the "coffee bar" portion.. I'm assuming that's where this mini set is now.. I'm interested to see what they will get.. We'll know soon I guess. PIX11 tech in a reply to nynewscoverage on Twitter said they are installing a new set and "new technology" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nynewslover 269 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 This morning they will still on the temporary set.. Linda and Catlin were in a separate room doing the weather and traffic.. Not sure where the interviews were being done but they were in front of a what looked like big posters of the nyc skyline and a tv screen. Kori chambers also posted pictures and it's going to be a complete renovation as the set is completely bare now.. From the looks of it and they way they're talking on Twitter.. They're defiently expanding into the old newsroom. Nobody's said for sure but defiently dropping hints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking on twitter and I think that the interviews were being done to the right of where Linda and Kaitlin were doing the weather & traffic. I believe that green room is the same room that Mr. G used for the first forecast back when PIX first launched the new format (Jodi used to call it the "morning mobilecast" or something like that). But I would definitely say at this point that they are expanding into the old newsroom- Lisa said "our new expanded studio", so what else could that mean.

NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Well Tamsen is solo tonight sitting in the main studio desk. I think it must be a chroma key she's in front of however, I think the main studio is already demolished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Share Posted March 10, 2015 They moved the old homebase area and desk into a corner of the newsroom. Yeah I just realized that, it's a "temporary studio". It will be interesting to see how and where the Sports Desk is done. EDIT: Sports Desk is being done from the same desk. Makes sense.

nynewslover 269 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 The temp set up is where Jodi used to do the news. If you add pix11news on snapchat you'll see a video of the entire set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Kinda sad that their temp set looks better than the set they just demolished Yeah the one that they're doing interviews on looks pretty good (despite its tininess)- has the same theme almost that the old, old set did - I'm referring to this one: I think all in all PIX is heading back to its roots, and who knows, maybe the set will look like a refreshed version of that set. One thing a set needs in my view is uniqueness, and that's something that PIX's current set lacks, and that the old set had (I loved all the pottery, brick walls, and even the roman numeral clock that they used to have in that old set). Looking into the future, hopefully this wakes WNYW up and tells them it's time to refresh their studio. It's looking more and more dated by the minute.

nynewslover 269 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Someone asked Kaitlin Monte something like if the new set will be condo sized... She tweeted oh just wait! I guess it's gonna be pretty big.. I agree in saying that PIX is finally moving back in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I hope they use warmer colors and woods like the temp set they have.. I know they'll prob use a lot of monitors and computers but a warmer feel would be nice and new graphics again too lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 I wonder who's designing the new set- FX (I hope not!), Delvin, or the company that was mentioned in this article when the set renovation was first announced back in 2013 (Luckett & Farley): http://www.newscaststudio.com/2013/09/05/nyc-station-hires-planner-for-newsroom-overhaul/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1678 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 From pix11tech's twitter feed the new newsroom looks very nice and spacious. It also appears they all got new Mac computers. https://twitter.com/pix11tech/status/571444520241528832 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Craig Allen actually posted a full view of PIX's set deconstruction over on his facebook page, I'll insert them here since you have have a facebook account to view his pics. I have to say it certainly looks like they're adding more of a wood theme to the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Newsroom 1150 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Looks really nice. I'm very eager for this new set to debut. Usually I'm excited for a station to build, install, turn on and use a set, but this time, I'm really excited for a set to debut soon. And these pictures raise them. My expectations are usually in the middle, but for this, it's up just a little. Please make us happy, WPIX. Also, wasn't that set used during the Jodi Applegate era of 2010? Parts of it really look like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
