TheRolyPoly 3510 Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 New studio coming for WLKY-32 Currently going on: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHjK3YdUMAAlm1R.jpg:large via twitter. What it did look like here. And that's behind their newsroom, right?
jbnews 347 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Hopefully Hearst will update all it's studios now.
LexTVandRadio 420 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 Has any of the Hearst stations updated recently? I thought WLKY had a nice studio. WHAS could use an update. They've been using the same set from 2005 I think.
MidwestTV 1358 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 KMBC could really stand to have one. They've had the same set with only very, very minor refreshes to it since they went HD and moved into their new building in 2007.
qunewsguy 381 Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 Judging by the back sides of the new anchor desks it'll be another FX job... circle plexi on left, LED lightbox on right.
LexTVandRadio 420 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Posted June 19, 2015 That is what I was thinking too. Looks like a small studio too. Another shot of the old one.
susquvalleywgal 531 Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I could care less what they do with the studio ... but please, DO A NEW LOGO. -- Matt
jbnews 347 Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Yes, a new logo is needed. And rebranding. No more WLKY 32. Also, does anybody know when it will debut?
LexTVandRadio 420 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Posted June 28, 2015 Could always go back to Newschannel 32. Maybe just call themselves CBS 32. Haven't seen any updates on the set.
jbnews 347 Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 CBS 32 would be good. They should also change their open a little bit and start using the updates to Strive. This would be a good chance to freshen up a bit. Their open could be, Live from Studio (A or whatever they call it) in Louiville, this is the CBS 32 News at 5pm.
mike91 68 Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I highly doubt that they will use a "CBS 32" branding. Hearst loves to use call letters in their stations' brandings. BTW, do they even have HD news yet? It is so sad that such a reputable broadcaster such as Hearst still has quite a few stations not even doing HD news in 2015.
LexTVandRadio 420 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Posted June 29, 2015 When I lived in Louisville 2011 WLKY didn't have HD. Just "enhanced" widescreen. WHAS has the same.
MidwestTV 1358 Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 How much of a difference is there between SD and "enhanced" SD and how complicated is it to upgrade to it?
LexTVandRadio 420 Posted July 8, 2015 Author Posted July 8, 2015 Here are some shots of the new studio. https://twitter.com/ravynphoenyx/status/618889285278789632 https://twitter.com/wlkyvickidortch/status/618879708021813248
LexTVandRadio 420 Posted July 8, 2015 Author Posted July 8, 2015 More shots here. http://m.wlky.com/news/behind-the-scenes-construction-on-new-wlky-set-complete/34055190?utm_campaign=WLKY&utm_content=559d9e0404d30105c700000f&utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=trueAnthem:%2BNew%2BContent At first glance maybe they should re do the news room next.
qunewsguy 381 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 FX. The plexi "bubble top" desk is a dead giveaway.
rkolsen 1699 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 I like it. I'm not crazy at the bulge in the desk. I also wonder if they could incorporate those monitors in the newsroom like they do at WPBF.
jbnews 347 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 It's okay. It looks exactly the same as it did before. I was hoping for an actual STUDIO, not the newsroom background. It is a little nicer though.
MidwestTV 1358 Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 FX. The plexi "bubble top" desk is a dead giveaway. I dunno. Looks like it could be a Park Place set because of the hanging curved light boxes above the anchors. WCPO has those exact same looking ones. The "bubble top desk" as you describe it is also similar to KSHB. Plus, the general design of the desk, which kind of L-shaped with that far right piece sticking out, is reminiscent of KGTV.
oklahomanewsman 210 Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 If they wanted to rebrand why don't they go back to "WLKY NewsChannel 32" or just "NewsChannel 32" and oh by the way go back to using the voiceover introduction they used until WLKY dropped the "Where The News Comes First" slogan in favor of the "Live. Local. Latebreaking." slogan full time around a decade ago. "This is WLKY NewsChannel 32 Louisville. Now from the station Where The News Comes First. Your Live. Local. Late Breaking Coverage for Greater Louisville starts right now." - Chris Clausen (WLKY Intro was used from around 2000 to 2005) I could be wrong though.
