MikePulse 315 Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 New graphic for the rejoin. Also noted, they updated some promos with the new studio shots. [ATTACH]1564.IPB[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfomspphl 453 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Bravo. Impressive and reaching, yet with lasting qualities. And none of the bezel monitors needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1174 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 That set is PHENOMENAL! Easily the best of the year so far, but it'll be hard to top that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 756 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 For those who are wondering: WFTV's new set was designed by a new company called Z Space Creative (formerly Studio A Designs), which was founded by two former FX Group designers. They even have a website now with some of their previous work posted: http://www.zspacecreative.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1295 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 If this is what WFTV did with the new studio, let's see if WSB will top it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That set looks like a FX Group design, but like they actually started trying to design nice stuff again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Block 1489 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 That's really interesting about FX. I was wondering who did the CNN London set. All of the sets in their portfolio do look a lot better than the usual FX fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1679 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 The only think about the set that drives me crazy is all of the etched glass with their logos on it. I assume the home base video back drop is recorded in 4K? I would think artifacts from a 1080i live shot would be magnified on a wall of this size. Also are there any planes in using the video wall as a graphical element? I wish studios here in Baltimore were this spacious. As far as I know WJZ is the only station in town where they may be able to fit so,e of this stuff in their larger studio that's used for It's Academic. I believe WBAL and WMAR converted their larger studios into office space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaking News 805 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 newscaststudio.com has some images of WFTV awesomeness set that looks good...Here hoping for WSB, WPXI and even WSOC to get that kind of massive set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSB or PXI? Maybe. Those sets are just as old; but I wouldn't count on WSOC, seeing as they got their upgrade a couple years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFTV and WSB are cash cows for COX and are very competitive, so it makes sense that COX would go all out to keep them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't WSB, WFTV along with WSOC, WHIO be many cash cows for COX and I bet KTVU was also a cash cow when they were owned by Cox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the other stations in the group make good money but they don't make the same amount of money that WSB, WFTV or before the FOX trade- KTVU. 'SB and 'FTV are the crown jewels, hence, they are treated as such. With WFTV's previous set going to TN (presumably WHBQ), it gives you a clear idea as to each station's position in the pecking order. Wouldn't be the first COX station to get a hand-me down set, If i'm not mistaken, wasn't WTAJ's set, WPXI's hand-me downs? I realize that WTAJ is no longer in the COX portfolio.

I think you mean WJAC, which received a carbon copy of WFTV's now former set (as did WPXI and to some extent KFOX before it was sold to Sinclair and merged operations with KDBC).

MikePulse 315 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 On a graphics related note; they're actually trying to key in some of their stings instead of just running them as video. A slow transition, as they're still trying to find their sea legs; the new set actually makes the graphics look better, imo.

Weather/Traffic - Traffic - That new talent rejoin - Did they have keyable graphics clips before? The messed up chroma key in the first video makes me think keying those clips might be a new thing for the control room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, when they went HD, they had a short open that was keyed into the newscast; it didn't last too long, and there was that control room switch since then (getting Ignite and all).

Amra 130 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 The set is beautiful! Now, when is Martha Sugalski supposed to start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaking News 805 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 The set is beautiful! Now, when is Martha Sugalski supposed to start? The Orlando Sentential said tomorrow August 6, we should know about Martha. I'm wondering if she going to anchor the 4pm broadcast and 10pm broadcast. Or will they move Vanessa to the 4pm news and Martha will do 5pm & 10pm on TV27. Or would Martha do 5pm &11pm on Channel 9 and Martie does 6 & 10pm. So many twist at Channel 9 in Orlando.

jbnews 344 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Well, Martha was not on at 4 or 5. But I did not see the 6pm newscast. I bet if she does go to Channel 9, she will probably fill in for Vanessa Welch while she is on maternity leave. (Or maybe, Vanessa is leaving) The speculation continues.

Breaking News 805 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Here some articles & her twitter page;so while we wait to see where she goes and wonder since Vanessa is prego...WFTV is being tight lip, but can't blame them. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment/tv/os-martha-sugalski-tv-socia-media-20150801-story.html http://www.orlandosentinel.com/signature-magazine/os-osig-martha-sugalski-job-20150720-story.html https://twitter.com/marthasugalski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1679 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Maybe I didn't watch Martha Sugalski at the right times but I don't see why she's such a big deal aside from being an anchor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
