tw-804 190 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 WWBT, the NBC affiliate here in Richmond, is getting a new set. The set - that's been around since the mid-2000's - was torn down yesterday. In the next few weeks, both NBC12 news and the CW News at 6:30pm (on sister station WUPV) will be using the studio that's used for WRLH's "Fox News at Ten" and the "Fox Richmond Morning News" (WRLH's set is in the same building; in case you didn't know, WWBT entered a news share agreement with WRLH back in 1994) until WWBT's brand-new studio is finished. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1057106467633787 http://www.nbc12.com/story/29752788/nbc12-studio-gets-a-make-over [MEDIA=twitter]631056071273127936[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=twitter]630812148952920064[/MEDIA] EDIT: Whoops, I put it in the wrong thread. My apologies. Can anyone move it, please? UPDATE: Thank you so much for moving it to the correct thread, admins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Can they possibly get a new logo while they're at it, or at the very least, a new font for the 12? What are they using for it, arial black? I want to know who the hell thought that looked good! Easily one of the most annoying logos to me in local television.

mike91 66 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I'm assuming we'll get something along the lines of what WBTV, WVUE and WAFB just got as well as the new graphics. But this is LOOOOOOONG overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current incarnation of the logo has been around since 2000. I can't see that going away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That '12' font is horrendous and, in my opinion, needs to change. It just doesn't look good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5276 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 It's much closer to crappy than classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised they didn't want to just use comic sans. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tw-804 190 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Here's a few of their ads promoting the new look. Three of them reminds me of the Gannett ads with anchors/reporters from whatever station removing the old graphics... Here's one with anchor Curt Autry using a roller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm_9atisuQs ...and another one where he's using a saw to cut the old graphics in half... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBnSSasNTEs ...and the third one where he's deleting the old graphics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zUwWjy-9Is Here's one 30-sec ad featuring the set demolition... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JwiETInQKc ...and one with morning/noon meteorologist Andrew Freiden and anchor/reporter Sarah Bloom using forklifts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq0lFzvMeGo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
