alex979 118 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I like where this is going. [MEDIA=twitter]658012426617667584[/MEDIA] Not sure where this is, though. Is Karen taking this photo from the anchor desk, or is the desk sort of on the other side of that wall next to Phil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5327 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 It almost seems like that's the view from the desk, and if it is, I don't think I'm going to be thrilled with the desk. It seems fairly small-ish. Yes, the old desk was pretty large, but I would've hoped there would have been a more happy medium. That said, I told myself I was going to be a good boy and reserve all judgments until some yet-to-be-determined time between 6 and 7pm. I do, however, like the color scheme and the skyline behind the anchors should look pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5327 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 One thing to note, though. The 'Eyewitness News' graphic on the far back wall appears to be on a different skyline background, one that doesn't match the weekend 6pm open or the generic studio monitor logo.

24994J 5327 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Phil Schwarz, for the win. I like the wood accents, I'm glad the desk is big enough, and I'm kinda digging the large logo on the desk becoming a thing with the ABC stations. I don't know how to feel about the flipped weather and sports anchors, though. [MEDIA=twitter]658030847044419584[/MEDIA] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely different which means they tweaked the look a little too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex979 118 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 So the desk is in the corner, where the weather center used to be? The new weather center seems much smaller. I'm curious to see what's over on the other side. The anchor desk looks fantastic, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1945 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I just remembered that WLS debuted their current graphics on a Saturday, 5pm newscast, the week before Halloween. The graphics debut was on their 6pm broadcast, almost two years ago (10/26/13). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex979 118 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 It looks like there's a little stand up area in the corner, behind Dionne. They have a camera over there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where the weather center once was. It's now a stand up area and where a touch screen monitor is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Newsroom 1158 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I think I love this set. The metal and wood placements and tones are amazing and mesh very well together. the lighting is great, the video screen is brilliant (in size and usage) and the weather center is surprisingly great when utilized. When looking at the pictures first revealing the new set, I wasn't a fan of the main desk, because of the dull, plain look of it and basic look of the station's logo, but it does look slightly better when shown on air . I'll get used to it more as time with it passes. Overall, this new set is definitely worth the long wait. Congrats to Jack Morton/PDG for the look and to WLS for the new get. This will definitely last several years and will not age terribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Rubber 623 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I'm mad at myself for totally forgetting about this set debut tonight even though the hints have been there since last night. At any rate, it looks pretty cool. I like the feel of it. I can't wait to see what else is over to the left side of the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 848 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Good design decisions were made here (moving the weather center and building around the dead space (I.e..the view of the 'hallway to nowhere,' etc...). If I had to nitpick....not liking the logo on the desk and unless part of the video wall is movable, I don't like the general idea that part of the set is blocked in (see pic #1 above this post). I'll hold off final judgement until they show off more stuff and I see the set in person. Great job overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex979 118 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Ummmm.... Ravi is leading of the 10pm from the newsroom by himself. Already a problem in the new State Street studio? Or maybe others are doing rehearsals down there? This is very strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5327 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Share Posted October 25, 2015 Yeah, I'm sitting in the middle of Milwaukee, checking in on my phone to find Ravi in the newsroom. That's odd, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
