fan of la tv 47 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 I tuned into the middle of the Saturday morning news on KABC and they were doing their newscast from their newsroom. They made no mention why they were there but I did miss the beginning where they might of mentioned. Anyone have any info?
brianpr3 178 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 heck my local station just got kabc style graphics
CircleSeven 1960 Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Yeah, they were in the newsroom this morning. And now it looks like they've move some of the 2006 set to a temporary spot (a la WLS).
Daybreak 289 Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 This is the set I've been waiting for. ABC is on the roll with the O&O's. I wonder if KGO is next because they definitely need a new set too. All of the O&O's receiving one have been deserving one.
Breaking News 835 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 So I assume WABC & WPVI won't be on the bandwagon to get new sets; however KABC, WLS, *KRTK, are in the process to get new sets. Where does WTVD, KFSN, & KGO stand at?
24994J 5619 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Speaking of KTRK, I saw some web entry stating that ABC13's new set would be done in a month, so, correct me if I'm wrong, that would mean a debut sometime this week/next weekend.
rkolsen 1685 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Yeah, they were in the newsroom this morning. And now it looks like they've move some of the 2006 set to a temporary spot (a la WLS). I'm a bit curious is that an air vent on top of the pillar to the left of the duratrans/screen? As an aside I still can't believe they make talent wear circle seven pins. I can't imagine how many holes their clothes must have.
312newswannabe 11 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 As an aside I still can't believe they make talent wear circle seven pins. I can't imagine how many holes their clothes must have. The pins are magnetic. No holes.

Kinda cool Brandi Hitt was anchoring. I don't think I've ever seen an ABC correspondent fill in at an O&O anchor desk before.
A3N 1002 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I'm a bit curious is that an air vent on top of the pillar to the left of the duratrans/screen? As an aside I still can't believe they make talent wear circle seven pins. I can't imagine how many holes their clothes must have. Probably to release some of the heat being emitted from the projection screen and the lights behind the duratrans. Not exactly the best place to put it, but it's only temporary.

I've always like those pins as a kid I wanted one. I remember WJBK & WXYZ both would have them on the anchors lapels. It seems as of NOW KABC the only station that has the pins...The pins are old school from the 70s.
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I've always like those pins as a kid I wanted one. I remember WJBK & WXYZ both would have them on the anchors lapels. It seems as of NOW KABC the only station that has the pins...The pins are old school from the 70s. Maybe from LA, but both KMGH and KUSA have pins! I like it.
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 I'm a bit curious is that an air vent on top of the pillar to the left of the duratrans/screen? They're on both sides. An aesthetic maybe?
rah6448 21 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 From my standpoint, what we're seeing could be a move stage left (to the right of the usual home base as we see it) due to work being done on that part of the set... Pictures on the old Black Walnut site would demonstrate that this is the area to the left of the update/traffic area, but I can't seem to find them. Shown above, however, is the wall to the left of the aforementioned region of the set, where the camera was set up in front of home base, yet facing to the right. This should be the backlit wall that you see in the screencaps above.
Weeters 1969 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 They're on both sides. An aesthetic maybe? They're probably just a decorative part of the set that happens to look like a vent on TV...
Eat News 4745 Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 They're on both sides. An aesthetic maybe? I bet it's for a meat smoker. What news team doesn't enjoy a hearty piece of beef or yummy flaky fish. Smokey Goodness!

BehindNYNews 147 Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 ABC going all in with new sets this fall! WABC just got one not too long ago. The current studio is pretty adjustable so they might want to consider some new backdrops. Honestly I wouldn't mind a few updates for WABC. That said, I know WPVI just updated their set but they, in my opinion, are in dire need of an all new set.
kcnewsjunky 14 Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Well I think we know who is designing them... [MEDIA=twitter]637010941901565952[/MEDIA] I could see it though.

sfomspphl 498 Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Ugh... Get ready for lots of video walls with big black lines in them, as if nothing has changed since 1994. The folks who did WFTV's set are truly innovative. Too bad they're a small upstart. Same for the WrightSet folks who did KPRC and whomever did the KENS set in San Antonio.
24994J 5619 Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Yeah, as nice as WAGA's set is, its advantage lies in its size, and not its features. The generic sets in a box rolled out at some of the Scripps stations are mediocre and cheap-looking. Back to my point about WAGA, hopefully ABC7's studio size will yield a quality product. That said, did they forget about their work in Atlanta? Also, there's no guarantee that KABC is their client. There are bound to be a few Fox stations due for a set in the top 10, and WJLA is getting a new set, as well.

dabnis74 52 Posted September 22, 2015 Posted September 22, 2015 Any update on construction and when this set might premier?
