KCBS/KCAL to get new set.

[MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 949]

Agreed.. Looks great, but yeah that desk front is a bit on the tacky side for an O&O

[Daybreak 289]

I feel the same way about this set as I did for both KNBC and KABC. Its not bad but it seems I always expect to be wowed but wind up being just content with the set. Its not the best but certainly not the worst. It's just an average looking set.

[brianpr3 178]

this set is nice but like ewn man and J said the front of the desk would be better with a video board

[Hexagonal10 84]

I don't see the chairs they took a while to unwrap...

[TennTV1983 807]

Like everyone else has said, the deskfront is rather underwhelming. They could've at least sprung a few extra dollars to install an LED ribbon board in place of a printed graphic.

Everybody, here's the first official picture of CBS 2 brand new news set.

 

I hope there is more to the set ... MUCH MORE.

 

If not, then I would check the shipping order from the set designers ... Maybe they got the Pittsburgh and LA orders switched at shipping.

 

KDKA > KCBS.

There is. I uploaded the entire album on the TVNT gallery.

For all it's worth, at least they're utilizing the large studio space well. They even managed to fit a small "waiting room" in there right next to the interview area.

Or it could just be a break room for anchors.

Likely a mimic of the Toyota Green Room over at CBS This Morning.

[djlynch 56]

I think part of it is the way the shots are framed with a bunch of empty floor and lighting grid that won't be visible in 16:9, but the set feels like it's up tight against the walls of a huge space. A part of me wants to pull that desk out from the wall a few more feet and do some CBS This Morning/Morning Joe-style news in the round (even though I know that it would probably mess up the camera blocking for the interview set.)�

[TexasTVNews 1378]

I'll be posting more exclusive picture of the new set and post the old news set later this evening.

[brb588 114]

Is the set finished? Where is the weather center desk? And that anchor desk with a printed graphic... definitely not befitting a station in a top market.

Lol...

Because CBS is so generous and the anchors are sooooo special they need "safe" space.

[TexasTVNews 1378]

Everybody, I'm going to have to re-upload the entire CBS 2 News Set, so please; be patient and bear with me on this.

 

UPDATE: Fresh pictures of the new set.

Sorry folks, I ran out of space to upload more on the gallery.

[SFTV 532]

LA is such an unique market.

 

KCBS didn't get the FX group sets like KPIX, WCBS, WFOR etc...

 

KNBC has a different version of the NBC O&O styled set.

 

KTTV never got the Blythe O&O set.

[NewsBuffy 18]

Everybody, here's the first official picture of CBS 2 brand new news set.

When is it going to debut? I live in Orange County and a CBS/KCAL/KNBC Viewer and I got antsy over the new NBC O&O Graphics and now extremely antsy over this.

[C Block 1566]

Tonight!

 

It looks pretty fairly decent...much better than that cavern they used to broadcast from. Though my bet is they'll drop that weird background with the rotating temperature in a month.

KCBS-CBS2 Los Angeles new set

 

[MidwestTV 1246]

I don't know what it is about BDI's sets that are so unique. Is it their expansive nature? Their thing seems to be building wide open sets with long things accentuating it. The desk is long, the monitor arrays are long, frankly the entire back wall is long. On the interview set or whatever, the couch is long, the back shelving is long...maybe I'm looking into it too much.

 

On a side note, where in the world has BDI been? Seems like they haven't done much of note recently, at least in the States. They, like FX, seemed to be quite popular back in the HD transition rush, but gradually faded.

WCBS set is designed by Jack Morgan PDG.

They've done a lot actually. Every set in LA except for KTTV's is a BDI creation. They also did KCNC's most recent set.

[NewsBuffy 18]

Actually I believe this set is better than KNBC and KABC.

[NewsBuffy 18]

That's actually a big set geez

[NewsBuffy 18]

It looks like a set the price is right would use. Haha
