MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 748 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Agreed.. Looks great, but yeah that desk front is a bit on the tacky side for an O&O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daybreak 269 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 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 173 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 this set is nice but like ewn man and J said the front of the desk would be better with a video board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennTV1983 743 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susquvalleywgal 494 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Everybody, here's the first official picture of CBS 2 brand new news set. Â I hope there is more to the set ... MUCH MORE. Â If not, then I would check the shipping order from the set designers ... Maybe they got the Pittsburgh and LA orders switched at shipping. Â KDKA > KCBS.

TexasTVNews 1366 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 There is. I uploaded the entire album on the TVNT gallery. http://forums.tvnewstalk.net/index.php?media/albums/kcbs-tv-los-angeles-ca.83/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 743 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djlynch 54 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 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.)� Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brb588 85 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4738 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Or it could just be a break room for anchors. Â Lol... Because CBS is so generous and the anchors are sooooo special they need "safe" space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFTV 484 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 LA is such an unique market. Â KCBS didn't get the FX group sets like KPIX, WCBS, WFOR etc... Â KNBC has a different version of the NBC O&O styled set. Â KTTV never got the Blythe O&O set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewsBuffy 18 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Block 1488 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Tonight! Â 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidwestTV 1173 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 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. Â 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.

They also did KCNC's most recent set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
