jbnews 344 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 It looks like they are in front of a green screen. This is what their old set looked like. I am glad they are getting a new set. All the Austin stations are in need of a new one except KXAN which could last another year or two. All the other sets feel dark and have bricks on them for some reason. Austin is a big city now!

Sendir 192 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Looks like they are back on the main set. Maybe just a relighting job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggo 340 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 KVUE just modified their anchor desk a few months ago, replacing the old logo with their new one, so I wouldn't count on them getting a new set anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggo 340 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Well ... Just saw this on social ... Apparently KTBC did make some set changes, according to their morning met: [MEDIA=twitter]745791583795183617[/MEDIA] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlynch 54 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 The only change appears to be that they've replaced the "brick" wall behind the Good Day Austin couch with an extension of the skyline paneling that they use as a background for standups and various other segments. That wall and the red staircase that used to be next to it date back to the set Fox put in right after it became an O&O.

Every couple years, they'll spend some money to keep it looking new.� Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningNews 1293 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Seriously though could someone from Austin explain the brick on all of the news sets there? It's hideous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlynch 54 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 KEYE's faux-stone walls are pretty awful, I'll give you that much. KVUE's set works for the market. The rough-hewn limestone they have is the go-to around here for when you want natural materials, and the combination of limestone and medium-dark wood looks like every steakhouse or upscale BBQ joint in a hundred mile radius.

MorningNews 1293 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Ahh, I guess the brick is sort of appropriate considering the landscape and geographical makeup of Austin (hills and such). It just stood out to me as odd because that's not something our stations here in Houston have or that I've seen in Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
