TennTV1983 804 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Just in time for the Olympics in Rio. Will this be an FX job, a Z Space, or a Devlin? That is the question.

I'm going to guess standard Nexstar fair. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15198-kxan-is-getting-a-new-set/#findComment-154126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhratbrat 437 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Merger hasn't been finalized yet and if I recall..its still one of the LIN/MG Flagships. If I also recall, their studios when I pass by there in Austin were not big by any stretch of the imagination.

Greggo 354 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Space is definitely going to be an issue. The building is small ... they actually have some employees housed in a building across the street. The studio in particular is tiny. Will be interesting to see what they come up with. They just remodeled their newsroom so it's kind of interesting that they aren't broadcasting from there. The temp set with the black background isn't very attractive.

djlynch 56 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 That dark background with the distorted NBC peacock on the temporary set was the background behind the desk on their main set for the last couple years before they got the set that was just decommissioned. It looked even worse when it was surrounded by light wood and sky blue on the rest of that set. I'm surprised that they aren't borrowing the Studio 512 set. Apparently, there's enough room in there to play tennis, which makes me think that it should be pretty easy to stick a table and a monitor at one end and call it a temporary news set. I find it interesting that this was actually the newest set among Austin's English-language broadcasters, but it's the one that looked the most dated. Maybe it was just a question of KTBC refreshing the technology on their set and KVUE and KEYE having old enough sets that they don't have much technology besides a plasma or two.

Big Country News 435 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I was expecting new graphics. They've had those for years, and the only things that have aged well are the opens. Austin is a market that is subar for graphics. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15198-kxan-is-getting-a-new-set/#findComment-156593 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin is a market that is subar for graphics. They actually refreshed the L3s within the past year so I wasn't counting on that, even though it would have been nice. The tweaked L3s go the full length of the screen and are blue and white instead of solid blue. Some of the graphics they are putting on the new video walls today are super cheesy. They need a template or something for standardization. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15198-kxan-is-getting-a-new-set/#findComment-156599 Share on other sites More sharing options...

[MEDIA=twitter]747623312126156801[/MEDIA] I'm guessing that the set that is being dismantled was built by FX. The blue laminate on the top is a dead giveaway. WCMH's sets have that laminate. Somebody should tell FX it looks like crap on TV. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15198-kxan-is-getting-a-new-set/#findComment-156688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
