LOWERCASE GUY 280 Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 First WDRB, Then WLKY, now WAVE -TV is in line to get a new set. This is the 3rd station in 3 years in Louisville.....THIS was on WAVE 3's Instagram page. For the love of God, PLEASE someone fork out money to get WHAS-TV a new set!!
Daybreak 289 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Same exact replica of WTOL's new set. Hope Raycom does WIS and WMBF next but I highly doubt that.
CircleSeven 1960 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 And yet another Raycom station with the WBTV set, but (based on the pics) it looks more like the WWBT variant. Same exact replica of WTOL's new set. Hope Raycom does WIS and WMBF next but I highly doubt that. I'm thinking in between the two, WIS would be the first to get a new set before WMBF. I believe any set changes coming to WMBF would probably be a lengthy one since its studio is integrated with the newsroom & live desk. Do they have other spaces in their building to place a temp set/newsroom in? I'm hoping something can be done by the station's 10th anniversary in two years.

But both WIS and WMBF need some kind of rehaul because they are both dated now. But I hope they go more of the WBTV route than the replica that is shown above.

For the love of God, PLEASE someone fork out money to get WHAS-TV a new set!![ATTACH=full]2985[/ATTACH] Just set up a "Go fund me" page for that new set. I honestly think that viewers are so stupid now that they would fall for that ruse. How about a pledge drive?
LexTVandRadio 418 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Nice! Yeah, come on WHAS and Tegna... it's time. It's been time.
Breaking News 839 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Nice! Yeah, come on WHAS and Tegna... it's time. It's been time. Yeah, but WHAS 11 doesn't need those boutique sets that KARE, KING, KUSA, all unveiled? It need something nice & different from the competition.
LOWERCASE GUY 280 Posted July 3, 2016 Author Posted July 3, 2016 Yeah, but WHAS 11 doesn't need those boutique sets that KARE, KING, KUSA, all unveiled? It need something nice & different from the competition. Compared to what they have now, that would be nice and different. :-)

memnews1 25 Posted July 3, 2016 Posted July 3, 2016 Put WMC on the list please...its getting time for the 10 year set to go.
LOWERCASE GUY 280 Posted July 3, 2016 Author Posted July 3, 2016 Nice! Yeah, come on WHAS and Tegna... it's time. It's been time. When did they debut that set? 2001???
LexTVandRadio 418 Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 When did they debut that set? 2001??? I believe so. 2001 or 2002 I recall.
MidwestTV 1241 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Not everyday a station posts the renders of their new studio
tyrannical bastard 4033 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 I heard WCMH is getting a new set too. Are they getting the old set like they did before in 2002?
Daybreak 289 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 I heard WCMH is getting a new set too. Are they getting the old set like they did before in 2002? Didn't they already get a new set in 2012-2013???? I'm sure its like WFLA set.
TennTV1983 807 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Didn't they already get a new set in 2012-2013???? I'm sure its like WFLA set. WCMH's current set predates the one WFLA got by about a year or two, but yeah, it's not that old to be replaced so soon.
tyrannical bastard 4033 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Seeing the mess that WCMH has become, it wouldn't surprise me if they overhauled their current set. It's sort of a cluster. Even their prior set (the FX Media General standard-issue) only lasted 4 years! Large parts of their prior set during the end of the O&O era into Media General's ownership was a hand-me-down from WAVE. The desk for sure. Here it is from 2007 at WCMH.
tyrannical bastard 4033 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 And here's WAVE's use of it......IN 1996!

[ATTACH=full]3024[/ATTACH] Never understood why NBC never wanted to put money in WCMH, Columbus was a fast growing television market. Here's a pic of that same set back in 08 when they switched to HD. They refreshed it for HD and only used it for 2 months and got a new set in the summer.
Rusty Muck 4403 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 Never understood why NBC never wanted to put money in WCMH, Columbus was a fast growing television market. Here's a pic of that same set back in 08 when they switched to HD. They refreshed it for HD and only used it for 2 months and got a new set in the summer. Well, NBC never really wanted to be in Cleveland, either. Their stewardship of WKYC speaks for itself.
ColDayNews 438 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 WCMH was still using their Outlet era set as far back as 2001 with some modifications (i.e. where the words NEWS 4 were, they placed NewsChannel 4 + bought a different desk). Plus, they ran themselves as an O&O until 2008 (their master control was at 30 Rock, their site still remained in the O&O format, etc.) Now, where the old NBC News Columbus bureau was, they've placed a "WATCH 4 Alert Desk." WCMH has been suffering since the sale, the last few years have just been the nail in the coffin. Seeing the mess that WCMH has become, it wouldn't surprise me if they overhauled their current set. It's sort of a cluster. Even their prior set (the FX Media General standard-issue) only lasted 4 years!

ColDayNews 438 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 2001, 5 years after the NBC/Outlet merger. 1996, around the time of the merger.

LexTVandRadio 418 Posted August 8, 2016 Posted August 8, 2016 I like it! Is it me or do they really zoom in on the anchor?
