ProduceGuy 31 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Friday night's 11 p.m. newscast took place from the newsroom. Now, it appears the station is using a simplified replica of the main set. Any idea what's going on?

TheRolyPoly 2481 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I'm in Orlando on vacation. When I saw their 11:00pm news last night for just a little bit, it looked pretty normal to me.

ProduceGuy 31 Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 This morning, they used no wide shots of the set, where all five members of the morning team could be seen at once. Also, no shots of the weather center. It appears the skyline duratrans on the left side of the set (behind male anchor) has been replaced. And while the desk seems the same, there are no longer any lights on the desktop (that I can see), helping light the talent.

rpfl89 1 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 If you look at some of their anchors social media posts, you can see they're in a temp studio Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15301-wkmg-new-set/#findComment-160756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikePulse 318 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 "Hurricane's a-coming! Let's at least show off the weather center and the TVs." Everything else, I'm sure, will be revealed once the storm is over. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15301-wkmg-new-set/#findComment-160821 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProduceGuy 31 Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 Such bad timing! But it's gotta be difficult to build it between sweeps, elections and hurricane season.

Greggo 358 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Looks kinda cheap with all that frosted glass. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15301-wkmg-new-set/#findComment-161292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRAP-TV 146 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 That set is retro, and not in a good way... Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15301-wkmg-new-set/#findComment-161306 Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 5589 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Hate is a strong word, therefore, I don't hate it. That said, what Tegna station rejected that desk? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15301-wkmg-new-set/#findComment-161309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 2481 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 WESH is the last to still not switch to a new set. Had theirs since 2007 I believe. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15301-wkmg-new-set/#findComment-161320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Newsroom 1288 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 It's not bad... But that glass background is a turnoff. Frosted Flakes has less frost. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15301-wkmg-new-set/#findComment-161321 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToriElectra 292 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I actually kinda like it. The frosted glass makes it look not too flashy or distracting, compared with so many other sets these days.

Nosyviewer 1 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Same set that wjxt has been using since a few days before the hurricane Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15301-wkmg-new-set/#findComment-161401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
