Daybreak 289 Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 The set CBS needs to upgrade is WBBM not WBZ but I digress.
C Block 1566 Posted August 22, 2016 Posted August 22, 2016 I think this item was mentioned on here a while ago, if only in the chat box. I think WBZ's set is the best looking of all the CBS O&Os, so I hope they don't fumble this.
RGSJenkins 435 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 The set CBS needs to upgrade is WBBM not WBZ but I digress. I would add WFOR to that list as well.
SFTV 532 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I would add WFOR to that list as well. WBBM and WFOR look like they got their desk on clearance. I guess KPIX is just the mothership of the WBBM and WFOR desks
rkolsen 1686 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 I would add WFOR to that list as well. WFOR is like a broom closet.
TheRolyPoly 2593 Posted August 23, 2016 Posted August 23, 2016 WFOR is like a broom closet. It's true!
Action Newsroom 1300 Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 I really don't understand why they need an upgrade/refresh, since their set is one of the best of the Eye O&Os. But if it's for the best, all I can do is smile and nod. ...and judge it. The set CBS needs to upgrade is WBBM [...] but I digress. Co-signed. I would add WFOR to that list as well. I disagree. Their set certainly isn't one of the best, but it still looks nice. Thaaat desk tho. WBBM and WFOR look like they got their desk on clearance. I guess KPIX is just the mothership of the WBBM and WFOR desks lol KPIX shouldn't be the inspiration for a quick desk set up. WFOR is like a broom closet. A nice, bright, white...broom closet.
Action Newsroom 1300 Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 The revamped set just debuted at 5pm. It looks fantastic. They toned down the blue, and added a nice balance of wood and whites. (although the woods look like the designers made a quick call to Empire Today.) The lines and edges in some walls blend very well. The desk is mixed but way better than FOR, KPIX and BBM. I really like this one. This is now the second best CBS O&O set behind KCBS. I will miss the last set though. One of the best of them all, if not the best. Despite it blue-ing itself.
rkolsen 1686 Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 Looks good. I think I'd make the desk a bit wider - the cantilevered glass looks a bit odd to me. I'd extend the solid wood portion over maybe half a foot to the left (or about half way to the left monitor). [MEDIA=twitter]770366929190215680[/MEDIA]
bostonmediaguy 124 Posted August 29, 2016 Posted August 29, 2016 Here's a look at the weather area. The exit doors, naturally, do not appear on-air.
C Block 1566 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Looks pretty nice, though I agree that the desk is off. I really loved the original design, but they didn't fumble this refresh!
MidwestTV 1245 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 That desk bothers me so much. That said, I feel that I prefer the old set. I've a sneaking suspicion that so much wood tone will age out really fast.
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 949 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 I agree -- the desk just looks off kilter... the 2 tv monitors in the front don't make any sense there... But the mix of the wood and not so much blue looks better (and better on the eyes in general)
Design4u 3 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 While I like the addition of the wood in the anchor area, it becomes a bit much when you swing over to the weather center. The warmth does help to balance out the blue. The old version was rather cold. I'm a bit torn on the desk as well. The monitors seem too low to be of any benefit and the asymmetry in such a symmetrical set is confusing. For a set refresh it is nicely done.
rkolsen 1686 Posted August 30, 2016 Posted August 30, 2016 Didn't anyone else at first glance think that the wood and the bright blue graphics on the monitors look a bit off? But after seeing it a little bit the brighter colors on the monitors look good.

But after seeing it a little bit the brighter colors on the monitors look good. Hmm...? They toned down the blue, and added a nice balance of wood and whites. (although the woods look like the designers made a quick call to Empire Today.) ...yeah, I thought so. My mind changed immediately after.
