TexasTVNews 1377 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 This was on Greg Hurst Facebook page today, and they're in a temporary studio. The new studio is set to debut in November just in time for the all important sweeps month.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hope they don't get the same sterile set it sister stations recently got. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15372-khou-getting-a-new-set/#findComment-160381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1684 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I wonder if Microsoft is paying for their Surface tablets to be used on newscasts. I've watched a number of newscasts using the tablets where everything but the Windows logo was covered up.

Daybreak 288 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hope they don't get the same sterile set it sister stations recently got. What station is that?

24994J 5577 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 What station is that? KUSA, KARE, etc. (I'm probably missing one or two) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15372-khou-getting-a-new-set/#findComment-160394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven 1955 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 KUSA, KARE, etc. (I'm probably missing one or two) Â KING 5 has a variant of one of their sets too.

Daybreak 288 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 OK. I hope its not like those either but seeing the trend, its highly likely. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15372-khou-getting-a-new-set/#findComment-160396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhratbrat 437 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 The set they were on was very impressive, so most anything is going to be a downgrade.

TexasTVNews 1377 Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 It'll be interesting to see whether the new KHOU set will be a carbon-copy of KING and KUSA sets (by Jack Morton PDG), or whether it'll be something original (like Devlin or FX).

Greggo 354 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 On Twitter, their ND says KHOU's new set will be 'very different' from the one installed at KGW (where she worked until a few months ago) Â [MEDIA=twitter]782376379383816193[/MEDIA] Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15372-khou-getting-a-new-set/#findComment-160621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVCSD 3 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 It'll be interesting to see whether the new KHOU set will be a carbon-copy of KING and KUSA sets (by Jack Morton PDG), or whether it'll be something original (like Devlin or FX). Devlin is already working in Houston at KRIV, besides I heard they passed on the low budget Tegna projects. One look at the Tegna sets launched recently and you can see why the better set firms would have elected to take a pass. Word is Jack Morton is in chaos right now, they're just trying to keep the lights on.

WXmanTim 88 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 KRIV is getting a new set? Is that confirmed? Â I don't believe work has started on it, but yes, I can confirm a new set is on the way. From what I understand it will be a mashup of Atlanta & Orlando.

WXmanTim 88 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 So the bosses at KRIV finally said doing news in a closet is not a viable option. Â The studio they are in is far from being a closet. Outdated, no doubt about it, but the studio itself is rather large. Â Are you sure you don't mean Atlanta & Tampa Bay (both Devlin jobs)? Â I wasn't told who the designer is, just that it was incorporating elements of Atlanta & Orlando.

But I remember either it was you or someone else that said they wouldn't mind doing the news in a closet. I think that was a figure of speech in reference to their news director. It wasn't about the studio space at all. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15372-khou-getting-a-new-set/#findComment-161362 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Newsroom 1281 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 It looks really good. That main desk tho...ehhh. It's like they planned on having screens integrated, but changed their minds once they learned of the costs. And it shows.

24994J 5577 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 It's bland, but it seems like the least offensive adaptation of the Tegna set. Not terrible, not great. Serviceable.

RGSJenkins 435 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 It's similar to KING/KONG's set, just on a smaller scale (Sorry for the big picture). Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15372-khou-getting-a-new-set/#findComment-162336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
