TexasTVNews 1366 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 IIRC; nine of the FOX O&Os have gotten new sets from BDI, FX Group, and DDG. And with this move; it makes #10. Four of the FOX O&Os are still have their current sets from the 2006-07 are in desperate need of new sets in the near future (KDFW, KRIV, WFLD, and WNYW). You can cross out KTBC and KTVU because there's no need to get new sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget JHD Group, which did KTTV's set (as well as WJZY's lounge set, which has since been remodeled into a more traditional one by same company).

FiveNews 329 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 It looks like JHD is doing WJBK Fox 2's set. There are some concepts on the JHD page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaking News 802 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Make Note FOX 2 NEWS; just went an hour at 6pm on Sept 12. The station now does news from 5-7pm. WXYZ in it hey day used to do News from 5-7pm during the Bonds/Lewis/Timmons era which won the evening news back in the day. FOX 2 making some gains, and happy to see a new set in their future.

FOX 2 is already #1 in all the demos by a comfortable margin and XYZ only stopped doing 5-7 when they moved World News Tonight from 7 to 630 when 9/11 happened...

I know FOX 2 owns the morning news #1 in HH & demos, but for the evening news I thought Local 4 wins at 4,5,6,11 in HH and demos? XYZ 3rd at 5PM, but move up to second place at Morning, Noon, 6,11pm in HH and demos? I knew when 9/11 happened WXYZ aired World News at 6:30PM, but never knew why they didn't go back to airing the news for an hour at 6pm. I personally knew people who were invested in the hour long 6pm news, and the whole 5-7PM block as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRAP-TV 145 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Those renderings on JHD's website were not very flattering, as far as I'm concerned. Way too busy. Nothing subtle about those designs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noon is 2-7-4. 4-630 is 2,4,7. 11 is 2,4,7. Households is almost always 4,7,2. 2 has beat 7 at 5 and 6 once in a while during sweeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVCSD 3 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 IIRC; nine of the FOX O&Os have gotten new sets from BDI, FX Group, and DDG. And with this move; it makes #10. Four of the FOX O&Os are still have their current sets from the 2006-07 are in desperate need of new sets in the near future (KDFW, KRIV, WFLD, and WNYW). You can cross out KTBC and KTVU because there's no need to get new sets. I heard Devlin is doing KRIV and should be launching before the end of the year. Devlin is doing the work on this one. Not JHD Group. Don't trust conceptual designs. Seems kinda sad when a set designer has to advertise work they didn't get to beef up their portfolio, doesn't say much for the overall body of their work experience or marketing acumen.

Action Newsroom 1150 Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Wow. The Fox stations have continued to kill it with their new sets. This one from WJBK is no exception. It's bigger, brighter, more expansive and more technologically-advanced. And the design and features are just awesome. This has to be the best Fox station set to me.

ToriElectra 291 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 And yet, Fox continues to neglect WNYW- their set is now 10 years old, and the logo on the front of the desk is badly faded. C'mon, you guys, get them a new set! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5276 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Ratings = Funding for a new set. Therefore, the Atlantas, Washingtons, and Detroits of the world have gotten new sets, and the New Yorks and Chicagos of the world have not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1944 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 And yet, Fox continues to neglect WNYW- their set is now 10 years old, and the logo on the front of the desk is badly faded. C'mon, you guys, get them a new set! The way they're running things right now at 5, it might be the least of their priorities. And that's a shame. Should've started working on a new for 5, just as soon as 29 gotten finished with theirs in the summer. KDFW, KRIV, WFLD, and Former FOX O&O WJW needs a new set as well. But I wouldn't be surprised if WFLD be the last station to get a full set change. Their studio space is much smaller than spaces like WNYW & WTXF. 32 was the last station with the Blythe set. And any change would have to accommodate with that limited space. I'm sure no one wants to see a new set that is extremely cramped like sardines in a can. I'm hoping next year WJW can finally get a set that would just "blow out the water" like KCPQ's. But I'm not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That desk looks off in that shot. Other than that, epic set for Detroit. Shout out to Fox for ponying up big bucks for some good sets. Hopefully, WFLD finally gets to remodel it's broom closet of a studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
