abric 178 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 the virtual studio is gone! Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15375-ksat-12-new-set/#findComment-160513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 804 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Well, that was unexpected. Who would've guessed KSAT would finally invest in a physical news set for a change rather than a bunch of green screens and a desk?

ABC 7 Denver 1715 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I really like the simplicity of that set! Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15375-ksat-12-new-set/#findComment-160518 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRolyPoly 2415 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 A WPLG-stylized set. Other than that, finally! No more virtual!!! They've done that for way too long and I'm glad they went physical this time.

MidwestTV 1232 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 clips from KSAT 12 Hold up. They have a police officer do their traffic? Seriously? Why? Must have been very cheap or free to hire a police officer to do it (in uniform no less!). Looks like a knock-off of a Devlin set, but you can tell the quality of the execution is just not the same. You think so? The most Devlin vibe I get from it is the weather center with that back light wall. Otherwise it gives off more of an European feel to me.

Must have been very cheap or free to hire a police officer to do it (in uniform no less!). You think so? The most Devlin vibe I get from it is the weather center with that back light wall. Otherwise it gives off more of an European feel to me. They've got two cops who rotate traffic duties. They've done it for years. The cops treat it like any other second/side job and are paid by KSAT, not the city. I think it's cheesy, but they are a solid No. 1 so the viewers must like it. More recently, WFAA in Dallas has started using a cop for traffic updates, as well. Their morning show is typically third so, in their case, my thought is they did it to get some attention. Not working so far. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15375-ksat-12-new-set/#findComment-161261 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not working so far. They have been doing that for decades. Not really a bad deal considering they are paid by KSAT and it brings forth some good will for the PD.

Eat News 4745 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 They have been doing that for decades. Not really a bad deal considering they are paid by KSAT and it brings forth some good will for the PD. KGTV uses officers from the CHP...at the CHP office (insert studio) in San Diego. Not really sure what the arrangement on that is...but it "looks free".

NewsBuffy 18 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 It's not uncommon to have police departments do the weather and traffic. It's actually better for law enforcement to give public service announcements as they have straight to the source connections. KTLA and FOX LA have done it to. Also the NBC/CBS (HNN) affiliate out in Hawai'i do it to. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15375-ksat-12-new-set/#findComment-161265 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveNews 372 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 KTTV/KABC/KVEA/KMEX used to do the CHP traffic reports back in the day as well. Since LA is a hypercompetitive market, they stopped that practice. Now all LA stations have their own talent report on traffic from their respective stations.

Guess it isn't/hasn't ever been a thing in the KC market, at least that I'm aware of.

GoGatos 0 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 KSAT's set looks nice, but they apparently forgot to spring for some lighting on their new video wall. Yeesh.
