Its a start, but why is WFAA being left out; they need a new set not just at Victory park, but at their main studio too.

SteveKendall 30 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 By the looks of their website, it just looks like the old logo with the CBS eye tacked on.

Que 73 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Why does Tegna think this is good? But look at all that room KENS has to work with. Let's hope WFAA does not get this. They already lost a lot of good people and brought on new bland/boring talent (which would go perfect with the Tegna set).

[MEDIA=twitter]824000890717794304[/MEDIA] I kinda sense a "CBS 5" branding getting thrown in there somewhere when the new set rolls out.

Greggo 354 Posted February 8, 2017 Author Share Posted February 8, 2017 Debuts today at 4. Doesn't look as bad as some of the other Tegna set rollouts (cough, cough ...

24994J 5575 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Those plain gray panels at the top and bottom of the set add nothing, and I STILL maintain that the desk would look a million times better if each station's logo was etched into the frosted panels. That said, I do think that this set design looks better in a small market...which is a problem for almost all the large station groups (pertaining to both sets and/or graphics).

Que 73 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Let's hope those light reflections on the monitors do not show up during broadcast. I am noticing a lot of stations these days are not paying attention to proper lighting and monitor placement.

TexasTVNews 1377 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Well; you have to admit, the Tegna sets (Jack Morton PDG) you seen on KING, KUSA, WHAS, KHOU and now KENS are the most incredible news sets I've ever seen. And I still say expect more Tegna sets coming on all Tegna stations soon.

Look, the guitar pick desk, LCD screen layouts and usage of gradients as the backdrop created a unique design while providing versatile options. Additionally, it at least functions as a set, with the primary shooting points unobstructed and appropriate. However, the horrific choice of wood tones added with an oversaturated gradient set and a excessive use of dead space to emulate minimalism killed any potential this design would have. Classic Tegna.

The main issue is that they are too sterile for me. I feel like something needs to be added below the back lit "ribbons". Maybe they could add strategic lighting aiming towards the floor. I think this maybe the case of the finished photos not doing the set justice.

Greggo 354 Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 ...So when will KVUE 24 get this carbon copy? KVUE is supposed to get it sometime this year, last I heard. Was originally supposed to be immediately following the KENS install, but things apparently changed.
