WXmanTim 88 Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 Interesting that they are doing this before sweeps is over, but I'm guessing they want it to debut in time for Super Bowl LI. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1166641183417743&substory_index=0&id=234330926648778
jbnews 347 Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 Maybe they will debut it in time for the Presidential Inauguration on January 20th.
TexasTVNews 1380 Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 That leaves only KDFW, WFLD, and WNYW with the original FOX O&O sets left. The question is... who's next on the list?
NEOMatrix 1319 Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 That leaves only KDFW, WFLD, and WNYW with the original FOX O&O sets left. The question is... who's next on the list? Probably KDFW. Even though WFLD and WNYW are pre-New World O&Os, KDFW actually isn't below the top 3 in Dallas whereas WFLD is ranked 5th in Chicago and WNYW is ranked 4th in NYC.
Dk_mediaNYC 30 Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 Probably KDFW. Even though WFLD and WNYW are pre-New World O&Os, KDFW actually isn't below the top 3 in Dallas whereas WFLD is ranked 5th in Chicago and WNYW is ranked 4th in NYC. but still WNYW's RATINGS WOULD go UP if they got a new set! at least I think the problem with them is the silly news director!
NEOMatrix 1319 Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 but still WNYW's RATINGS WOULD go UP if they got a new set! at least I think the problem with them is the silly news director! They would but as long as Abernathy is under the helm at FTSC, WNYW and WFLD will be the last to get a new set due to his silly equations for determining how much dough goes where.

NEOMatrix 1319 Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 I think WJBK, WTTG, and WJW still have the old sets as well. WJBK and WTTG both had their sets redone within the past year or two and WJW is now a Tribune station but there are rumors that Cleveland's Own will finally get a new set after TEN YEARS of using the O&O set.
news89 468 Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 WJBK and WTTG both had their sets redone within the past year or two and WJW is now a Tribune station but there are rumors that Cleveland's Own will finally get a new set after TEN YEARS of using the O&O set. I hope the rumor is true of Newscenter8 getting a new set. O&O look never fit Cleveland at all. WJW has always kept their sets up anywhere from 9 to 12 years. 1985 to 1997. 1997 to 2007. I sure do miss Fusion. It's been awhile since I've heard a "Fusion" cut or "Power News" played accidentally on WJW.
Jay Russell 25 Posted November 21, 2016 Posted November 21, 2016 WBBM is actually getting the number 5 spot. WFLD is moving up. At least WFLD has a digital backdrop
WXmanTim 88 Posted December 15, 2016 Author Posted December 15, 2016 First look at a portion of the new Fox 26 studio, courtesy meteorologist Mike Iscovitz https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10154781693316542&substory_index=0&id=60445186541
NowBergen 924 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 but still WNYW's RATINGS WOULD go UP if they got a new set! at least I think the problem with them is the silly news director! I think WNYW's issues are deeper - I find their newscasts are hard to watch no matter how pretty the set is. A good portion of their newscasts have been used as a PR tool for Fox shows like Empire. In DMA no. 1, there is more than enough news to cover a full hour's newscast.
TennTV1983 870 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Watching the live stream now. First thing I noticed: THAT DESK! Whose idea was it to place two large monitors in an upward position in front of the desk. It's like they hired the same people who designed the Fox News Deck as consultants. The rest of the new set looks fine. Looks like a Devlin job for the most part, but the desk is just .... What were they thinking?
Greggo 384 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 I like it! (Except those 2 monitors on the desktop.) [MEDIA=twitter]820933525725659140[/MEDIA]
TexasTVNews 1380 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 http://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2017/01/pics-fox-26-kriv-debuts-new-set-2017.html
rkolsen 1699 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Whoever thought those monitors would look good in that position should be fired. If they wanted monitors there I would definitely have them closer to the base of the desk. I could see the monitors being used for single headed shows - which look like they could be filmed straight on.
WestleyWolf 123 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 looks like its a reminisce of the fox news deck.
TSSZNews 1053 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 The desk aside, it's the best set in the group by a MILE.
Jay Russell 25 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 No its not WAGA WOFL and KSAZ have the best sets
bhratbrat 439 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 That desk should be my desk at work with the monitors that way. I hear it promotes healthy living. LOL. But in all seriousness what a great upgrade for FOX 26 and well needed. I wonder if FOX will be doing shows from the set during Super Bowl Week.
Jess 1115 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 I might be the only one here who actually went "holy crap that desk looks cool." Completely impractical but kind of cool.
C Block 1611 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 That thing looks fucking crazy! There are definitely worse Fox TV sets, but I think KSAZ still has the best one.
Breaking News 888 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 more from Newscaststudio.com The news desk looks looks like the star ship enterprise from Star Trek Deep Space Nine. +
