NEOMatrix 1295 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 WFMJ Today (WFMJ's morning show) tweeted this picture of a new news desk from two weeks ago. WFMJ might finally be getting a new set (or at least a new desk) because the anchors have been on another part of the set these past few weeks. Honestly, it slipped past me due to obligations with work and family but here it is: [MEDIA=twitter]798103012610818048[/MEDIA] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, it slipped past me due to obligations with work and family but here it is: [MEDIA=twitter]798103012610818048[/MEDIA] I remember when the current set was installed in 2006. It has had many refreshes over the years. Most recent I believe was in 2012 when they flipped to HD news. I don't get to watch Youngstown TV that often maybe twice a month, has Today's WFMJ stopped using "Indie-Band News" for the morning show? Overall from what I can tell of that desk looks nice. This picture is from 2006 when local firm built and designed the current set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1295 Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 WFMJ is using This is the Place for every newscast. I think that WFMJ Today still uses Indie-Band News for the promos but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyNewsOpens 83 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Really hoping this is the new logo. That old logo is quite dated by this point, doesn't it have to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the logo that WFMJ has used on it's morning show for the past four years. I'm not holding my hopes high for a new logo because WFMJ has used that godawful logo for the past 15 YEARS!!!!! Most of those years until recently have been at number one. If it ain't broke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitCleTV 9 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Really hoping WFMJ steps it up.10+ years ago, there was no competition. I think that changed when WKBN was sold to LIN/MG, which made a huge investment. Now I'm noticing WFMJ and WKBN really going the extra mile to cover big events around the region, like the RNC in Cleveland this year, the World Series; locally the 50th anniversary of the GM assembly plant; and just on Monday, the Ohio State attack. Right now, the only thing WFMJ has over WKBN is its 21 Drone Cam or whatever it's called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1295 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 WFMJ has a shot to get back on top if they do this right. Since WKBN/WYTV are going to Nexstar, WFMJ will need to counteract Nexstar's "Local" approach and be more local than WKBN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, the only two things WFMJ has over WKBN is its 21 Drone Cam or whatever it's called and at least WFMJ won't become a Nexstar station. Fixed.

You do want to showcase your on-air talent that represent the station. Do you ever see The Maag Family selling WFMJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1295 Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 I don't know why WFMJ has anchor bios. Probably an oversight. As far as the Maags selling WFMJ, I don't see it in the near future unless sales of The Vindicator really start to plummet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEOMatrix 1295 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Sorry to bump the thread, but as of today (12/9), the anchors are STILL not at the main part of the desk. It looks all but done, what gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PitCleTV 9 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 looks like another part of the same studio to me. wonder if they will re-fresh other portions of the set... down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rbulger23 2 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I'm curious why the delay. I understand shot blocking and lighting and such but it takes this kind of time for a full new set. Is this an in-house project or by a professional? As a viewer from Sharon, Pa, I'm looking forward to how it shows on air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
news89 467 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Update on wfmj set change. They updated the main anchor desk and new logo and open. I thought WEWS had a poor logo and now wfmj.

And to make matters worse, it appears that they have dumped Look G for this crap. WKBN now has the best graphics by far in the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Muck 4168 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 That is hideous. I could make a logo better than that. And to make matters worse, it appears that they have dumped Look G for this crap. WKBN now has the best graphics by far in the market. ...and WKBN's look is so ultra-bland with hideous L3s. Still not a fan of KB's virtual set. WFMJ's graphics wouldn't be so bad if they had any other typeface. It looks underbaked and half done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Muck 4168 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 The logo... dear God in heaven. Did WFMJ trace over KSHB's "41" logo and hope no one noticed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
