LexTVandRadio 416 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Not sure when they got a new set, but checking the Gatlinburg fires and I noticed this. https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/15288557_10154757710534469_4684335285941778770_o.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 756 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Gray's been pumping money into their stations for quality news sets as of late, so I'm not surprised WVLT got one too. EDIT: Per the Knoxville News-Sentinel, WVLT has had their new set since September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Per the Knoxville News-Sentinel, WVLT has had their new set since September. I hope WSAZ gets one in the next year. But I'm not holding my breathe for it. Overall that is a nice set for Volunteer TV, whoops Local8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1847 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 One... nice upgrade from their previous set. Two... WVLT is getting ready to take over production of WBXX's newscasts. Probably wasn't THE reason why WVLT got a new set, but its probably one of plenty as to why WVLT went to upgrade and get a new set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1679 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Looks nice. Amazing how cost has come down and small market stations now cay have a good high tech look. Just think video walls like these would be a significant chunk of the budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think video walls like these would be a significant chunk of the budget. That's because Gray is buying that same set design in bulk. KSFY in South Dakota also have the same WTVG/WJRT set (along with a few others). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1174 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 That faux-brick seems very out of place and the transition into the weather center is rough. Otherwise not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSFY in South Dakota also have the same WTVG/WJRT set (along with a few others). WTOK/Meridian, MS has not had a new set in a LONG time. Their set has held up good even though it has been refreshed quite a bit. They are in need of a new set for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in need of a new set for sure. Management probably sees no need to get WTOK a set since they're the only game in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Tarlek 0 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Management probably sees no need to get WTOK a set since they're the only game in town. The set in my avatar is 10 years old. It's past time for Gray to upgrade here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1295 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 The set in my avatar is 10 years old. It's past time for Gray to upgrade here. The competition is a badly-run Nexstar station that shows NO HD NEWS. Gray can at least justify not touching the set for a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3493 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 The sad thing is that WTOK's set is very similar (structurally) to the one that WTVY replaced A DECADE AGO! (both were ex-Benedek stations). All they got was some cosmetic changes and some hand-me-down cameras from WNDU (although they were the nice, big studio kind instead of those itty-bitty robotic ones on sticks) WJHG got their set in 2005 when Gil Jimenez was cranking them out for Gray en masse. All they did when they finally went HD was throw up some monitors to cover it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess that one and WYMT will get replaced this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padrechuck 25 Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 WSAZ is definitely in need of a new set. Their current set dates from mid 2000's. Here is an article from when they transitioned to HD news production..... http://www.bridges-mag.com/?p=221 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes it is time for WSAZ to get a new set in Huntington and Charleston. WSAZ 2007 KARE11 2006: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
