I noticed at noon that KDKA is using their temporary set again, I know on Saturday morning I heard a loud bang and Meteorologist Jon Bernett said "don't worry, the set is falling apart" and Brenda Waters laughed it off and Rick Dayton said something too. It may not be nothing but just thought I'd ask and see what was going on?

 

Here's the clip I captured and you'll see their were some bloopers too

According to a message I received from KDKA' Morning Meteorologist Ron Smiley

 

They are redoing the audio board and some other upgrades and in the process had to take out a room and rebuild it farther out. In all of that moved main anchors out for next couple of dYs in guessing.

It's a shame they'll tear out those big windows since they're probably original to the construction of their studios, but cramped control rooms suck so I can understand why it's happening.

I take it if they were only out of the main studio a day or two to remove the audio board and what not that the construction will take place around the newscasts?

You'll probably see them on the temp set here and there for the next week or two.

 

Construction takes a little time and working around the schedule of a TV news station isn't very convenient. They'll probably be on the temp set during midday for the next few days since that's when construction crews prefer to work.
