Rusty Muck 4225 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 If Scripps bought the XETV set and shipped it cross-country to KB... NAH. It wouldn't happen. ...would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Muck 4225 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Wonder if it will be an actual set or if Scripps is going to "invest" in another greenscreen special... The last thing I want to see is Scripps doing a "hold my beer..." especially when the past set pre-Scripps was embarrassingly cheap (at least Scripps tried to make it look semi-decent later on).

TennTV1983 756 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Wonder if it will be an actual set or if Scripps is going to "invest" in another greenscreen special... Like they did with KMTV and WGBA? While we're on that subject, how big is WKBW's studio anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ns8401 846 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 WKBW Temp set not sure if it's being done in the newsroom or the AM Buffalo studio. It's still incredibly weird seeing that logo elsewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not a major market station your likelihood of Scripps getting you a virtual set is at like 89%. It's a little higher if you're a former Journal station.

Weeters 1812 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 That doesn't bode well for KGUN then. Their set is only a few years old so I think they're safe... But don't expect them to replace it until they absolutely have to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given KB's past history with technical glitches pre-Scripps, I'm not sure a green screen set is a good idea. Plus their master control is still run out of Atlanta, no? As for the studio space, I always had the impression that the previous set totally underutilized it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WGBA was (is) far from the pinnacle of technical aptitude as well. From what I've heard Scripps pulled together their best people to get the virtual set installed and then told them not to touch it, which is usually why things stop working.

TexasTVNews 1367 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I'm going to miss the old set, but I liked it when Scripps bought 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns8401 846 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I'm going to miss the old set, but I liked it when Scripps bought 7. They can take it apart and ship it to its big sister minus the brick... that's a much better set than the other 7 has... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daybreak 270 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I'm going to miss the old set, but I liked it when Scripps bought 7. Is this a picture of the old set or new one. If its the old one then technically they could've just get a refresh. A new design, duratrans, and swap out some of those faux stones would've suffice.

Viper550 268 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 This does appear to be their current set. It appears to have been iterated from at least 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new design, duratrans, and swap out some of those faux stones would've suffice. That is the old set. It got a refresh in 2014 when Scripps took over and scrapped the ghastly yellow-tinted skyline (and the main anchor desk, IIRC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalonewsfan 9 Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 The original set was designed in 2001 by Park Place Updated in 2003 And finally 2014 when Scripps bought them... Considering the competition [WGRZ (Tegna) & WIVB (Nexstar)] both have considerably better sets, let's hope Scripps doesn't drop the ball on this one. WKBW has come a long way since Scripps has bought them, but a cheap set would be the death of them at this point. Right now WGRZ's set looks light years ahead of WKBW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1679 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 You know the first Scripps set looks pretty good. It still looks contemporary without going nuts technology wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brb588 85 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I'm sorry, but that's still pretty good looking set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1679 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I was just thinking that when WJZ decides to upgrade their set they should go the route of the first Scripps set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
