MidwestTV 1174 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Alright, that is a GREAT set for Buffalo. Not too crazy about homebase though. They could have done a bit more than a large duratran, but compared to what they had and how old it was, this is pretty good stuff. Scripps has done wonders for that place.

atlnews2 563 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Good News: it's not a green screen set Bad news: It's one of those sets with a standing desk instead of a sitting desk. Overall not bad for Scripps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns8401 846 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 WKBW debuted the new set on today's noon newscast. It's a sad day when the Buffalo stations set looks better than the set in Scripps most important market... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A3N 996 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Not bad. I like it. Looks a bit plain, but it'll work for Buffalo. On a side note: Did anyone catch that 7 logo/transition in the video? I don't think i've seen that type of animation/transition used in the Scripps graphics package, but It looked very sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Newsroom 1151 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 It's a great looking set. Alright and middling in a higher market, but works great in this market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WXYZ has been using the same 7 transition.. it looks really good on a big HDTV... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's an in-house modification, it's a very good job! Come to think of it, that logo swipe does look a bit familiar... That's how far they've come in the past two years alone.

buffalonewsfan 9 Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 This set is GREAT for WKBW and Buffalo. It reflects all of the improvements and energy that have been applied into the newscasts since Scripps has taken over from Granite. Apparently from this FaceTime video, this is only the "phase one". Personally I love the new set for this market. I would like to see the anchors sitting and a video wall somewhere (especially behind the anchors). I'm happy with "phase one", but really excited to see "phase two". Again in my opinion I think Scripps has done a great job with WKBW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1174 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Do we know who designed it? Scripps is weird in that they haven't gone to a fixed company for their stations' new designs and their sets are fully standardized either. Actually sort of surprising they didn't go with the Park Place standard that 4 of their stations have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
