LexTVandRadio 416 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Heard them talk about this on local radio the other day. Their 10 year old set will be coming down in June and the new one will be ready in July! Along with new graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProduceGuy 31 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZElNkvCU0_ISweet! I really liked the original look of their current set before they changed the desk and made other tweaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LexTVandRadio 416 Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Yup! Not sure who did the current graphics. Hopefully they will stick with the same company. Wonder if KVOA will get a new set as well? Same set. Same time, but they didn't get the new desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexTVandRadio 416 Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 I was watching their newscast this morning and they announced the changes coming. Break down of the current set will start tomorrow and will be in the newsroom for a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProduceGuy 31 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Props to WLEX for being open with viewers about getting a new set. It'll be interesting to see what the newsroom setup will look like. Similar to the 2007 transition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexTVandRadio 416 Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 Not sure. Guess we will see this evening. It could look like 2007 or like 2012 (when they got a new desk). Put a few tv screens back there. Via twitter the set being torn down. [MEDIA=twitter]870976365625004032[/MEDIA] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newsn8te 190 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Also here is another video then talking about new graphics and new music. Can't wait to see the changes! Glad they're changing the music. Anything other than Icon is an improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Icon news package was okay but there isn't a V2 of it. My guess they will go with Guardian. Seems to be popular. Doubt they will go back to In-sink.

Big Country News 435 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I thought the Icon news package was okay but there isn't a V2 of it. WLEX could very well be commissioning a 'V2' of Icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexTVandRadio 416 Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 At least they are having fun with this! They also added a slide show... this set is built by FX. http://www.lex18.com/slideshow?widgetid=200423 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsn8te 190 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 WLEX could very well be commissioning a 'V2' of Icon. I hope not. Icon is one of the very few packages I strongly dislike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexTVandRadio 416 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 A cool 360 view camera. First thoughts... it's much larger than the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LexTVandRadio 416 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 The set is finished. Should be on the air soon. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1352405058142831 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeters 1812 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 What is set blocking? Blocking is setting up a list of camera shots that can be easily called out, or in the case of robotic cameras, pre-programming the different shots into the robotics system. Also figuring out where talent needs to stand, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexTVandRadio 416 Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 The debut will be on Monday 7/10 at Noon. New set. New graphics. New music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidwestTV 1174 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 It's funny because like most all other stations that have these LED curtains, it's unlikely they'll ever use more than 2 or 3 colors, so they're having their dance party now because they know they'll likely never see most of the rainbow on that set again.
