LivefromNewYork 37 Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Earlier in the month CBS 12 opened their 'Hurricane Answer Center' in presumably their news facilities. (reporters were seen in the center and main studio minutes apart) The 'Hurricane Answer Center', as displayed in the below FaceBook live video, shows a large monitor configuration with modern finishes. WPEC is the CBS affiliate for West Palm Beach Fl, owned by Sinclair. Their set, as it is today, via Newscaststudio.
LivefromNewYork 37 Posted August 14, 2018 Author Posted August 14, 2018 [MEDIA=twitter]1029295269563834368[/MEDIA] Apparently the studio above ( and set parts) were home to ASN (American Sports Network), Sinclair's attempt of a sports network. It was headquartered in West Palm, next to the news building of WPEC. Per morning achor Suzanne Boyd, CBS 12 will use the ASN set as a temporary set until a new old is built.
CircleSeven 1960 Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 Hadn't they had that old set since their HD launch a decade ago?
bhratbrat 437 Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 Not a bad idea for a temp set. And yes..they have had their FX group set since the launch of HD.
LivefromNewYork 37 Posted August 14, 2018 Author Posted August 14, 2018 Hadn't they had that old set since their HD launch a decade ago? Yes, they have had it since 2008. Some updates have been added such as this dreadful corner: [GALLERY=media, 1073]Cbs 12 by LivefromNewYork posted Aug 14, 2018 at 6:58 PM[/GALLERY] And some updated blocking.The entirety of the 3:00 pm broadcast is done from this position which is standing in front of the desk: [GALLERY=media, 1074]Suzane by LivefromNewYork posted Aug 14, 2018 at 6:58 PM[/GALLERY]
ScottSchell 372 Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 Shoot their sister station KTUL needs a new set as well they have been in the ”newscenter” style since they remodeled in 1998-1999.
TennTV1983 807 Posted August 15, 2018 Posted August 15, 2018 Hadn't they had that old set since their HD launch a decade ago? They had two HD news sets with a shared weather center. One side of the studio was for WPEC's newscasts while the other was for WFLX's newscasts right before WPTV took over.

Hell if they were smart, they'd use a good portion of this set or even this whole set as their set. It's very elaborate and very modern, very nice for a temp set. I'm sure this is miles better than whatever crap Sinclair is going to give them.

Just do a KDKA and build around the temporary set.

Unless it's as good as KOMO's, they should just keep this (but maybe with a different desk). They made it work.
montydavis 7 Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 Devlin is doing WPEC as well. [ATTACH=full]6704[/ATTACH] Can someone please tell me that WCIV in Charleston is sometime soon!!
TheRolyPoly 2585 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I like it. For some reason though, it gives me a TEGNA vibe.
MidwestTV 1243 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 do they do the news from the weather center or something? that desk is always there. or is it the whole set? i'm so confused.

susquvalleywgal 521 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Can we talk about those ugly mic flags for a minute?! Goodness. — Matt
brb588 113 Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Holy smokes! Monitors galore! Feels sterile to me.
Sendir 194 Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Can we talk about how they are using elements of the new graphics package in the background of anchors but have not fully debuted the package? I bet once they do, all of it will come together.
