Breaking News 849 Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 WSYX is broadcasting from the newsroom from their temporary set. The station current set debut 2008/09. The weekend morning show and others have moved to the newsroom here a pic until the new set makes it debut.
ColDayNews 438 Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 They've been using their current set since the end of the NewsCenter on ABC 6/Fox 28 era ... if I recall correctly, they debuted the set while Yolanda Harris and Gabe Spiegel were still their main anchors... Sinclair is notorious for being cheap with their sets, so that's probably why they've kept it so long. About time! Sidenote: Is Tom Sussi gone? I haven't seen him in a bit.

Yeah, you're right and Sussi been gone for awhile like many others. Also Jym Gahnal former chief met from WCMH will be on WSYX tomorrow at noon.
JacobC 44 Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 The next set that needs to follow WSYX/WTTE are WBFF/WNUV, WLOS/WMYA, and WEAR/WFGX. Those sets had them since they went high-def.
10Viewer 338 Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 The weather/traffic is being done from a green screen in a conference room. Guess they don't have a backup studio in their building, eh? Tom Sussi went to WXIX, btw.
ColumbusNewsFan 218 Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Their back up studio is used for their Morning Show "Good Day Columbus" but it is not ready for news cast or the sort. It's interesting because they just launched new refreshed graphics for them.
tyrannical bastard 4084 Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 This is the first time I've seen a Sinclair station ever upgrade a set from one they've upgraded themselves before.... WBFF, WLOS and WEAR were all part of the first wave of upgrades that WSYX got a decade ago. And many of these happened for the first time EVER under Sinclair!
ColDayNews 438 Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 I think WSYX ought to move Good Day Columbus and their noon show to the old WCMH space at Broad and High... NBC built the space yet Media General didn't want it. WBNS currenly owns the rights to the ticker, however the studio has been for rent since 2016. Fun fact: when WCMH leased the space out, the screen broadcasted The Today Show, their newscasts, Nightly News and NBC SRs. A jewelry store just moved out of it.
tyrannical bastard 4084 Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 WSYX has updated their graphics starting with their noon show. It's the same color scheme that WLUK and KOKH use, but with a modified and darker blue version of the "curves" package with an ABC in the background. I imagine WTTE will get the same package WLUK and KOKH are using.

I imagine WTTE will get the same package WLUK and KOKH are using. Important to note here and it hasn't been noted yet. Good Day Columbus, Their Morning Show over the two stations still uses Curves 1.0 while the rest of 6/28 use Curves 2.0
ColumbusNewsFan 218 Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 Checking it out and it looks nice!
TheRolyPoly 2658 Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 It doesn't look like a traditional Sinclair news set so its actually pretty nice!
TennTV1983 811 Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 A tour of the new digs with Stacia Naquin: [MEDIA=twitter]940342937770082304[/MEDIA] The set must've been too big to put in one place they had to put the interview area in an adjacent studio.
ColumbusNewsFan 218 Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 Overall, Sinclair went in and made sure it's jewel in Columbus was taken Care of in a major way. They saying it's a first of it kind for Sinclair and for WSYX/WTTE mainly. Remember that the previous was 1.0 of the current Sinclair Set-Up.

Not sure about the color choices but we'll see what happens as they grow into it. Also, why bother with a video wall that's only two rows tall? It's not a good look. Use three rows or don't bother.

Truthfully speaking while watching it it actually works pretty well for them where they can do OTS stuff and other things but It works well for them.
tyrannical bastard 4084 Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 How do they treat the WTTE newscasts? It looks like the "ABC" logos are part of the set (behind the main video screen) It wouldn't make any sense unless they've resorted to a re-brand like ABC 6 News on FOX 28!
Weeters 1981 Posted December 15, 2017 Posted December 15, 2017 Look closer at that Twitter video. The things next to the main video wall are rear projection screens. Basically everything with a logo on it is a screen.
