Avro 10 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 The CBC affiliate in Calgary, Alberta has completed the move from their first location along Memorial Drive to a new space located near Foothills Hospital at 1000 Veterans Place N.W. This was done as their previous space was too large for their current needs (their new space is 21,000 sq ft), old (it was built in the 1960's for the station's launch), and was being sold. Broadcast quality has been improved after the move as there is very little compression shown on camera and in their graphics package. Old studio (Westmount): New studio: The backgrounds of the set consists of a transparent map of Calgary, along with two large skyline photos taken from Scotsman Hill and near St. Patrick's Island. There are LED lights which can be programmed to change colour on the desk and set. There are no chairs for the anchors and interviewee at the desk. New large monitor replaces old over-the-shoulder graphics. Their newsroom doesn't appear to have any CBC colours/logos compared to their old space.

Journalist 894 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 The CBC invested in a actual set? With money? In the 21st century? This calls for a celebration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper550 268 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 That set looks small, but at least it's not yet another cookie-cutter Tegna set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, I like the current naming scheme for Canadian stations. A title like 'CBC Calgary' is a much more efficient brand for the station and the network than a convoluted and disjointed title like "CBC 9" or "CBRT". This scheme created a fine line between what should be considered technical (like a call sign or a channel number) and what should be considered common knowledge (i.e. branding, taglines). It's the one thing Canadian TV got right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah to me its just way too corporate for me I think American Stations sound cooler like WJZ 13 or PIX 11.I do like City TV but Rogers seems to be screwing it over after Moses Znaimer retired but if one channel I like up in the Great White North is CP24.Its like a good mix of News 12 Long Islandf and NY1 without the loopy pattern plus its on every provider unlike NY1 and News 12 which are on select providers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason why the current naming scheme works. Corporatism. It's like a match made in heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
