TampaBowler 48 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Looks like the Nexstar station in Salt Lake City has received a major upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 743 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I am salivating. Kudos to Nexstar for actually putting out a pretty good set design that doesn't include a certain desk that was copied from KLAS (the industrial theme is an interesting choice). Also, they've gone back to using the "News 4 Utah" branding, which hasn't been used in years. EDIT: It appears they have switched from Overture to Guardian for music.

Samantha 2878 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The logo that reads "News ABC 4 Utah" is a kludge, but you know what I don't see anywhere? Purple! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The urban, steel-bridge themes seem more New York or Chicago than Salt Lake City. Either way, gorgeous studio. Good on Nexstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onthesea 292 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The logo that reads "News ABC 4 Utah" is a kludge, but you know what I don't see anywhere? Purple! Thankfully the purple is gone! I believe that the opens and L3 have changed too. I didn't like that KABC imitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlnews2 557 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Decent Nexstar set in a box, wish it had more of a mountain theme added to it to reflect the Salt Lake area instead of generic metal and stone. Big graphics improvement over what they had.

Sendir 192 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 This is not a “set in a box”. This is 100% customized for the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 743 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 This is not a “set in a box”. This is 100% customized for the market. Nothing from Nexstar is ever in a box except for the computers, monitors and chairs. Everything else is built from the ground up locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOMatrix 1295 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 At least KTVX didn't get the "Dalek Desk". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 3066 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Looking good! It looks very cozy and welcoming, too; perfect fit for a Rocky Mountains TV station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennTV1983 743 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Looks GOOD! Are those the new Nexstar ABC graphics? They might as well be. Come to think of it, the graphics look sorta like a combination of KABC and WABC's current looks. Need to see it all in action though to make a judgement call.

brb588 85 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Great set. For the background behind the anchor desk--it seems like a lot of effort for "depth" for seemingly low res imagry. Wouldn't it make sense to put another monitor wall back there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexstar can’t seem to stick with a color for the Utah shape of the logo. First it was red in 1994, then blue in 2007, then orange-redish in 2013, now back to red in a span of 23 years.

Honestly the current logo (excluding the massive "UTAH" plastered on it, and the ABC logo that must be stuck on it to appease the network) is timeless and would have worked in any era.

WDHN in Dothan, Alabama took the wraps off their new set today and they're getting the same graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnoxvilleTVFan 286 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 In case you're wondering what they look like, here are the first few minutes of a recent newscast which showcases these graphics. It contains the open at 1:23 and looks really nice. (courtesy of Kim Fischer's YouTube channel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
