who?cares 254 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Looks like another Indy station is getting a set overhaul. Sports director Anthony Calhoun posted on Facebook today saying they are getting a new set. Their current set is almost 11 years old.

LOWERCASE GUY 262 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I have to say, their 11 year old set aged WELL!!! Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16203-wish-getting-new-set/#findComment-193760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon 37 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Yes it has! It still looks like a modern set! So WXIN & WISH are getting sets. WTHR & WRTV got new sets in the last couple of years and of course WTTV launched there's. So Indy should be set (no pun intended) for a while.

Mrtraveler01 738 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 About time! Even though it will get the Nexstar set, unfortunately. Â I dunno, I think something like the WNCN set would be a great fit for WISH.

tjt24 313 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 They were on the temp set this morning, which is in the newsroom. They said they'll be there about 6 weeks.

Perry Sook wouldn't. He wants to keep his $6.4 million salary.

TennTV1983 804 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Nexstar and a $1 Million set!? Perry Sook wouldn't. He wants to keep his $6.4 million salary. For a company that usually builds their own news sets in-house, there have been a couple of cases where they've let professional set builders come in to do the work. This is likely one of those cases. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16203-wish-getting-new-set/#findComment-202940 Share on other sites More sharing options...

who?cares 254 Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 Still no new set at 5. Indiana Primary is on Thursday, suspecting it should be by then. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16203-wish-getting-new-set/#findComment-202992 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must have been a lot more work to be done in the studio than they expected for them to just now get to the installation of the new set itself. Â Just how old is WISH's building anyway?
