KPNX New Set

As an Arizona Native, I was in Phoenix last week for a wedding, and saw that KPNX, the Tegna Affiliate, got a modified "Tegna in a Box" set that debuted last week for the station's 65th Anniversary. Set seems dark, as they are now in the back of the streetside studio, and the anchor desk is no longer in front of the windows. There was a video I cannot find now that shows the area near the windows now functions as a live performance area, and the kitchen is between the news area and the performance area. Wondering if the mini-KHOU downtown set, or the WFAA set will share any of treatment applied to KPNX? Here's the link for story:

The move away from the streetside background is somewhat disappointing, though they weren't using it much blocking-wise, from the few times I have dared to watch 12.

Looks nice, though I don't think monitors on the front of any anchor desk is ever necessary under any circumstances.

It does look pretty slick. Though (mini-side rant) as much as they’re trying to be WSVN, even THEY know when to kill the music.

Monitors on the desk? What a concept, Tegna! You're slowly learning!

The set actually looks pretty nice being so darkly lit. It might not suit the bright, sunny environment of Arizona, but it does look nice.
