SFTV 526 Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 That open looks like someone at the station saw the graphics a former KTVU art director debut a few months ago at their new gig at a Tegna station... He’s the MVP right there!!!

C Block 1566 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Looks nice. They really went for an understated look that is very fitting for them. I'm glad nobody yelled, "these blank walls need more monitors!" This looks like a good place to do rolling news for 12+ hours a day, give or take. There's also the upstairs studio, which has a ton of flexibility and will be better for the in-house interviews. The main video wall backdrop looks too much like they're trying to make it look like the old set. The new music is all wrong, but then again, the music it replaced wasn't great either.

They are still a Cox station at heart. It kinda reminds me when their former sister station WSB got their new set a couple of years ago. Very understated and looks familiar to their previous set. I guess if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16595-ktvu-getting-a-new-set/page/3/#findComment-215876 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfomspphl 490 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The talent looks crowded and low budget on the 4 shot. Either the main screen is too small or they need to do the shot from a lower angle. Yet another "studio in a corner" setup that doesn't have good depth and makes things seem smaller to the viewer.

TSSZNews 1051 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 The main desk reminds me of Network 10's newsroom set in Sydney...10 years ago. That felt huge and well executed. This...doesn't.

They basically put the anchor desk where the old weather authority center was and the new weather center area was the old set up. Looking at Pam Cook’s Instagram Story, it seems like they moved the Telepromter and camera area were the old 7pm/multipurpose area used to be and the long wall with the cables was where the cameras used to be housed at.

KRAP-TV 146 Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Devlin does good sets. And this is a good set. But I do tire of the flowery language that accompanies these debuts. There's not much here that is "unique" or "cutting edge". It's a nice set that should serve the station quite well for many years to come. I quite like the upstair space - lovely views...

ABC 7 Denver 1717 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Totally bland. Nothing unique or noteworthy about it and the open is the way it is because the GM demanded it to be so.

MidwestTV 1232 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 and new opens The open is strikingly similar to WDAF's new look. Surprised no one has made that connection yet.

C Block 1566 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 They switched to a darker blue at night this week. The light blue is still used earlier in the day.

You can say that again. I'll be blunt. One of the reasons I don't watch WTXF locally - possibly the chief reason I don't watch WTXF locally - are the graphics. The look and sound are absolutely horrible. The actual news content is better than KYW, but KYW at least looks like a professional operation. Fox's graphics are incredibly cheap and tacky, and they have been for over a decade at this point. A fundamental rethink is needed.

A fundamental rethink is needed. You should see it here. I can appreciate Fox 35’s in house department has been pulling their share of stings (and new talent opens), but in general, it’s too tabloid. “News Station” in the graphics, reporter tosses; got Arnold on one cut and cheap production music on another (bumpers and etc) At least WSVN (the REAL News Station) has a bit of consistent flair about it - 30 years of practice. (This is why I’m trying to create a mock of a new look - check graphics department for shots so far) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16595-ktvu-getting-a-new-set/page/3/#findComment-217453 Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Block 1566 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 New backdrop for the 4-8am hours. It's no longer nighttime 24/7 at the Golden Gate Bridge. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16595-ktvu-getting-a-new-set/page/3/#findComment-227356 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFTV 526 Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 They’ve been using that daytime backdrop for their promos when they debuted the new set. 7 months later they now finally realize to implement it onto the set.
