rdtv 13 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 KTNV, the Scripps-owned ABC affiliate in Las Vegas, is readying a new set. Construction just started after Thanksgiving. Their outgoing set was built in 2014, which leaves KVVU as the only Vegas station without an updated studio — KLAS and KSNV both updated in 2016. KVVU last updated their main set in 2011. Some examples... Looks like even their chroma wall is out of action. Weather is done from a monitor.

MidwestTV 1232 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 That temporary getup looks pretty good. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16819-ktnv-getting-new-set/#findComment-218174 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Damn, that temporary setup is better than some actual news sets in some markets. I hope they'll hold onto it when the new studio is done, could make for a good aux set.

Webovision 202 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 that "temporary" setup is their "Breaking News Center" off in the corner of the newsroom... been there about 3 years now... weather is being done in front of the hole to the studio from the newsroom... the teal and wood panels on the left were installed when "valley view live" debut so they could hide the newsroom... interesting note: some segments from the morning blend are still being done in the studio... journal cheaped out on that building... there is only one studio... zero auxiliary space for production... no part of the building could fit that corner of the morning blend set except the studio... my money is on this being more of a refresh than a new set...

DesertNewsGeek 47 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 The previous Park Place set has been in existence since Journal moved into the new building. It has undergone several tweaks and refreshes after Scripps took ownership. We'll find out what's new behind the panel doors soon enough.

Weeters 1916 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 The Morning Blend was off today because the set is "near completion". On December 3rd, they did a little Behind the Scenes tour that showed the studio under construction. It looks like they might have pre-taped all the stuff that's been airing on the set this whole time. It doesn't look very impressive. One corner for news, one for Blend, and the former Weather set area is going to be a chroma wall for a virtual set. It looks like the 2x5 monitor wall is sticking around as well. Meh.

Yeah, can't say I'm blown away. Overall, the whole set doesn't really look that big. I'm assuming some sort of physical "weather center" will be built somewhere, and the virtual chroma area will be off in its own corner. Anyone else catch the ~yellow~ columns? I hope those are just protective covers, because... Yikes. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16819-ktnv-getting-new-set/#findComment-218655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1916 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 The yellow columns around that wall have been there, they just had additional accents on them. I would assume they were being stripped down to be resurfaced/painted.

MidwestTV 1232 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 The thing isn't even finished yet, wait till it actually debuts, geez. Everyone here thought the sneak peak of WISH's new digs were trash, then it actually got finished and debuted and everyone was wowed.

rdtv 13 Posted December 20, 2018 Author Share Posted December 20, 2018 Today's the day! KTNV debuted their new set at 11 AM. Photos from Justin Bruce on Twitter. Main desk: "Large monitor area": "Morning Blend" set and standup area: Secondary standup area: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16819-ktnv-getting-new-set/#findComment-218930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1916 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Not a bad set, but nothing really groundbreaking here. The monitors on the Morning Blend set are almost entirely useless during that show. In most shots, all you see are a few inches of the bottom. The background of that secondary standup area is... something else. All that orange really doesn't look great on the dark set. Maybe a newsroom refresh is on it's way and they'll open it back up after that.

Guest Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Is it just me or did they not invest in lighting for this new set? I like it, it's a very sterile set meaning it's not overly flashy but my God is it dark!

MidwestTV 1232 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 It doesn't look awful at all. Not the most flashy, but it'll serve its purpose well. It'd look great a small market. 12 hours ago, KentBrockman said: Is it just me or did they not invest in lighting for this new set?

NEOMatrix 1299 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 It's not a spectacular set, but it's not small market (better not be! Vegas' DMA rank is in the 40s). That being said, the lighting could be a little brighter but I guess Scripps wants to save on electricity so the sales weasels can have ice cold A/C.
