Well let's look at it this way, how long did it take for WDAF to have their new set renovated and completed from start to finish?
C Block 1566 Posted January 27, 2019 Posted January 27, 2019 FTV Live reported this a few weeks ago. That small market set has never looked right.

Or they're just going to let it sit completed for a few weeks so they can launch it as a sweeps stunt on April 25th, when May sweeps start. Stations really rather do that then rush to get off a temporary set.

C Block 1566 Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 KDVR's temporary set looks...familiar. The only time KDVR can't use KWGN's studio is in the morning, when KDVR decamps to the newsroom set. Aside from the poor lighting, I don't think the newsroom set has looked this good since when Fox first built the building.
DENDude 221 Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 CBlock: They only added the newsroom set in 2008 after they were purchased by Local TV, LLC. In prep for the move of KWGN into the KDVR studio facility. Prior to that the newsroom was very rarely seen. The newsroom set always seemed tacky to me, and the lighting seemed misplaced, it diffidently didn't have the same feel as say WTVT's newsroom set. I hope they get a bigger desk in the studio this go around.

It was not used for much other than topicals and the occasional breaking news from what I remember. I can't find any evidence online other than the video below, but it did have an anchor desk that was similar to the one in the studio, a few cameras, and a secondary weather/traffic area. It also had a big ring of tube TVs strung all the way around. The best analogue for what it looked like is KRIV's newsroom set. Both KRIV and KDVR's buildings were completed at similar times and have similar layouts. KRIV, KDVR, and KTTV also all had very similar BDI sets in the early 2000s.
C Block 1566 Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 Look what I was able to find via the Wayback Machine!
Al-SA-TX 54 Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Seems kind of small, but impressive none-the-less.
C Block 1566 Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Huge improvement from before. But can we *please* stop with the fake brick look already? No set has ever pulled it off.
TSSZNews 1052 Posted March 27, 2019 Posted March 27, 2019 Found in the FB comments: " Keep Chris Parente far away from this one!"
ABC 7 Denver 1729 Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 Here are some larger versions of the pictures:
C Block 1566 Posted April 12, 2019 Posted April 12, 2019 Huge upgrade, though KWGN’s 2000 set from pencilogic still pulled off the LoDo loft look a lot better than this.
Dallastvguy 2 Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 This is a great improvement to the previous! I worked here in 2005-09 and production was sparse this is really nice.,
DENDude 221 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 According to Facebook the new studio & set will Debut at 11AM during the FOX31 NEWS @ 11. This desk looks small too, like their old one.
TexasTVNews 1378 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 The new set looks beautiful! TEGNA needs to pay attention to the Tribune soon-to-be Nexstar stations that THIS is what real news sets is all about, not some set-in-a-box.

LOWERCASE GUY 280 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 I think they are one of a few stations to successfully pull off the Brick look! Looks slick!

It doesn't match any look or feel in Denver. We aren't that industrial. It feels sparse and small market. I can see that they recycled a lot of the monitors. This isn't isn't going to wear well. I give them a 4/10 for effort, but the branding has gone down the toilet. The Fox Box is dated and doesn't have any cache is Denver. Joan Barrett needs to go. She's bringing Wichita values to Denver. They don't mesh.

I think the set is beautiful, but I've never been to Denver, so I can't judge how well it fits the market.

They don't mesh. I mostly agree. The problem is the brick and white framing. Replace the brick with something more blocky and more mountain-like and the look is improved. The main problem is the white framing.
