Certainly looks that way, although the main desk design looks to have been tweaked a little.

MikeBucc 29 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Some more pictures of what’s to come...looks like they’re changing the logo too if you look closely. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16998-wten-new-set/#findComment-223831 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnoxvilleTVFan 286 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I believe you are right on the new logo. They are working on this new set the same time WATE in Knoxville is working on theirs. But, it will be interesting to see who will debut their new set first. All I can tell you is this: Only time will tell.

lugnuts6 91 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I wonder if WLNS TV will have the same type set as WTEN !? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16998-wten-new-set/#findComment-223849 Share on other sites More sharing options...

By "current" do you mean "the overglossed Young vintage 2011 logo" or "the basic logo they've had in some form since 1986"? If you mean the former, I totally agree.

For WATE, it would have worked better if they placed the logo on the bottom right side of the "circle 6".

Breaking News 823 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Good for WTEN! Remember when WKRN, WTEN had those horrible Young Broadcasting HD sets? Even though Adam Young, bankrupt his own company. Young wasn't a bad company.

Compared to what it replaced (the 2000-11 set which came with the VDO WJBK/WMTW opens they used to death), it was an improvement. Did it age well versus that set? Even after Media General did some cosmetic work - replacing the Young-era projection screen with a video wall as seen in this thread - I can easily say no.

That 2000-11 set seem to look really big! It had all that space and more. Maybe it was the camera angles, and those Young-era projection screens were crap! Tsk, tsk, tsk!

Info Junkie 1286 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Speaking of that, I think this is the best WTEN has ever looked since the 2000 VDO look (before they got destroyed in 2005-2007).

Geoffrey 842 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 New studio looks nice and I'm sure it's an improvement for WTEN but I can't help but get the temporary set vibe from it, at least from the video in the previous post. I understand the corner thing but it looks like they're actually in a corner, and the fact that the anchors appear to be so close to the background doesn't help. Feels cramped to me. Those "Your Local News Leader" banners look like something you'd throw on some remote set... They're not even backlit. I do like the desk. Some stations slap a TV screen on the front of the desk and call it a day, which looks pathetic. This is not that and looks nice. Perhaps I need to see more but I'm not terribly impressed with what I see on this page.
