Apparently it glitched so bad they couldn't put their morning newscast on the air. https://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2019/12/13/when-automation-does-automate I watched maybe a minute or so of the Facebook Live stream and the anchor Mike McDaniel litterally said they were going to make things up as they go along. Look I get it, the weather graphics wasn't working but come on, at least look somewhat professional, when I heard that I had to stop watching the stream 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/14/#findComment-237250 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1955 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) I do have a gripe. At the end of the open, I don't like how that music gets abruptly cut off like that. That's really tacky.

Anchors are on the interview/sports set. Weather duratrans have been changed to match the graphics package.

Seems like it's a lot like WSMV's last set refresh before their current one. Seeing as how Hattiesburg is market 160ish, this is a big move for them. How did WLOX get left out of the set upgrades when they were Gray'd? WDAM is uber-dominant in their market, and pretty sure that WLOX still dominates WXXV down on the coast. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17000-the-ever-evolving-gray-graphics-situationthread/page/14/#findComment-237827 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got new backdrops a few years ago but the studio itself is probably from 2009-11 timeframe.

PelicanGuy 117 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) I feel WVUE will be unveiling a new look very soon...maybe even tonight after the Super Bowl. Their latest "Local First" promo hints at it.
