Working4You 40 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Gone is the set that LIN Media installed a few years ago. In is a new set, very different looking than the typical Nexstar "Set-In-A-Box". https://www.cbs42.com/news/local/cbs-42-unveils-new-state-of-the-art-studio/1992816969 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17128-wiat-cbs-42-unveils-new-studio/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSSZNews 1051 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 There's an obvious CBS This Morning influence, especially in the desk, but it looks really nice and probably feels quite large on-air.

who?cares 254 Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 This is *the* nicest set in Birmingham. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17128-wiat-cbs-42-unveils-new-studio/#findComment-226119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTheJ 90 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I hope that WPRI in Providence will get a similar set next time an update occurs in regards to both set and graphics. Hopefully, WPRI will use the CBS gfx, but likely, it'll be the generic Nexstar gfx used by WIVB, WBRE/WYOU, and KRON.

Probably the CBS graphics but with Red accents instead of yellow or orange (WCIA).

tyrannical bastard 3951 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 This is an impressive set in itself, and by WBMG/WIAT standards puts them on a whole new level. Well done Nexstar. It looks like they are partnering with an Arkansas-based company called Schroeder Enterprises for many of their new sets. Lance Schroeder is mentioned in the WIAT article, and searches show that he was behind the set work at KCAU and KOLR. Looking at this, he was also likely tasked with reworking WKRG's set into its current configuration. A lot of the design additions are similar...

NEOMatrix 1299 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Nice set for Birmingham. Hopefully, we can sound the all-clear and say that Nexstar is finally over its use of Daleks on the set.

Guest Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 The selling point of that entire set is the archway. I mean my God, that's a gorgeous archway. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17128-wiat-cbs-42-unveils-new-studio/#findComment-226160 Share on other sites More sharing options...
