newsn8te 200 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 In a comment on their Facebook page, WEHT/WTVW has “some exciting changes” coming soon. Not sure if it’s a new set or a refresh, but they’re on a temporary set in the newsroom. Their current set is a refreshed version of the standard Nexstar set that was built in 2011 when WEHT and WTVW combined their newsrooms. They redid the stand-up area and added the red window thing with the a new duratran behind Brad when they went HD in 2012.

who?cares 254 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 It’s a completely new set. I have a buddy who works there. They’re getting new graphics too— I haven’t been told which package though.

LOWERCASE GUY 262 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I wonder if they will get the Dalek set, or WISH'D. Any guesses? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17161-wtvwweht-new-set/#findComment-227074 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like WISH style set better than the dalek set. Hopefully Nexstar goes with the WISH look at WTVW/WEHT, and has plans for set makeovers at additional stations.

who?cares 254 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Maybe it'll look like the WIAT set. I have no idea, I haven't been told, but that is one of my favorite sets of the year (so far).

JacobC 44 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hmm well that’s unique to see WEHT Local/Local 7 WTVW in the newsroom, hope to get a duplicate of that semi-circle news desk like other Nexstar stations.

evv_mlis 22 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Anyone heard any updates?

Darius22 122 Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 They are likely to get all original graphics along with that new set, we'll see what happens. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17161-wtvwweht-new-set/#findComment-229026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsn8te 200 Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 They’re not getting original graphics. They’re using the ABC graphics (at least on WEHT). Found a rehearsal video. New eyewitness news logo, WEHT local is now ABC25. Here’s the video. Haven’t found anything on Local 7.

newsn8te 200 Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 The set is alright. Kind of a little bland. The weather center is bare and the anchor set just seems off center. The eyewitness news news logo is okay but the 25 logo seen here and the 7 logo on the desk is horrible. I could’ve done better. Peronsally, I think this is a downgrade from their old look.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 That "7" is the same font as the "25" logo. They could've either kept the old "7" logo or use a fatter 7 to fit that box. Wonder what the branding is going to be vocally on WTVW. "Local 7", "CW 7"?

Samantha 2895 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 The CW logo was not designed for that application at all. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17161-wtvwweht-new-set/#findComment-229164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOWERCASE GUY 262 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 The set looks like a very bastardized version of the WISH set.

Peronsally, I think this is a downgrade from their old look. This was only a rehearsal, remember. The desk has TV monitors so it's likely they just didn't switch the logo out for the proper one. I agree that the weather center is barren. That step off to the right, is that the working area off screen? Regardless, there is more than enough room there to have added another TV or two. The wall with the Eyewitness News logo...man...there was so much potential there. It just doesn't work. Honestly, my biggest gripe is the echo. Is this because it's a rehearsal, or is the studio not sound proof? If it's the latter it needs fixed asap.

Haven’t found anything on Local 7. at first i thought they would because of their affiliations (because CW doesnt have its own dedicated graphics like the Big 4.) but then i realized ABC so Nexstar's ABC graphics. and they don't look bad either and i can agree with the logos they are ok.

evv_mlis 22 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 I'm so glad "WEHT Local" is no longer going to be a thing. Saying ABC25 and CW7 makes so much more sense. Lots of rehearsal videos on their official YouTube channel. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17161-wtvwweht-new-set/#findComment-229220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.R. 90 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Actually, WEHT was "ABC 25" during the "News 25" Gilmore times between 1996 until the early 2000's before Nextar bought the station. Good to know that WEHT is "ABC 25" again. CW 7, not bad by the way.
