susquvalleywgal 520 Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 And WGAL still is waiting. Sigh. — Matt
JacobC 44 Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Yes finally KCCI could get some new digs. I hope my other Florida station WPBF will follow suit as well.
rkolsen 1685 Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 That desk definitely looks like the kind they would roll out at trade shows or events. Is that a real backdrop or windows?
qunewsguy 378 Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Looks like they're using the interview area designed by Z Space. http://www.zspacecreative.com/kcci
TSSZNews 1052 Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Aside from the desk, I think that set would work just fine in normal use!
dman748 1256 Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 I'd be willing to bet a dollar that KCCI will get what other Hearst stations such as KHBS/KHOG, KOAT, and KOCO have received in recent months
Oliverolang 41 Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 I wouldn’t be surprised if they went back to their roots of using their newsroom as the main set again. Sister stations WPBF and WLKY have newsroom sets.

Hmm you might need WXII too…they also have a working newsroom too as their main set WITH anchor chairs for them to sit amid standing in the middle of the set. Hope their next too that I forgot to mention earlier

Sister stations WPBF and WLKY have newsroom sets. There's no way. Every Hearst station's set refresh has been a variant of the same design. Big monitor wall behind the desk, then variations of other monitors on the sides. WESH, KETV, WISN, KOCO, KCRA, KMBC...

I will say, despite being derivatives of a common design, the sets manage to be unique enough to fit the station, unlike the Quincy copycat set-in-a-box model where every station has literally the same set.

WLKY had their set overhaul not too long ago (2015 i think?) and it was still a nod to the Newsroom set. they JUST put the Monitor Array on the right side of the newsroom not too long ago.

You'll start to see this more and more as graphic hubs are starting to dictate the large display ratio layouts throughout the set, so they can in turn create universal graphics & templates that will work for all of their stations. The creativity, or in some cases the lack thereof, will speak for itself...cookie cutter or unique. You decide!
LOWERCASE GUY 274 Posted August 30, 2019 Author Posted August 30, 2019 I hate to bump this one up, but does anyone know the status of KCCI's set? They are still on their interview set as of this afternoon.
Kyle R 46 Posted August 30, 2019 Posted August 30, 2019 Launch got delayed but it should go live shortly after Labor Day.
AJClementeFan69 477 Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 https://www.kcci.com/article/tour-the-new-kcci-news-set/28897985 The latest Hearst set. Looks to have a CBS theme (with the Cronkite world map and all) rather than a location theme like WVTM.
LOWERCASE GUY 274 Posted September 4, 2019 Author Posted September 4, 2019 Looks like it debuted!! https://www.kcci.com/article/tour-the-new-kcci-news-set/28897985

I just watched the story on the new set on KCCI's YouTube channel and Eric Hanson (the morning anchor) said that it actually debuted on Labor Day on the Noon newscast.
AJClementeFan69 477 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 https://www.newscaststudio.com/2019/09/04/kcci-new-set/ Bit of a surprise here...unlike nearly all of the other new Hearst sets, Devlin didn't design this one. Z Space Creative did.
MidwestTV 1240 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Big fan of that weather center and BAM getup.
