TheRob 938 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 KCTV began broadcasting from its control room Monday. They should have a re-designed set in time for November sweeps. https://twitter.com/JoeChiodo/status/1176183220796362754 https://twitter.com/ErinKCTV5/status/1176136679738023937 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17325-kctv-new-set/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1234 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 The current get up was ok, but never spectacular. It was weird always having a nighttime skyline during the middle of the day. It was fine for the time, but lacked the versatility of the other 3.

It seems tiny and cramped, although it looks less washed out than it used to be. WALA's goes back to 2012, it was an FX job under Lin and refreshed in 2017 with their current graphics. Of course, there's Atlanta....why not blow them up yet again and give the old set to one of their more needy stations?

There's no telling which Meredith stations could be next in line for set makeover. I'd say KVVU looks to be due for a makeover, and I'd imagine them getting KPHO/WSMV set too. What stands out on the KPHO/WSMV set is the main anchor desk having what looks like a popped out LED box ticker display. It'll be interesting to see whether KCTV gets that too.

Now will I say the big three in Vegas are crappy sure but I mean it's better than what Entravision done KINC in Las Vegas.

KLAS used to have hard news stories and sound production values before Uncle Perry took the wheel. KVVU excels at its take on localism in the news, and they deserve a new set to go with it.

TheRyan 560 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Can't speak to the work environment at KLAS, but I think their graphics/set elements are far better under Nexstar (compared to the final years under Landmark). Off-topic here, I realize, but felt I should mention that. But I agree that KVVU could use a new set. WHNS in Greenville-Spartanburg could use a new set, as well.

I wonder what the hold up is, it literally only took a month for WSMV to get the new set. Their studio must have needed a lot of extra work (floors replacing, etc.). Principally, the set design was done and installed in less than a week. Unless they're still rehearsing or fine-tuning, or like I said they had some construction setbacks, it shouldn't be taking this long. In fact, the set people should have been at KCTV since the last week of construction at WSMV ended, which was about two months ago this week.

Definitely a good look for Kansas City. KSHB now has the most dated getup (2014).

Guest Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Set is EXACTLY what WSMV got, right down to the weather center. It’s also layout wise exactly the same. I am noticing the lighting isn’t very good on KCTV’s set, may need some adjustments because from the videos I saw the people are very dark. There’s also some issues with the video marquee boards (on the desk and in the weather center header) and you can tell the video in those was not formatted correctly since the logos are stretched. Honestly, that set should not have taken as long as it did to go on the air to have the issues they have with lighting and the other aesthetics.

TheRob 938 Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 When we watched at noon Tuesday, KCTV used just two standing shots, plus weather. They didn't do a good job showing it off.
