FmrENCNewser 21 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Nearly two years after a hurricane took away their set and facility, WCTI will roll out their new set at 5 p.m. Monday. They put out a preview video and, despite the creative editing, it looks like a big improvement for them and the market. For those with FB, here's a link to the video: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17748-wcti-rolling-out-new-set-monday-at-5-pm/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3951 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Could this also mean a full switch to the Sinclair on-air look? They've had the J-Bar for a while now with the old Bonten graphics....

FmrENCNewser 21 Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 I guess we'll see in about an hour. I haven't watched their newscasts lately so I wasn't sure if any of the graphics were new this morning. With the tropical storm off the coast, they went ahead and had their morning met broadcast from the new weather center. They didn't give us a look at the rest of the set though.

FiveNews 372 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Did they move to a new building as well? Or did they make improvements to the existing building in hopes that a flood event doesn't happen in the future?

FmrENCNewser 21 Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 In the same building, I believe. They just gutted it and rebuilt everything from the ground up. Not sure what they did to try and prevent a flood event in the future. From the promo they just aired, it looks like new graphics package.
