Dan Devlin 46 Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 Packing up and getting ready to load out another set headed for Alabama next week...keep on trucking Team DDG!!!
tyrannical bastard 4028 Posted July 7, 2020 Author Posted July 7, 2020 I'm wondering if this is going to be a Devlin job? AFAIK, no one else in Alabama is getting a new set at this time. Usually Gray (and Raycom) have been FX customers for their jobs, and some of the legacy Gray stations still have, for the most part, their standard-issue Gil Jimenez sets (with technical upgrades). The only Devlin set at a Gray station I can recall is at KCRG, and this was before Gray bought them in 2015.

Birmingham has really stepped up the set game and hopefully this will compete with WIAT and WVTM.

tyrannical bastard 4028 Posted July 8, 2020 Author Posted July 8, 2020 Devlin never disappoints with their sets, I too look forward to what's in the works!
Dan Devlin 46 Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Yep, our first set for Gray TV...just putting the finishing touches on it, truck is rolling tomorrow!
Yankees4life 563 Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 Hopefully, this means the end of those horrid Raycom brick graphics

who?cares 255 Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 It’s a fun drive up the mountain. Beautiful view.

That view overlooking the entire city is something else. WBRC has a decent amount of studio space too - so I'm pretty pumped for what their set will look like.

BRC was one of those legacy Raycom stations that had its own art department - at least as of a few years ago - but who knows today. If VizRT is part of the upgrade, my guess is they'll get something standard.
dalekusa 0 Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 The new-look WBRC is set to launch tomorrow. just in time for Janet Hall's last week.
ALnewsguy 0 Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Love the First Alert weather center, the anchor desk will take getting used to....the graphics however, not a fan. The lower thirds are sometimes hard to read and aren’t bold enough. Weather graphics are ok.... Definitely a downgrade from the previous package. Also wish they would have gone with a different music package, something more upbeat.

Shaun 2 Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Love the set... curious as to how the morning show sit downs and music setups will look like. Seems they have some portable screens off in the corner to move around. As for the graphics, I like them a lot besides that ticker. I feel like the time and temp is just thrown in there. Wish there was a clean cut rectangle there instead of a point. The weather graphics aren't the greatest but I think they will grow on me.
