who?cares 254 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 It appears WPRI is on temporary digs. Take a look at this shot from yesterday. They are using this monitor for everything including two shots, then using the Chroma for weather. This is the set they were using on March 22nd.

AaronQ 282 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 So WPRI/WNAC showed a sneak peak of the said new set, with a rebrand and new graphics. They're launching a 4pm on September 9th. They'll be called "12 News Now", and it sounds like that they're gonna drop Newsforce in favor of Aerial. https://www.wpri.com/on-air/wpri-12-launches-12-news-now/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17864-wpri-new-set/#findComment-249782 Share on other sites More sharing options...

On their live stream page, it says it is News 12 Now at 10. Set is a big improvement, graphics, better but eh. Not sure this would siphon viewers from Sinclair's WJAR. Content will do that.

It is a good look. My first impression was of Sinclair's WPEC logo-wise, but it's a nice upgrade of their prior logo. I always hated the mixed case on "EYEwitness" and how the lowercase aligned with the uppercase. I wish stations like WKBN would have done the same as WPRI/WNAC, since it's their CBS package that airs on WYFX's newscasts.

KnoxvilleTVFan 286 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Here is a video including the new open. NOTE: WPRI is using the Nexstar FOX package. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17864-wpri-new-set/#findComment-249816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJClementeFan69 477 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 The logo/graphics are a downgrade from what they had before as far as I'm concerned. I'll never understand Nexstar's obsession with Aerial. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17864-wpri-new-set/#findComment-250075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRyan 560 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Overall I say it's a good upgrade for WPRI. But I think Newsforce has a superior sound to Aerial, at least when comparing those two. It's a bit odd watching them using the Fox pkg for a CBS station (notwithstanding newscasts on "Fox Providence"). But it seems to fit their branding well.
