CLT-DCA-ORF-PTI 87 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Awesome. I feel like they have had the same set since I was in college (back in like 05-06) so it is definitely about time. Glad to see they went the local route like WGHP! Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17887-wxii-new-set/#findComment-248054 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dman748 1256 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Looks like Devlin is working on the set for WXII per the article. I suspect it'll be something similar to some of the sets other Hearst stations have gotten (i.e. KOCO, WVTM, KOAT) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17887-wxii-new-set/#findComment-248055 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 915 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Besides WGAL, which Hearst stations are left that could use an update?? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17887-wxii-new-set/#findComment-248059 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRyan 560 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 The first impression I get from that promo is perhaps they will still use a newsroom backdrop in some form. Should be interesting to see the finished product when it debuts. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17887-wxii-new-set/#findComment-248092 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even further than that... it debuted on 9/11. Here's the story on the new set... just unveiled on the noon newscast: https://www.wxii12.com/article/winston-salem-north-carolina-wxii-coronavirus-anchor-set/33300403# And here's the promotional video: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17887-wxii-new-set/#findComment-248322 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 804 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Free Lance Staging usually does a lot of contractual work for BDI on their set builds. I wonder if this was the first time they've been contracted to do a build on Devlin's behalf.

susquvalleywgal 517 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 That set, even though it is now like a Hearst-Set-In-A-Box is very nice. I love the anchor and weather desk. WGAL needs this like now. I think they have been in Studio B since 2004 in it's current studio. -- Matt Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17887-wxii-new-set/#findComment-248329 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was our first project with DDG and thankfully our friends at WXII were keen on having us involved as the work was much appreciated during these times... I hope everyone likes the set!

TexasTVNews 1377 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I have to say this. The Hearst (Argyle)'s set-in-a-box are way better than Tegna's set-in-a-box. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17887-wxii-new-set/#findComment-248331 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That set is so nice. 2. Crazy to think that their old set got debut on the day of the 9/11 attacks 3. I gotta stop reading Facebook comments.

rkolsen 1684 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 What was there temporary setup like? The teaser made it look like it was in its own studio but the construction area showed its the open newsroom.

They made changes here and there throughout the years but it was largely the same set for nearly 20 years. I'm thinking it debuted the morning of the attacks, I can't imagine rolling it out at night. 3.
