A behind the scenes look at the new VR stage.  Pretty large so I guess they don’t have to “move” the scene around to make it look bigger.  Looks like it has two Artimo and a jib.

The technology is neat, but I don't really grasp how it improves upon forecast delivery as opposed to a nice physical set. Different cameras being used as the "window" in the rear of the set? Neat, but nothing that can't be done with a monitor or screen (and is already used on a fair number of sets as a backdrop). Weather conditions on the floor? Neat, as long as my location isn't obscured by someone standing on it. Also, even with the graphics, it still looks to me like the weather person is walking around a big empty warehouse.

There’s an interview in Variety with new GM Tim Weiland (who also continues to run KCNC) and his plans for KCAL/KCBS.
