ABC 7 Denver 1715 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 A new wall recently went cutting off some areas of the studio and reducing the space that meteorologists have to work in. I asked one of the meteorologists about it. Here's our conversation: I'll let you know as more news becomes available.

WCX-TV 17 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Thats interesting to hear. In the last few years they've had a few set up dates including the back monitor wall behind the news desk and in the weather center and when the pandemic started the minor updates to the desk for social distancing. Can't wait to see what it will look like. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18252-nbc6-sf-getting-new-set/#findComment-258896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner 216 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Off-topic but I'd like to think of Steve MacLaughlin as kind and jovial as he comes off as on-screen, so it's nice to see him share some details, though I know you both could be friends. Anyways, going off the trends at KNBC, WBTS, and especially WNBC/WCAU, etc. -- they've all vastly increased the use of standing and huge screens to illustrate their point, with KNBC using AR as well. WTVJ seemed due for a refresh with their multiple desks and chroma key so I'm excited to see the changes. Wondering if KXAS might be next, given they hardly sit at the desk anymore.

NowBergen 681 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 WNBC anchors mostly stand now and use the full screen for graphics. It actually works out. When Lester Holt is in the studio, he is mostly standing now too. The only show with some sitting is Today in New York which is 3 hours long.

MorningNews 1448 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Yeah I’ve noticed that Lester stands for the entirety of NN. Oddly the shot often has the empty desk in the background with Lester standing in front of it.

Amra 171 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 The dismantling of the MF/MM era. Sad though, their studio was really good though. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18252-nbc6-sf-getting-new-set/#findComment-258926 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 2415 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Okay, so this is interesting and Steve is actually *kinda* right. WTVJ's set debuted in 2012 so its almost 10 years old at this point and while the monitors are great and all, it is starting to get dated already. Let's see what WTVJ comes up with but I don't expect any changes to its music or its graphics.

Basically since 2008 they've refreshed the graphics every 4 years around the Olympics. Since Tokyo didn't happen last year due to the pandemic I'd suspect changes would be in order this year. Especially since they're getting a new set. This is the first O&O to show any signs of change. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

jbnews 344 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I am going to scream if they get rid of their music. If they want new music -- commission an update. Problem solved.

I could see them doing a phased roll out between the Summer Olympics and the Super Bowl/Winter Olympics. I wonder if the recently redesigned weather graphics are any indication of what a new look would look like or if they would do something completely different.

SFTV 526 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Well hopefully it will be a major refresh since it’s overdue. CBS on the other hand is going thru the failed “NBC Look E” phase with its CBSN Graphics mish mashing on its O&O’s Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18252-nbc6-sf-getting-new-set/#findComment-259022 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every other piece has been replaced a handful of times. The weather center is on its 2nd/3rd incarnation (a refresh followed by complete) replacement), the anchor backdrop went from a 3x3 to the "windows" to the current seamless video wall, and the sports/standup area has been refreshed or remodeled at least twice, if not more. A new desk would finally complete the overhaul. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18252-nbc6-sf-getting-new-set/#findComment-259052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaZone4K 2176 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 WNBC next hopefully! Their 2016 update was not an upgrade. Studio 3K looks like a very downscaled version of Studio 3C which looked vastly superior.

' Actually you have that backwards. 3C is half the size of 3K (1310 vs. 2668) based on NBC Universal's studio website. By moving to 3K, they expanded the weather center and widened the main anchor area. They are also able to show full studio views, something they could not do in 3K. Yes, they kept the same basic look as 3C when they flipped studios with Nightly News, but expanded the space. They do need to update the studio with more full height video walls now that the anchors mostly stand. https://universalstudioslot.com/nyc-stages Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18252-nbc6-sf-getting-new-set/#findComment-259077 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaZone4K 2176 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 My choice of words threw it off. When I say downscaled I mean emptier. 3K kept the basic look of 3C, minus a couple of the elements that made 3C look good.

WCX-TV 17 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Last night they began broadcasting from their temp set. Looks to be a new desk with what looks to be a 3x3 monitor wall behind. They have a stand up position as well with what looks to be the old blue wall from the wx center and a tv on a pole. ** As of this afternoon the stand up area with the pole has been replaced Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18252-nbc6-sf-getting-new-set/#findComment-260412 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be interesting to see whether WRC newscasts may move into old Meet The Press studio and Telemundo newscasts gets WRC current studio space. I guess we may wait and see.
