TampaBowler 51 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 One of the anchors posted on FB showing the lights being turned out on the current set. It looks like Nexstar is going to give them a new set. I'm assuming graphics will stay the same considering it a was a fairly recent change.

tyrannical bastard 3951 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Their current set is basically the same FX one all the Media General stations had in the 2000s, except built new again with Television Park 2.0?

TampaBowler 51 Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 I have it on good authority that the wall separating the WJBF studio and the former WAGT studio will come down. This means the new studio will be about 70% larger post renovation.

I mean, every square inch of the expanded studio space they can to maximize its usage.

who?cares 254 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I wonder if those are actual monitors, or if they're duratrans? Interesting a station in Augusta, GA would get the same treatment as a station in San Francisco, California.

WFLA and KRON also have a similar background. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18327-wjbf-getting-new-set/#findComment-264745 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightJunkie 55 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Pictures taken from Anchors Renetta Dubose, Shawn Cabbagestalk, and Jenna Petracci's FB pages. Looks like they did a soft launch of the set this weekend. Incredibly impressive for the Augusta market, to say the least. Cookie cutter set or not, Augusta viewers will be impressed. Also an incredible advancement for WJBF and amazing when you look at what they were broadcasting from just 18 or so years ago. (even though the vid is dated 2002, This set at their former home of 1001 Reynolds lasted until 2004) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18327-wjbf-getting-new-set/#findComment-264750 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medianext.MX 50 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Really liking the new set. This proves how the Lance Schroeder-led Nexstar design team has learned from the FX sets and improved to do more professional set designs which clearly are miles away from the infamous Dalek Desk designs, and more in-line with other videowall-led sets. I hope this will be the case with other sets being designed by them (except for many of the sets for the bigger markets, which are being mostly outsourced to FX).

TampaBowler 51 Posted September 13, 2021 Author Share Posted September 13, 2021 I am very impressed with this set. This far exceeds the new set at WRDW. Certainly doesn't look like something you'd find in the Augusta market.

extvtog 4 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Wow, thanks for posting the link. It does look much better and it looks like they have some robotic pedestals too. Actually, I saw a video posted that they have gone to full robotic pedestals that can move around the studio. Pretty impressive for that market.
