cfs89 4 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Sneak peek at the set for the new 10am "Daytime Chicago" daily show with Tonya Francisco and Amy Rutledge that launches next month. Looks like it's in the historic Studio 1 where Bozo's Circus was taped from 1961-2001. https://twitter.com/thederekhaas/status/1428105448180301828 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18457-wgn-tv-daytime-chicago-set/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me of the new Fox 5 DC studio - I wonder if the designer was the same.

MidwestTV 1232 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Honestly looks better than what WGN News is using. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18457-wgn-tv-daytime-chicago-set/#findComment-263834 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexstar’s in-house designers are now on the level of the big shots. It took a while to get there but there is no denying KHON, this set and the new one for Charlotte is a great move in the right direction. And they are not cookie cutter sets anymore. Every set has LED walls. So now, they are getting creative to where other set pieces go to differentiate.

Medianext.MX 50 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I am so surprised this is a Nexstar in-house design. Really surprised. That set has lots of elements inspired by the NewsNation Network set, as well as some inspiration from Clickspring/Provost. The days they began to do so set-in-a-box designs with the infamous Dalek Desk are really long away, as they learned from the designs FX made for KOIN, WFLA and KRON, and from that, they succesfully achieved up their game with their own elements. As you said, this set, along with the KHON and WJZY sets, has been the best Nexstar designers have done. I hope they do something similar at Studio 2 for WGN's newscasts, as the BDI set is really starting to get dated.
