I’m a news junkie..so what 42 Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I'm so glad East High got that set. They really need a good studio. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/18560-watnwlmt-remodel/page/2/#findComment-276104 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennTV1983 804 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 My guess is the new setup will be along the lines of what KTHV, WCNC, and (to an extent) KARE all received recently.

You're not missing much. It's your typical TEGNA set, albeit with some modifications.

The desk design is different, and there's a lot of "industrial" framing in various areas of the new set. Other than that, it's no different from the other TEGNA stations that received the Jack Morton/PDG/blackwalnut/Joe Lamberta design.

TennTV1983 804 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I definitely noticed the community names. The added beams on the set are a nice touch and a nod to the three bridges (Memphis-Arkansas/1-55, Frisco, & Harahan) on the southern end of downtown Memphis.

ChrisInCanada 0 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Kinda WMC with the video wall behind them and Fox13 with their weather center to the left. WREG for the win!

Kudos to them trying to not look as cookie cutter and uninspired as the other Tegna looks. Tegna really struggles with studio creativity. They're all so sterile.
