KNSD in newsroom

[Bsean 152]

Not sure what's going on at KNSD today, when I watched at 11a they only were only doing one up close single shot, but still in studio (Marianne was solo today). Now at 4p, they are anchoring from the newsroom, which they've never done since moving to this building.

 

Taking a guess, they could be installing new monitors around the studio. I was noticing some of the monitors in the 3x3 array had some monitors with screen burn.

Looks like it might end up as more of a refresh than an all-new set, but work is definitely underway.

Yeah, Catherine just mentioned on air that they are getting touchups done on their studio.

Steven Luke posted a video on his instagram and mentioned they were going to be out of the studio for 4 weeks or more. In the video he's walking to the studio and you can see brand new monitors in the boxes. Also, the AM newscast is using the Telemundo set since there is no newscasts at that time.

I can't tell if this is chroma key'ed or a real studio backdrop because the background seemed a bit too "high quality" but I don't see any chroma key flaws or tid bits of green... If this is green screened I think they're doing a great job lol...

If it was chroma keyed you might see the green reflection on the desk.

 

also it was mentioned they are using the Telemundo Studio for the morning newscasts

I thought they had just moved the desk from the main set into the newsroom, but this is a different desk all together.

So, KNSD's bug has a different logo than the desk, but the desk is supposedly newer. Why?

This is their secondary desk that they had in the main studio. It isn't used much, but it was originally used for the Live Desk when they moved into the building.

Well, the floor is done.

[Bsean 152]

There's a new desk!

Well, apparently they'll be back in the studio tomorrow. But also, he alluded to the fact that but everything is done. Hopefully it refers to the monitors. Hope they are upgrading the 5x1 window to one monitor and the same with the 3x3 array:

Doesn’t the new anchor desk seem much smaller than the previous one? You’d think they’d go with a bigger desk to give the anchors more distance. 

[TheSpeedKing 268]

They should be back in the studio today. Airchecks, please!

They are. But unfortunately due to COVID on air protocol, still haven't seen the desk. Seems they are playing with new color schemes for the light panels though. They've been using a blue to yellow gradient during midday whenever they do the monitor over the anchor's shoulder shot, and a blue to turquoise gradient for the afternoon.

[Bsean 152]

Ok, I've now seen the desk since both anchors are back at the desk... It's a major downgrade. I didn't get a pic, but it's just a plain desk with a huge grey panel in the front. No logo, no monitors, no nothing!

You can see the desk with a wire sticking out in front. Looks like it’s prewired for a curved monitor display like they have for the weather center desk. But yes such a sad downgrade. Looks like they spent more money on replacing the 3x3 monitor and not enough for a better desk.

It appears the anchor standing approach is moving across NBC O&Os.  From the view it appears this desk can accommodate both standing or sitting anchors.

[Bsean 152]

Excuse my mess. But yeah, it looks like it should have a monitor like the side desks.

A desk like that without a monitor, is just something contemporary.

[Bsean 152]

Update, monitor installed in main anchor desk. Also, 5x1 array behind desk has been replaced by a single display.

I guess something else is going on in the studio. Morning show was in the Telemundo studio. 4p in the newsroom. Dagmar at home.

Warranty already kicking in?

I like how they've started using the display behind the anchors to display graphics, like on Nightly News. It looks more polished then other stations I've seen do this. They've also been doing more stand-ups around the studio.

More in line with other NBC O&Os.  WNBC has been doing this for quite awhile.
