Greggo 358 Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Something is up at NBC 5 DFW. Maybe a new desk before the Olympics? They’ve got one news anchor wedged in a tiny corner of the set, standing the entire show. The other anchor is in the newsroom. Sports anchor is at his house. So is the meteorologist. This has been going on a few days now.
Georgie56 3318 Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 It's social distancing due to Omicron.
Al-SA-TX 54 Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 I can confirm KXAS is getting a refresh. Just in time for sweeps, the Winter Olympics, and the Super Bowl. It should debut soon.
susquvalleywgal 520 Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Don't know what else needs to be done to that set. It's already pretty nice. -- Matt
MorningNews 1483 Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 I do hate the desk though. I’m hoping they get something more curved.
ScottSchell 370 Posted February 2, 2022 Posted February 2, 2022 Anchors still aren’t on a desk but the NBC5 Weather Experts got a small curved desk and they took down the glass wall in the weather center.
Al-SA-TX 54 Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 There was a soft launch on Friday after the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics. Here are some angles from Inside High School Sports.
MorningNews 1483 Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 From what we’ve seen so far, this is a huge improvement on an already great set. Bravo.
ref1997 59 Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 Feels a bit like WNBC... everyone's standing eh...
24994J 5621 Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 At least it looks about the right height to be able to add chairs, if they ever change their minds. Looks miles better than the cheap-ass plexiglass unit WNBC uses.
MorningNews 1483 Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 Somehow it’s even worse than the other desk which I didn’t like. Standing anchors at a desk doesn’t look good at any station that does it.

jrogo 196 Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Newscast Studio has a really good article about the new set. One thing to note is; Jack Morton created the new set, the same designer of the NBCU Boston Media Center sets, which KXAS’ closely resembles, seems NBC has found its core design for O&O sets. https://www.newscaststudio.com/2022/02/15/kxas-new-set-2022/
MorningNews 1483 Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 Really great studio. Probably easily the best in Texas.
Guest Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 Meanwhile, KDFW is still on a set from two decades ago.
