who?cares 253 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 WTTV is on a temporary set. It’s more like random walls decorated with stone, and a couple of newsroom shots. It’ll be interesting to see what Nexstar comes up with. The WTTV studio is SMALL. Prior to becoming CBS4, Studio B was home to Hoosier Lottery , which was shoved into a conference room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Nexstar kept it and tossed WISH into the bin, but Indy could use some decent ownership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I'm sure it will be similar to, if not is, what WJZY got. That set design (which started with something similar at KHON) is meant to go in small studio spaces. Then again, only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do understand that this is a national trend, right? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A trend for sure, but with the fact that Sinclair is broke, Nexstar is deliberately lowering the rankings of their stations, and both are over the cap, I think that their stations are ripe for divestment. 90% to the PE vultures, 10% to the networks.

IndyNewsOpens 83 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) Or they could get a new building. They've been at Network Place at Park 100 since 2005 (when WTTV/WXIN moved out of their even smaller facility on Meridian), but I think that's unlikely.

who?cares 253 Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 Ive been told they did a 12 foot addition to the back of the studio. The set is being designed by BDI. CBS4 Traffic Anchor Justin Kollar may have just given us our first preview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLNewsExpert 309 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Ah man I actually like there set, yes it's SMALL but they made it work for that market. Hopefully they take full advantage of that 12 foot add on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who?cares 253 Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 The new set debuted at Noon on Wednesday. I'm told it's designed by BDI. https://cbs4indy.com/video/behind-the-scenes-tour-the-new-cbs4-studio/7674679/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Who starts a timelapse when the thing is 90% built and they're only making final adjustments? Anyway, it looks good given what a small space they have. Crazy to me that the green screen is hidden behind a sliding wall. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC 7 Denver 1552 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Why couldn't they have modified the previous set? This is such a money suck from the Creative budget. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycnewsjunkie 1407 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 To the person at Nexstar Creative Services who keeps insisting on shoving the desk in the corner: You can stop now. We’ve seen enough. BDI has done much better work in the past (including the previous WTTV set if I’m not mistaken.) This new set’s a bit of a let down imho, but if it gives them a bit more space, it works. I just wish Nexstar would focus their investments on their stations’ journalistic output instead of throwing money at replacing a set that still looked pretty good. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greggo 340 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 The smooshed CBS4 logo behind the desk looks awful. If you’re gonna spend all that money, come on! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re gonna spend all that money, come on! It's supposed to be a timing pylon similar to the one at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It looked cool when they had fake results on it. But, it just looks weird most of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sendir 192 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) Naw. I love the pylon LCDs. You can quickly see how the pylon will be used as a screen between the anchors for subject graphics. Edited June 7, 2022 by Sendir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
