Daybreak 294 Posted September 27, 2022 Posted September 27, 2022 Well that’s a surprising change. Just that set…whew
appleachian 135 Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 The overall presentation makes me think they use WTVD as a template. The set is new I guess. They just moved to a new building - the old WZRB building - but I don’t know if they took the old set with them or built something new.
abric 186 Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 The open reminds me of the same one used on wccb in Charlotte. at :22 seconds.
Samantha 2905 Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 The set in the former Roberts building does indeed reuse many elements from the former set. They moved in April.

So they moved news to a new building (assuming rent is much cheaper there than it was at their downtown location) and the old Shakespeare Drive building is used for everything else? Or is everything now under one roof? Did they also build a new control room in Columbia as well as that continue to be done out of WCCB?

They left earlier this year as that building is under renovation to become high end housing or something. They even closed the long time underground dive bar The Whig just last week that was directly underneath the studio.
