BluesNews 183 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Looks like WOLO has dropped their longtime "ABC Columbia" brand in favor of "ABC 25 Columbia". https://abccolumbia.com Looks like this is really new, so not everything has changed over yet. They did get new graphics and the new music is Stream by SAM. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daybreak 269 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Well that’s a surprising change. Just that set…whew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleachian 128 Posted September 28, 2022 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2878 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 The set in the former Roberts building does indeed reuse many elements from the former set. They moved in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, I'm confused. 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
