KARE- new opens

[GodfreyGR 652]

Noticed new opens tonight on KARE- not sure if it’s temporary for the Olympics, or (based on what we’ve seen from WXIA) if KARE is trying some of the new corporate look. Either way, nice update for them!
Music is currently a cut of NBC’s Olympics theme. A side part of the studio away from the main desk has been given a Parisian look, and was used for the majority of the newscasts tonight.

I'm sorry but I want to comment about NBC in general ...

 

It's very underwhelming, compared to the previous Olympic sets.  I hate to say this cuz I know NBC is America's Olympic Network but I am starting to hope that CBS or ABC should get a crack at it when the time comes.  NBC just doesn't care about the elegance of the Games.  The set should be over the top, the Olympic theme should play ... in it's entirety every night at the beginning of the evening broadcasts, preferably more times during the day ... uninterrupted ... and I'm sorry, I know that they want Gen X and Z to be interested, but having all these celebs as correspondents ... I just can't.  Jim McKay would NEVER have put up with that.  

 

Is the graphics nice?  Sure.  But everything else?  Very underwhelming.   if NBC wants to do some soul searching how to do this ... see the CBC for inspiration.  Sorry for the rant, just how I feel.
