sfomspphl 490 Posted December 1, 2024 Share Posted December 1, 2024 (edited) After 25+ years, the new KUSI set is in service https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1338842107280213 https://www.instagram.com/p/DDBlmNZRvMC/ https://www.instagram.com/p/DDAFb8DvKXI/ I like the use of the header above to add some depth and the look fits KUSI. Camera blocking is still pretty bare bones - just straight on shots with the skyline in the background for the close ups, so you don't see much of the variety of the sides of the set on air unless they're doing a 4 shot. KSWB will move into the KUSI building when its studio is finished. No change to the graphics or music...would have thought that would happen along the new set. So maybe they'll keep the pre Nexstar look going that's comfortable to so many viewers. Recent promos have been doubling down on the star /red white and blue, classic KUSI look with a 'Putting You First' slogan, so that leans toward no big changes in the look. A few months ago they changed the typeface on the lower thirds and added a ticker, but that was the extent of it. https://www.instagram.com/p/DCsO2gESkMx/ Viewer feedback in the Facebook post is spicy, less about the set, more about shifts in the story selection and guests after Nexstar acquired. I think they're still #1 in the 10/11pm slot. Edited December 1, 2024 by sfomspphl 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21586-kusi-new-set/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaZone4K 2165 Posted December 2, 2024 Share Posted December 2, 2024 Definitely an improvement over what they previously had. The KUSI logo however still looks cheap, like a fake social media page logo. 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21586-kusi-new-set/#findComment-301923 Share on other sites More sharing options...

At bare minimum, it looks like it belongs to a small-market Texas station, not Southern CA 4 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21586-kusi-new-set/#findComment-301931 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouseboy33 92 Posted December 2, 2024 Share Posted December 2, 2024 People watch this channel? So many stations and channels are suffering financially and this indie channel is still operating? Interesting. 2 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21586-kusi-new-set/#findComment-301943 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaZone4K 2165 Posted December 5, 2024 Share Posted December 5, 2024 Given how Nexsar has improved the sets of WTEN, WIVT, WPIX, and WIXN, among other stations, they could have hooked KUSI up better. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21586-kusi-new-set/#findComment-301997 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see when the next one in 2056, sources that's when the new graphics will debut!
