Action Newsroom 1261 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) I'm currently in the still-current-but-soon-to-be-old studio of Live with Kelly & Mark, and it was mentioned during today's interviews with their guests (featured here is Nathan Fillion) that this is one of the very last episodes in this studio and on W 67th Street in UWS before the move to 7 Hudson Square. They didn't say exactly when it will happen, but it is more than likely after this month.

Action Newsroom 1261 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) I'm still in the Live audience for a taped show to air on the 31st. During the taping, Kelly and Mark reveal that the next day's taping (April 1) will be the very last in the studio on W 67fh Street/UWS. So from that, it's very clear the move is for April, May or later.

mouseboy33 91 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I guess Im in the minority. I hate everything about ABC News. Its like they are broadcasting from a darkened cave. I hate the lighting, when there is some its harsh and the talent is shadowy and the graphics are dark so it feels sinister. The sound is always echo-ey and the use of the metal on the set, such as around the screens and desk, always has hotspots. Everything is badly designed. I feel since they were moving to a new space they could have experimented. They didnt even get new graphics but recreated their old ones. But since audiences for network news is drying up...this exemplifies they are truly scare of losing more of their audience. I was hoping we would see something different. But to to rebuild the same thing. Yawn. I was suprised ABC News Live got new graphics. I like the channel, but sometimes I find the streaming channels dont always carry live events. NBC News Now is a big culprit. ABC is OK. CBS News is a bit hit or miss. I have to say Im not impressed with any of the big 3 network news sets. NBC gave up and retreated to the Today set and CBS is just screens and ABC went deeper into their news cave. 4 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21624-7-hudson-square-studios/page/2/#findComment-304274 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really going to miss that opening zoom-out that just shows how absurdly tiny that studio is for a network-quality live show, even after the studio-sharing with EWN ended. It's always night and day to see their yearly Dolby show or other on-location weeks such as the recent Palm Springs week where they can spread out. 6 hours ago, mouseboy33 said: I guess Im in the minority.

I'm hoping at least that the GMA set is less clashy with all that metal and those goofy frosted panels and so much blue. I'm hopeful everything with the lighting and display on the new set is temporary and a new network-wide scheme is introduced with GMA's move, which I can still see happen. The big problem with ABC News is that set is heavily-used so they may have to keep it darker to hide marks and not expose too much to an average viewer about its overuse. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21624-7-hudson-square-studios/page/2/#findComment-304275 Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I'm gonna miss the studio itself too as it's been in use throughout it's entire local run and national run up until this point; and even though I went in only three times, it still is so legendary that I get goosebumps every time I enter. And despite its size compared to the last , it is my set of them all. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21624-7-hudson-square-studios/page/2/#findComment-304277 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love a show called "Live" being taped two weeks in advance. 3 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21624-7-hudson-square-studios/page/2/#findComment-304359 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you mentioned it, it makes sense when you see the logos after Regis retired. The newer the host, the smaller the "Live".
