TheRolyPoly 2409 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Its still months away. However, WVUE has already shown you its new home right here. Reminder: WVUE sold their old building to Xavier University as they'll move to mid-city near I-10. Unfortunately, its still not ready before the New Orleans Super Bowl. https://www.fox8live.com/video/2025/02/06/take-sneak-peak-fox-8s-new-home/ EDIT: It shows both their new studios on this one: one for main news and weather, another for NOLA NOW and GCSEN.

You misheard that, as the anchor said their new studio is just a few blocks away [from their soon-to-be-former home near Xavier University of Louisiana]. The intent was always to have the place ready in time for Super Bowl Sunday, and by the looks of things, they're set to start broadcasting from there no later than after the game is over on Sunday.

But i guess for them....congrats on the new building. Sort of a lateral move for them since the other set was on the "blah" side. I think the lighting will be better on this one since you could see the glare of the lights on the monitor array during dark images. At least it's not the bus-station/bank branch look of some of their past sets....the "Gray-Hound" look....

Gray is literally everything but creative and innovative. It saves them money. New to a market is cheaper than a world's first. 2 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21636-wvues-new-set/#findComment-303564 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the 4pm report where Lauren McCoy said in just a few short months. I should've included this too for reference. From working in a newsroom, they push you to be innovative and think outside of the box with stories so that we aren't just doing the same thing as the competition. Why doesn't that apply to design standards? The majority of newscasts in this country feature bland video walls with no physical set pieces, and some generic white box design for their lower thirds. Somebody switch it up please.

MorningNews 1448 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I get that sentiment and agree with it but it’s probably unlikely that viewers determine who they watch based off of set design. 2 3 1 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21636-wvues-new-set/#findComment-303580 Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. We always have to strike a balance between being critics who have a more acute eye for certain things and assessing what the audience actually cares about. But If the news station dedicated a segment to draw attention to their new set it shows that they want the audience to care about it.

ScottSchell 355 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Apologies for bumping this but is there any word on how much longer it will be before they officially move and start broadcasting from the new building? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21636-wvues-new-set/#findComment-304878 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new studio is finished as of February. It's just a matter of finishing up some technical stuff before they can fully broadcast from there. 2 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/21636-wvues-new-set/#findComment-304882 Share on other sites More sharing options...
