WWTV/WWUP moves to Traverse City

[Archiva 1]

Yesterday, WWTV/WWUP completed the move from their studios in Cadillac to their office in Traverse City. A local school district purchased the Cadillac building in partnership with Heritage Broadcasting.

It's not too often you see carpeting in a studio.  Usually it was the news desk and stage pieces, but not the floor itself.

That could be a maintenance headache unless they have a good cleaning crew.

 

Usually the studio floor is concrete and either painted, tiled or veneered for easy cleanup and durability for movement of sets and equipment.

 

But the sale of their "old" studio (only from 2018) is likely a cash infusion that can shelter the owners from the challenges of broadcasting, especially as an independent owner.

Not going to lie, I'm surprised by how good the set looks. Despite the carpet flooring, I like the design and flair of it and it looks like some thought was put into it.

 

All for a small market like Cadillac.

 

Frankly I'm impressed.

The move from fully physical sets to video walls allows for more variation of looks and could be more cost-effective in the long run.  And they give a sense of realism as opposed to a truly virtual setup with chroma keying.

Is it me or is that studio super small?

Apologies for hijacking this post, but @bennettmonk, please stop with your irritating reactions; there was nothing funny about this post. You make no comments here. I don't know how else to bring sunlight to this, but these inappropriate reactions must stop, and I have all interactions with them blocked, but for some reason, their reactions cannot be blocked from view no matter what I try, and it's needless notification junk/noise if you're never going to do more than react and not contribute.
