Ryan 26 Posted Monday at 06:49 PM Posted Monday at 06:49 PM (edited) As you may have seen for the past week or so this promo has been circulating on KDKA that BIG EWS is coming TODAY at 4 pm. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/196Vw2qatr/ Well, Barry Pintar from the KDKA TV News at Noon broke the news that today's news at noon was going to be the last newscast in the main studio for a couple of weeks due to some MAJOR UPGRADES. From what I've heard, KDKA will be GUTTING the studio and become the next AR/VR CBS O&O set. Sorry, I wasn't able to get the announcement at noon, but I will try and get the announcement at 4pm today. Edited Monday at 07:47 PM by Ryan 1
LOWERCASE GUY 297 Posted Monday at 08:18 PM Posted Monday at 08:18 PM You know what, that set aged WELL! 1
JosiahCubed 302 Posted Monday at 08:23 PM Posted Monday at 08:23 PM It has aged well for a set, over 11 years. It will be interesting seeing one of the AR/VR sets for KDKA, if that holds true. In the report at 4pm, Barry Pintar did show off that one of the video walls was removed as they prepare to renovate Studio A. 1

TheNewsTV 347 Posted Monday at 11:07 PM Posted Monday at 11:07 PM It saddens me that CBS is increasingly expanding this idea of VR studios. The standard implemented in Los Angeles, Denver, and Chicago would be great for their O&Os. 3

So, that every 4 or how many years they don't have to gut out their studios for a fresh look? They can make the changes when they want however they want on a computer and boom! It saddens me that CBS is increasingly expanding this idea of VR studios. The standard implemented in Los Angeles, Denver, and Chicago would be great for their O&Os.

FiveNews 488 Posted Tuesday at 12:45 AM Posted Tuesday at 12:45 AM Are they really going to run their newscasts off of one camera at the temporary anchor desk? 1

When they did the last set, the set they are taking down now was immaculate! This set, it's just ALL OVER THE PLACE! And the weather set? They are running off of a laptop and half of their equipment the normally use to track storms. Wth?
JosiahCubed 302 Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago KDKA officially announced this morning that the AR/VR set will be coming to Pittsburgh in the first or second week of August. 1
