TennTV1983 743 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Very true, except what I would call the "New School" FX, which I have come to really love! I might also add that "360" by 360 Music makes for a great combo with the new set and graphics. Graphics look either to be Renderon or GO. It's a Renderon job. The glass skyline and buildings are much like that of WPRI's graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3464 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 WPMI in Mobile may very well be the next station in Mobile to take the plunge into HD News....according to this job posting... http://602communications.com/2012/01/graphic-designer-local-15-utv44-mobile-al-pensacola-fl/ And word on the street is that WALA may not be far behind them. They could use a refresh.....very badly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief-O 28 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 If this post from foxcitiestv.com is to be believed, WLUK may be going HD soon. They're [as far as I know] almost there; I think the Ignite system/robocams they installed a few years back are HD [can't see why they'd waste time installing new SD-only equipment], and I have seen one of their photogs with an HD XDCam out in the field.....

tigermichal 0 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 WDTN in Dayton announced on their Facebook page that they are starting construction for HD capabilities including a new set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3464 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 WALA is doing their news on a different set as of Saturday's 9pm show. It looks like the old set they used to use for their morning news before they moved all news programs to their main newsroom set. With all the recent upgrades at LIN stations both completed and announced....WALA may be next on LIN's list to upgrade to HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susquvalleywgal 494 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 As said in the shoutbox, WHP is going HD news very soon. They are now broadcasting from the newsroom. Link above shows them taking a sledgehammer to the weather center. Looks like total set construction. Last HLLY station to go HD news. Let the speculation begin. -- Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3464 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 WPMI in Mobile confirmed they are going HD on their 10pm newscast...their temporary set is using parts of their existing set, and they showed a shot of their now vacant studio being stripped down to the bare walls. With WALA upgrading as well....this will round out the Mobile-Pensacola market with all stations doing HD news by the end of May! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief-O 28 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 WLUK is officially beginning the transition. Tonight's newscasts are being broadcast from their News and Content Center. They're likely just building a new set [or revamping the current one]......don't see much tech-wise they'd need to do in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susquvalleywgal 494 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 UPDATE ON WHP CBS21 HD NEWS SET ... Got a CONFIRMATION that it will be a Devlin set. Devlin's Blog here has all of the inforamtion ... Already looks LIGHTYEARS better than27, and it's not even designed yet. As for graphics, I don't think there will be a change, but they are overdue.

tyrannical bastard 3464 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 WALA has posted a picture of their studio with unassembled pieces of the new set. Could this be another FX job like WIVB? Meanwhile, over in West Virginia, WOWK is moving their station from Huntington to Charleston which will include an upgrade to HD. Sister station WTRF in Wheeling made the upgrade at the end of 2011. I bring this up because their set (which looks to be virtually identical to what they are using now in Huntington) has the same triangle columns that WALA is using on their temp set.

Per Andrew Perez's Facebook page, the new set is indeed an FX job. Source: Facebook/Fox10 Andrew Perez As you can see from the picture, the working newsroom is being partially enclosed, and many of the design elements look similar to WTLV/WJXX's newsroom set (except for the desk).

susquvalleywgal 494 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 WHP CBS21 HD is is progressing along nicely. The Devlin Blog I linked in a previous post is being updated daily at this point. Some of the interesting stats on the new set were announced on the blog today: "46 inch video wall, color changing LCD's, pivoting anchor desk and rolling kiosks with montiors" ... CBS21 is going all out, guns blazing with this new set and I am VERY interested to see what they do. Kirk Clyatt (Twitter: @Clyatt) also twitpic'd a lot of pics. The logo is a little different that the current one (notice the lack of red). IF they have a graphic change I would love for them to get the CBS O&O package. Then we would have a grand slam by the underdog in the HLLY market!! More updates as they come avaliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susquvalleywgal 494 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Very interested to see the pivoting anchor desk. Kinda makes me think it's like from Press Your Luck in the 80s. Haha. But really yeah, WHP is going to look nice. No word on premiere date, but if I had to guess, April 2nd ... NCAA Men's Baasketball Championship Game. Just a guess.

susquvalleywgal 494 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 WHP-CBS 21 UPDATE: Blog updated once again now the Weather Center is showcased. It looks BEAUTIFUL even though it is still a work in progress. The final death blow to 27 is ready to be slung over 6th Street to 27 in uptown Harrisburg. It's a shame that 27 thought they knew how to do a HD set ... 21's response to the competition ... game on. They indeed saved the best for last in the HLLY market. Who would've thought 21 would have a set that matched any maybe EXCEEDED the giant Channel 8. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jterry 43 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Now, Devlin is in Mobile putting in WPMI's new set... http://www.ddgtv.com...nstallation-23/ It would be really nice if they were doing WPTY too, but I have a feeling that's not going to be case since they're expected to be finished with whatever they're doing (and still don't know the extent of it) this weekend, as TennTV noted in the other thread seems too short to be that kind of a massive overhaul.

tyrannical bastard 3464 Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Devlin Design group updated their pictures of WPMI's new set... http://www.ddgtv.com...nstallation-23/ It looks like LOCAL 15 will be sticking around after they relaunch in HD. The monitor shots show a different look from what they've been using since 2008 (NBC Arthouse Look A). I'm thinking it could be a Hothaus package....since they've done many of Newport's HD re-launches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
