DMA 135 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Now this could be anything, but I noticed the WNBC set looked quite odd, everything was blue, there was no color in the background. I captured a desk shot. It looks like a duratran, because you can see lit panels: It could be something like repairs or something, but it's strange.

rtmclaug 43 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I agree. It does look a little strange. I know that they started doing the newscasts from in front of a video screen or a chromakey wall. They could probably be making repairs to the set. I also know that WNBC is preparing to convert to a 24-hr news channel. Could this be part of the change?

DMA 135 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Janice is in the weather center, it could be repairs, or a refresh. I'm not expecting a brand new set or anything. Edit: Nevermind, they're still in the normal set, but the background is still. Something must have broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey 779 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Aren't they moving into the new NBC News/MSNBC area sometime soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMA 135 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 They're apparently making their newsroom similar to the NBC News Newsroom, but not the same area. I think the problem might have been an error with the playout servers for the backdrop or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewsJunkie247 1 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 That looks pretty weird. This happened one night back in mid May, where the set was all blue like this, and then the next night it was back to normal. It was probably some kind of a glitch in the background.

TrfRptr 3 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 The blue backdrop on a tight two-shot does NOT look good. From a nice wide angle it's do-able. I'll be honest while their backdrop does look amazing. I don't like the fact that it appears they're on a barge in the East River doing a newscast.

IceManNYR 222 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Looks like they are back to normal tonight. The background looks normal and is animated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
