brb588 114 Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Apparently Nancy Loo has stated on her Twitter page that the new set will make its debut on May 10th. I doubt that WFLD would air in high def then (I would expect a lot more hype. They'll probably do something similar to WLS and transition into HD later.
Spring Rubber 724 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Tonight WFLD is using some odd animated pillar bars that are slightly visible in the overscan area on several 4:3 videos. Hopefully they're not thinking about using animated pillar bars when they finally do go HD. If they did, I'm sure it would go by the wayside quickly enough since it would be so annoying.
caliwxdude 255 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 I actually don't have a problem with animated pillarbars. I'm pretty sure the standard Fox O&O HD graphics package does have animated pillarbars, so I'd be willing to bet that the high definition transition is imminent.
first on fox 18 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Looks like they got the crap desk. http://twitpic.com/4k4lh
Weeters 1981 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Looks like they got the crap desk. http://twitpic.com/4k4lh Interesting. It seems they're going without the "FOX CHICAGO" text around the desk. It was there 14 days ago and now it's gone. Also, I wonder how they'll fit the square logo in the rectangle provided. Probably why there's nothing there.
former newsboy 52 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Interesting. It seems they're going without the "FOX CHICAGO" text around the desk. It was there 14 days ago and now it's gone. Well, it didn't say "FOX CHICAGO", it said "FOX NEWS CHICAGO", and since it's not called that anymore it doesn't say that anymore.
Jase 1088 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 The rectangle box is a small plasma screen I believe so there's a chance that the 'Fox Chicago' logo could fit without appearing too small/weird. Not surprised they kept the desk (since that is the Fox O&O standard one) and they likely incorporated other things they already had into the new set. Can't wait until Sunday to see how everything looks.
lazynetjunkie 34 Posted May 5, 2009 Author Posted May 5, 2009 Like I said towards the beginning, as you can see, the original anchor desk was saved. The anchors' chairs from the previous set (which are currently being used in the temporary newsroom set) are also going to be reused too. The newer interview set furniture from the previous set (those red chairs with the little round coffee table) were also saved to be reused.
Weeters 1981 Posted May 5, 2009 Posted May 5, 2009 Well' date=' it didn't say "FOX CHICAGO", it said "FOX NEWS CHICAGO", and since it's not called that anymore it doesn't say that anymore.[/quote'] For the record, I like it this way.

Jase 1088 Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 A look at the new control room.... http://twitpic.com/4obsm
Weeters 1981 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 Caps. No open, as reception is not that great for me.
