tvpirate05 1 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 http://www.wtkr.com/Global/story.asp?S=5977559 Today, 'TKR introduced its new "Interactive Newsroom". Basically, it's the back corner of the newsroom, where they originally did military reports following 9/11. The wall is now lined with flatscreen monitors. It's actually a nice setup, and the flatscreens remind me a lot of CNN's "Situation Room". There's also a silver and black podium for Bianca Martinez to stand behind. Again, a nice setup, but the camerawork looked very tacky. Instead of just a simple tripod and photog, it was someone with a camera on their shoulder, and they honestly looked like they were ready to fall over. Why they couldn't set up a tripod, I don't know. But other, than that, it looks nice. I give it a B+. Get some steady camera shots and you're on to something.

Ntropolis 593 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Here are some screencaps... I thought it looked pretty good... they should have Bianca do the whole newscast from the newsroom (like 13's 5:30) and cut some of the "interactive newsroom" cheese.

WAVY 10 Fan 232 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I may check it out either today or tomorrow. The premise sounds gimmicky, but then; that's WTKR for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjohnson 15 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 KMOV has one, too. Laurie Waters was reporting from it earlier in the week. I guess WVEC will end up with one sooner or later, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a nice set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
