DMA 135 Posted September 1, 2009 Author Posted September 1, 2009 Well you gotta have a new graphics with a new set. That's news to me.
NYNews 54 Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 Maybe the current blue graphics doesn't fit it with the proposed new look of the studio.
nynewslover 279 Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 does anyone have any idea on how long this will take? I assume it will be done by the time the 6:30 nescast debuts..

abric 181 Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 The new WPIX set will premiere on September 14th.
Vlad 330 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 The new WPIX set will premiere on September 14th. Right on time for the start of the new TV season.
DMA 135 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Posted September 2, 2009 There are tons of new photos on facebook of the new set going up...it looks pretty unique! It looks like there's going to be a Rear projection screen in the center of the set, surrounded on both sides by a curved duratran. It also looks like it might be a 2 phased revamp, replacing the morning set eventually. Edit: The boxes on the set say Black Walnut! Thank god it's not FX!
Vlad 330 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 This is awesome, they might have the nicest set in the DMA if they keep this up! I like the idea of having a rear projection screen kinda like KGO and KABC, this way they can use whatever camera image they want, essentially changing the core look of the set all the time. Wow my 1,000th post.. Interesting..., hope I'll be here for 1,000 more, lol.
Ntropolis 598 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Edit: The boxes on the set say Black Walnut! Thank god it's not FX! Good, good... they did KTVK and WFAA.
anchorman 96 Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Wow. They're really working hard. WPIX is really trying to become a force in NY News, and I think that it could happen.
DMA 135 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Posted September 3, 2009 Good, good... they did KTVK and WFAA. Looking at the BW site, it looks like it's actually a PDG set, just fabricated by BW.
Ntropolis 598 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Looking at the BW site, it looks like it's actually a PDG set, just fabricated by BW. Yeah, I knew BW just built them while they're designed by someone else.
SFTV 529 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Good, good... they did KTVK and WFAA. dont forget KGTV =P
DMA 135 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Posted September 3, 2009 There are some new photos of the set build going on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/photo.php?pid=2334260&id=76073377041
NYNews 54 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 What's with the red couch and chairs? Looks like a game show set.
DMA 135 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Posted September 3, 2009 They used them on the 8am hour of the morning news.
Weeters 1969 Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Looks like that's not a RP screen, but rather where they will mount 4 plasmas in a "portrait" orientation...
DMA 135 Posted September 6, 2009 Author Posted September 6, 2009 http://www.wpix.com/news/630/ It looks like it'll be 7 days a week!
NYNews 54 Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Interesting, why the one week delay for the weekend news? WCBS will have some competition on Sundays. I guess Peter and Mary will anchor the weekends.
StudioTech 15 Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 http://www.wpix.com/news/630/ It looks like it'll be 7 days a week! And while this is going on, it's being reported over in the LA forum that their sister KTLA is expanding to 6pm for a full hour so we're likely to see that happen here in about 6 months
TrfRptr 3 Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 I gotta a kick out of that press release that says "while other stations are cutting news." Now wait just a second, My9 is slashing the full 10PM hour for 30 min at 11pm, I wouldn't get to crazy about that. LOL That made me chuckle.
DMA 135 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Posted September 7, 2009 It looks like WPIX now has a 3 note audio signature, it sounds similar to the WGN American signature...I hope doesn't mean they're dropping their music.
civic110 20 Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 I noticed this morning that during the daytime programming, the time and temp were under the PIX-11 bug...is this something new?

civic110 20 Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 They're expanding their news, etc...however didn't they cut Air11? Can they always rely on Chopper2 to be up in the air, esp. if needed for their 6:30 newscast?
