StudioTech 15 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Why call it PIX 11 and bring back the circle 11 NYNews? Give them credit for bringing it back. Most of us weren't too fond of the CW11 logo, but c'mon. Although many here grew up watching 11 as a kid (see my avatar) did you really think the station was gonna revert back to the way it was 30 years ago? I'd love to see the Yankees back on PIX, but the earliest that could happen (if it ever does) is 2012.
commentator12 0 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Not fond of the cw logo or the network? or both? Isn't the CW's programming geared to younger viewers? No, not a full retro 11. That would be impossible but it wouldn't hurt to try it. Exclusivity is sexy. lol. YES! The Yankees back on WPIX. There's no place like home. 2012? Oh well.
TVNewsLover 785 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Like they say don't believe the hype until you see it lol. But come on its not really that bad. The 6:30 news is more like a preview for the 10pm news more or less. If you noticed, a lot of the 6:30 stories were developing stories they were working on for the 10pm broadcast. I think its nice that they are even attempting a 6:30 broadcast, they can't put all of their resources on a broadcast they are unsure about. They did a smart move although its half-assed, its wise. Isn't almost every other stations earlier newscast a preview of their late newscasts? If you've ever been stuck at home sick all day and watched the news on other stations all day you would see that several stories are repeated or repeated and updated.
abric 181 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Well I guess I'll be the minority in this. I like the new set, this shows (to me) what a news set needs to be. The duratans of the Brooklyn Bridge and the NY skyline enhances the set along with the new 4 plasma monitors showing the live footage of New York City. Some sets are so organic and so similar. This to me is very different, and I like a bit of variety. I would place this set at number 2 or 3 behind the sets of WCBS and WABC. Good job to PIX 11!
NYNews 54 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 During the first commercial break at 6:40pm they used a bumper tease that they've used for a while now as music to send to commercial, but it was the first time we heard the end of the bumper and it was great! It was better than the music they used to end the newscast with. Hopefully someone could upload it on youtube so the rest of you guys could hear it. So some of us have commented on the quality of new, what about the rest of you guys what were your thought on it? I'm loving the fast paced news that removes all the fluff and gets to the point. The comment about the news being intense was right. keep up to the good job WPIX.

nynewslover 279 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I think the set is the WORST set in NY and not only that I dont think they did "full" stories on the 6:30pm It seems like they were giving 1/2 stories so you would watch the 10pm News
IceManNYR 240 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Here's some caps from the AM News first day in the new set. Free Image Hosting by ImageBam.com
DMA 135 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 They moved the desk closer to the monitors tonight, it looked much better. The monitors actually looked like real windows, since they were closer to the anchors.
knightofni 2 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Second day of the new show and already they had major technical issues. Didn't take long to expose the flaws they have in the control room.
WBREEYEWITNESSNEWS 1 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 The news at 10 should be a lot of fun to watch tonight
AceHawk447 17 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Feeling the plasma "quadriptych" in the center...that and the duratrans are serious new-set highlights. As for a possible new theme, I think the Tribune sounder would work very well next to the existing PIX signature.
Weeters 1969 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Michael P. Hill is reporting that the set was designed by FX Group. Normally, I'd shoot down what he has to say, but seeing as A) he is a former employee of FX and probably still has connections and B) It looks a lot like a FX Group set, I'd have to go with that.
Vlad 330 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Isn't almost every other stations earlier newscast a preview of their late newscasts? If you've ever been stuck at home sick all day and watched the news on other stations all day you would see that several stories are repeated or repeated and updated. I never disputed that, of course every station does this. Perhaps you misunderstood the point that I was trying to get across, what I said was that their 6:30pm broadcast was more like a tease for their 10:00pm broadcast, because they obviously have only 30 minutes as opposed to a full hour, they can't spend as much time on the story as they would have at the 10:00pm, so they truncate them, and elaborate them more during the 10pm broadcast.

I don't doubt that it's an FX set, the desk is very similar to the new WPBF set. I'm just surprised that there were blackwalnut boxes. Since blackwalnut is in Rockland County, I guess it makes more sense for them to build it, instead of shipping it up from Florida.
tw-804 193 Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 The set is growing on me a little bit: It's growing on me, too. Looks nice!! I like the background.
DMA 135 Posted September 26, 2009 Author Posted September 26, 2009 The weekend edition of the 6:30pm newscast launched tonight, with Jackie and Peter. It's much more traditional than the weekday version, and it has an open:
newsguy22 59 Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 I think it looks great. It's contemporary without being too "futuristic", if that makes any sense. I think it fits the tone of PIX's newscasts quite well, from what I've been able to see on the interwebs.
Vlad 330 Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 They are making nice use of the set, I thought it was pretty nice.
Bucc 4 Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 When she says they have 11 stories at 6:30, does that mean only (not only) 11 stories for the whole newscast? Or like "11 stories in the 1st 11 minutes" type of thing?
