It has an HD Camera and Joe now does the reports from the 4th level of the ABC building Its about time, any screenshots? That probably was the only aspect of the morning broadcast inhibiting their look, lol. Did they get some new maps as well because they certainly needed better traffic maps as well, haha.

DMA 135 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 It looks MUCH better than it used to. There's some modern plexiglass wall with plasmas, it looks good, but there seems to be a front LCD projector projecting a bad control room view on the wall.

Vlad 276 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 It actually looks really good, the only thing they should probably update is their maps, and add a bit more animations. The icons are good too, but they are really not that intuitive when it comes to pinpointing where exactly the incident is. Joe Nolan certainly looks a lot different in HD and much older, haha so, that is quite a change. But overall, its a very nice incremental update I like it.

IceManNYR 223 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Bill Ritter did the 6pm News preview from that same studio. The control room background was full screen behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The maps they have now arent that old...They got them when they got there new graphics back in 2008.. so they probaly wont "update" them for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNews 54 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Yikes, that guy needs to lose weight. I'm not trying to be mean or funny. Instead updating the traffic area in where's he sitting in, maybe they should have him walk to a green screen like how WCBS or WPIX does with their traffic reporters.

DMA 135 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I think it was somewhere in Jersey. Edit: Looking at the photos again, it seems like there's an actual desk. Maybe they'll use it as a flashcam or secondary set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceManNYR 223 Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 WABC is using the Regis and Kelly Studio for their election coverage. Scott did the sports report from the traffic studio. Free Image Hosting by ImageBam.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nynewslover 269 Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 i believe wabc will be switching studios sometime. i think they'll be using the new studio that they just got where they do news previews (Source:http://twitter.com/NYNewsWATCH) Does anyone know if this is true??

DMA 135 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Utterly false. If the new set was built, wouldn't they be using it by now? The set is just a secondary set. It's just going to be used as a flashcam, for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it's coming from the same person that claimed to be from WNBC for the longest time until WNBC put a stop to it, I wouldn't believe anything they said.

nynewslover 269 Posted November 5, 2009 Author Share Posted November 5, 2009 it would be nic if they did get a new set.. (i guess) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 276 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I highly doubt it... They probably just have it as a secondary flash cam location as DMA pointed out.. Though the election studio they used (which is a portion of the Regis and Kelly studio) was pretty nice, if Regis and Kelly could move elsewhere that would allow the opportunity of WABC having the necessary space to produce an impeccable studio (like the ones in LA, and a number of other locales) but of course this is something that won't happen anytime soon if it'll ever happen.
