swillh2k2 203 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I usually don't watch WCNC here in Charlotte, but while watching their 4pm newscast I noticed they were broadcasting from a temporary set. Pretty sure they are building a new HD ready set since they are the only station out of the big 4 not in HD (they are in 16:9 widescreen though). Belo seems not to have poured too much $$ as much as they do with their other ones but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewsMan 0 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Finally! There set is odd looking especially withe the HUGE WCNC logo. Even without HD it will still look good! With HD even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swillh2k2 203 Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 If they make the switch, it will probably be on March 1 (after the Olympics). Promos should be running soon if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swillh2k2 203 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 They're now in their newsroom. Pretty sure it's temporary because they aren't showing a wide shot of the set. Maybe they are installing the new set now--we will see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swillh2k2 203 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 They were back at the regular temp set yesterday and today. They were covering the storms that were in the area on Sunday so they were probably in the newsroom for that purpose only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swillh2k2 203 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Noticed a few subtle differences. Other than a open window with a view of the newsroom, just blue-shaded walls on either side. If that's a permanent set then Belo really went cheap with WCNC. I'll post photos/video when I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swillh2k2 203 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 A few pics. BTW the desk has a flat screen attached to it but they only show the whole desk (or at least part of it) it during wide shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsguy22 59 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 According to a buddy of mine who works there... New set should debut in a couple of weeks. They're building a new weather patio that includes a waterfall and a koi pond. I'm jealous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueflag 0 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Here's a quick video of the new patio from Brad Panovich: http://www.twitvid.com/FQPGP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swillh2k2 203 Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Today I noticed that the panels on both sides of the NBC logo were gone, and it was overlooking what appeared to be the new outdoor set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
