nigelbruce 0 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 New studios are fine .. but THE BIG STORY is that for the first time since Westinghouse "fixed" channel 3 with "leaner and smarter" approach to news --- driving at least 30-50% of the audience away --- Channel 3 is back to a clear #2 with 10 a clear #3. Eyewitness News had grown consistently through the latter 80s and early 90s. Hopefully it won't be "fixed" again!

WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 It was in the Daily News earlier this week, and I've known for a month, but I'm not one of those employees that likes to tease 12 years old with rumor and conjecture (see any WABC HD thread in the NY forum).

Oh gimme a break. 3 hasn't put out remotely decent news product since Vince Leonard, Jack Jones, and Jessica Savitch roamed the anchor desk.

susquvalleywgal 517 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Looks nice and can't wait to see it when I'm next in Philly ... But tell me, is this easy to see from the skyline? It has to be easier than trying to catch the WXPN sign. -- Matt Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/732-cbs-3-cw-philly-light-up-the-philly-skyline/#findComment-5814 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopdevil 1 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Any word on the date they'll be in their new digs? Non-broadcast departments will start the move this Friday (3/9). Broadcast and news operations will begin their move 3/16. First HD broadcast is scheduled for 3/26 - although this may be pushed back a week.

ElliotJones 52 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 It's safe to assume there's going to be a new set, but should we expect new graphics and music?

Guest Dylan Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 It's safe to assume there's going to be a new set, but should we expect new graphics and music? To answer the first question: yes. 2nd question: "kinda".

hopdevil 1 Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 It's safe to assume there's going to be a new set, but should we expect new graphics and music? New set. New Hothaus graphics. Different cuts of the Enforcer package. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/732-cbs-3-cw-philly-light-up-the-philly-skyline/#findComment-5912 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Lord I thought we broke that habit of calling graphics made by Randy, "Pyburns". Anyway those graphics look like crap and got old rather quickly.

FJ2000 5 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 It looks like KYW Newsradio is making the move today. They mentioned on the air this afternoon that today is their last day at 5th and Market.

Sam Horn 78 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 1. i assumed that as well 2. i was just wondering, what with all the silence and all -- and lord knows the weather could've screwed them up 3. are they waiting until after the move to begin tear down, etc., or will they be on a temp set sat/sun)?

ProButtonPusher 230 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 they will begin to dismantle when they leave. that building is pretty much empty, except for Studio A and studio control.

Bars-n-tone 39 Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 they will begin to dismantle when they leave. that building is pretty much empty, except for Studio A and studio control. Not really empty. Much of the office (sales, etc) staff is moving over this weekend but there is a lot still in the 5th & Market building. 30 years of "stuff" does not move quickly! Here are some facts: The on-air target is 03/26. Construction delays have moved this date back several weeks, and may again. EVERYTHING is new for Eyewitness News. Graphics, set, music (still Enforcer, different cuts). The move to HD will not be overnight. Some things will be 16x9 SD, some will be 16x9 HD, due to limitations on when certain items can be switched over. CW Philly WakeUp News is NOT getting a new set. They are remaining, for now, in their Traffic.com facilities. I don't even know if that move is an "if". Should that happen, it's quite a way off. The new facility is at 15th and Spring Garden, occupying the 6th floor of that city-block-long building. There are two studios, each with a dedicated control room. The new EWN set has quite a bit in common, layout-wise, with the current set....much shinier, though!

Is there going to be a furniture & fixture sale or are they taking every bit of that stuff too? I might like some file cabinets.. I'm pretty sure there's going to be stuff that's going to be purged. Oh God.. I can picture some news junkies digging through a large dumpster outside the old building.
