DFW11anchorman 0 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 The new WFAA Victory Plaza studio will soon debut. This new area will play a big part in next Sunday's White Rock Marathon. Spectators can watch WFAA's live coverage of the marathon on the huge high definition LED video screens. The winners will then be interviewed in the new Belo broadcast center.

mattLAW 2 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I agree... Belo is really investing in the Dallas market. Hopefully, WWL's new facilities will be just as nice. matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderJay27 27 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 This is just flat out awesome! If they use it right, which it sounds like they will, they'll be extremely successful and leave everyone in the dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

first on fox 18 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Are they keeping the sexy new set and bringing it over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFW11anchorman 0 Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 They'll continue to broadcast from their Young St. studio which includes the new set. The Victory Plaza studio is just another separate studio. Possibly used in the morning? I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFW11anchorman 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 News 8 at 5 just showed a preview of the new Victory Plaza studio--very cool. I'm sure video will be posted online soon. It looks to me like they'll be doing a lot more than just GMT and Southwest Kia Sportstalk. There's a full newsdesk (which appears to be a replica of the current desk), weather center, traffic center, and interview area. It's set to open next month.

susquvalleywgal 494 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I can't believe that is the mighty WISN building! :o WGAL's building looks like Rockefeller Center compared to that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntropolis 593 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Think WISN's is bad? Take a look at WVEC and WTKR... (the sign was replaced with the current logo in 2004) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoty79 0 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 That place looks like heaven compared to the studios around here... Oh, come on! Are you telling me that this isn't beautiful? LOL! A bit of history... the WISN studios were built on the site of the Frederick Pabst mansion's carriage house back in the '50's. In fact, the studios were built around the carriage house (which was built around Milwaukee's original 19th century Wells Fargo stagecoach station) The portion visible in the photo is from the building addition added on in the early '80's.

Wisco TV Watcher 11 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Think WISN's is bad? Take a look at WVEC and WTKR... WVEC's building doesn't look bad at all. Much better that some of the studios in Green Bay WFRV's building is actually pretty nice inside, but leaves something to be desired on the outside. WGBA has an ugly steel building (it looks like a warehouse), but I couldn't find any photos of it.

I can tell that WFRV loves their CBS affiliation. They've got it plastered all over their satellite dishes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisco TV Watcher 11 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I can tell that WFRV loves their CBS affiliation. They've got it plastered all over their satellite dishes! After WFRV switched affiliations from ABC to CBS (after they were purchased by CBS), they wiped out all traces of their former network. Meanwhile, over at the WBAY Building, the CBS logo is still all over the place, even in their lobby! BTW: I love to drive past the WFRV building and see "Eyewitness News" on that dish over to the left. On the sign on the front of the building (which is hard to see) it still says "WFRV-TV Channel 5".
