    Cool set. But the talent changes are god awful. These new anchors are unattractive dweebs! 

    Oh, whatever. I'm sure you're a real looker, yourself.

    Speaking of UK game shows, Noel Edmunds' version of Deal was 100x better than Howie's. No fancy models opening cases (or in this case, boxes), Noel had a sense of humor, the contestants came from all walks of life, and it wasn't gimmicky. Most of all, it had NINE £250,000 winners, the highest prize on the show. US Deal only had two $1,000,000 winners after they added numerous million-dollar cases to the game. UK Deal never did that.

    I suspect Person, Place or Thing will go to my local FOX station in central/SE WA, just like with Pictionary and 25 Words or Less.

     

    I heard somewhere that Vanna will stay on with Ryan Seacrest in 2024-25 on Wheel of Fortune. Seacrest has never been married so that takes away a female 'Seacrest' from taking over Vanna's role.

     

    Just because one country's show had more winners than the other doesn't mean it is better. IMO, they both were boring.

     

    Also, "you heard somewhere?" Where did you hear it? And what are you *even* talking about with Seacrest being married?

    What do you all think of Greg's beard? I think it's too much and looks unprofessional, especially on the 7pm newscast when he has no tie. He probably keeps it from going grey,  but it's too much and he looks way better shaven or at least with less facial hair.

     

    Oh, whatever. He looks fine.

    Pretty darned good temp setup despite the 'job fair booth' vibes of that background, and it looks like they even have the 'fern couch' to the right for community interest/advertorial interviews.

    I disagree. This looks pretty bad. At the very least, they could've steamed that background so it isn't so wrinkled.

    Well if it only took 2  weeks. I wouldnt expect any thing spectacular.  ....

    How wrong this was. WMAQ did a spectacular job with a small space. So now WLS has the oldest set in market again. However, it still looks pretty good, I can't see them getting rid of it. Maybe update that monitor wall?

    If this set were replacing a set like WALA’s, I’d agree with you. A set isn’t even the most important part of a newscast, the journalistic product is. The problem is that Nexstar doesn’t seem to think this way when it comes to some of their stations. They place so much emphasis on building sets for stations that don’t really need them (the set this replaced wasn’t even 10 years old,) and the new sets look dated even at launch (see WTTV for another example of this.) While I agree with @tyrannical bastard that this set is the best in the market, that’s not a very high bar. The competitors are Sinclair (speaks for itself) and WALA, which hasn’t updated their set since they first went HD. IMHO, if a new set is that important to your news operation, it should be built to last.

    Meh. "Almost 10 years" is a pretty darn good run for a news set. Presentation does matter.

    The article to me reads like they're only building a "state-of-the-art weather center" in the space and not trying to replace the current news set. Weather is something that wasn't given much attention on the current O&O sets, so that makes sense. 

    But that's a lot of space for just a weather center. That 2008 set was pretty spacious, and it included a nice sized  weather set. It would also be kind of weird for the weather person to be in one area of the building and the rest of the news team in another.
