And now a live look at the NFL Scheduling team: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-schedule-changes-team-by-team-adjustments-after-patriots-vs-broncos-is-postponed-to-week-6/ How much longer do we have to wait for Week 18 to be added?

Same here, with WFRV. I'm legitimately surprised that WFRV is allowed to air the game, with the Packers being the actual... (original?) Monday night game. A more interesting situation would have been if WFRV or WMAZ had the rights to air Packers/Falcons MNF locally and what they would have done with Chiefs/Pats. (WLUK-FOX and WSB-ABC each have the rights, in case you were curious.)

If I recall correctly... I think when that set first launched it was an actual screen, but it looked washed out on TV. At some point they swapped to a chroma-keyed faux-monitor but it always looked really grainy like it was a bad key or something. I wish I had a screen cap to show what I'm talking about.

WBAY posted a time lapse of construction on their website: https://www.wbay.com/2020/09/18/watch-timelapse-captures-construction-of-new-action-2-news-studio/

Gotta pay for that new set somehow!

Make that two new newscasts to go with the new set. Action 2 News Mid-Morning debuts at 9am on Monday.

WBAY is adding a new newscast to go with their new set. Action 2 News at 4:30 with Chris Roth starts on Monday, September 14.

I hope they can do something to spice up the portion of the videowall that doesn't have the weather graphics. You can hardly tell that that white/gray flying rectangle background is even on the other screens.

I re-listened a few times and agree it's not the same voiceover artist. I'm not sure if it's the microphones they use, but both voiceovers sound very... flat? Lacking a certain warmth in the quality? Does that make sense?

New music Same graphics Same voiceover

Whoa! Out of nowhere here comes WBAY getting a new set!

I want to say it's Peter Dean, who is credited as the voiceover for WEAU in Eau Claire.

Because every CNN/US show has to open with the universal intro.

The XFL Sale is official. New ownership group takes over in two weeks!

I'm interested to see if the XFL returns in the "traditional" ten week season, one week playoff for the top two teams in each division, and Championship game format, or if they're going to do something more like the twelve-week tournament format that was pitched in part of the sale process.
