Sibling WNBC New York will get its helicopter later this year. And it looks, uh, unique... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AA55 39 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 New set should be ready in time for February sweeps, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyz 26 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 New set should be ready in time for February sweeps, no? depends what was wrong with the set at this rate. i wonder if it was the wooden desk. seems like wood is lame in news sets nowadays.

caliwxdude 252 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Only KNBC did. And it looks, uh, unique... That's KNBC's very old NewsChopper 4. That picture must be from about 1999, as they moved to a different helicopter (N354LA) with a paint scheme inspired by the Novocom O&O graphics before pilot/reporter Bob Pettee was fired/convicted and NBC grounded the chopper. N354LA is now flying for the US Forest Service. Here's what 4 Tango-Victor looks like now. Still owned by Coastal Helicopters and still based at KVNY, but looks like it has had all ENG gear removed.

NYNews 54 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 They should probably debut it on the night of the Super Bowl. The news program should have a ton of lead in from the Super Bowl and The Voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1749 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 They should just wait until June and build a better set that's not a rip off of WABC's crappy set. It'll be the 20th anniversary of "4 New York" (both the song and the branding) then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be the 20th anniversary of "4 New York" (both the song and the branding) then. I agree with you.. They could have a huge launch and everything.. The thing with WABC is that the lighting isn't the normal studio lighting and what we see on tv isn't doing the studio justice.. If they were in a normal sized studio and not the old disney store it would be alot better.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmm134 0 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hey Netnewsguy when will it debut and please some photos ok ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daybreak 269 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Whatever they do, WCBS will still have the best set in NY. Isn't this ironic becuase in 2007 WNBC had the best set in NY. Studio 3C is too small for a set. I agree that they should stay in 7E but time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studio 3C is too small for a set. I agree that they should stay in 7E but time will tell. I agree that the last set in 6B was the best, the rear projection display is what makes it the best. At this point, WCBS, does have the best set in my book in 2011. I am not surprised that the WNBC 3C set is gone. Then again, how can you put a set in 3C after the 2007 renovation for MSNBC in 3A.

fmm134 0 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Netnewsguy just an estimate a guess then please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Netnewsguy just an estimate a guess then please! If the O&O chief basically said "scrap everything" of what was almost certainly a two month project, I would expect at least another two months. (And probably launching the graphics while in the current studio.) Also as far as the best set in 3C, anyone who says the 03 set was the best one is objectively wrong. [yt]fA7op98oVuM[/yt] I mean, really. The News 4 New York set was the best set ever. That said yeah, WCBS' really awesome set is definitely the best one in the city. That should be the one being emulated, not 7's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceManNYR 220 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 When 3C was used for Nightly News it appeared to be very small. Will it be the smallest studio of the NYC stations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthonyz 26 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Netnewsguy just an estimate a guess then please! Well, now they have till the summer 2012 olympics in august as nbc's "next big event." they should have plenty of time till then. with the graphics, I don't think it will debut until they are in their new studio; they did it in 2003 and 2008. second, the set does go good with the 2008 graphics.

I dunno. NBC clearly seems to be getting everyone over to the new graphics before or on Super Bowl Sunday. And by all accounts, WNBC was to be the first station with the new look. I can see them going to the graphics as planned and switching over to the set when it's ready (and given the way this is going, that will be the Olympics!)

They'll probably not put it off any later than May sweeps. In a building where studio space is at a prime, I doubt the other departments would like it if WNBC was allowed to hog 3C for more than half a year without actually using it.

DMA 134 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I can't imagine a set being so bad that they tore it apart and started over. What was it like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nynewslover 269 Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 That's rediculous.. They should have just taken the money and flushed it down the toilet.. It must have been pretty bad if they are willing to destroy a set and start all over again. Pretty sad actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
