IceManNYR 222 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) WNBC has added lighting above the video walls and between the main video wall and blue side walls. Instead of a live camera view of the city, they are using a photo of the Manhattan skyline for the background with NEWS 4 NEW YORK at the bottom scrolling left to right . You can see the difference in stills from the 1st and 7th. Edited February 7, 2019 by IceManNYR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMA 134 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 It looks much improved, I always thought that the lighting in the previous studio was much better, despite it being smaller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NowBergen 485 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 The question is will this be the permanent background going forward (sorry, very Tegna like) or will they go back to the live shot but with the News 4 New York floating near the bottom? Â Live shots were used at 4. 5 and 6 tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyz 26 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Nothing beats the CG background in the 2003 set in 6B. This may be a placeholder for the early AM because the city lights are dark and its just a very dark background. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceManNYR 222 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Today at 6 am the lights were on and the skyline photo was used. At 6:30 am they switched to a live camera background and the lighting around the video wall was turned off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 As much as I like the live camera feeds the NBC O&Os use, that background looks really really sharp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they could find a location in NY and overlay the peacock and the digital chair line. I imagine they’re rolling out 4K cameras (when WNJU launched from 1WTC they installed a 4K camera for their use). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just more yellow than KSDK's redish/orange.  That station (and station group) is not in the same universe of quality as WNBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth mentioning I’ve seen other NBC stations use the same exact style backdrop of course with the cityscape and the branding changed.  I know it’s done in Chicago and I think DFW as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaZone4K 1509 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 WNBC could use a lower third overhaul. The top graphics which displayed the date in the last image is basically unnecessary much like the gray bar at the very bottom of the screen beneath the crawl. Sounding old fashioned, but I liked when screen bugs were transparent, and only lit up when the "lower third graphic" popped up to display an anchor's name or informarion. I'm assuming the purpose for a lower third always displaying a headline now is so that audiences know exactly what the story is about when they turn to the station.

Maybe a 3-way swap? Jummy Olabanji from WNBC to WRC, Adam Tuss from WRC to WCAU, and Rosemary Connors from WCAU to WNBC?  Jummy gets to return to DC and WRC presumably fills their weekend morning vacancy left by Angie Goff. WCAU gets another male anchor (can co-anchor weekend evenings and become a rotating 11am weekday anchor) and WCAU also trims their already overloaded female anchor bench, and WNBC gets a rising star in Rosemary Connors to fill their vacancy.  If Jummy is returning for weekend mornings, makes you wonder why she left WJLA to begin with.  Update: seems Jummy will be the LiveDesk anchor in the mornings: https://tvnewscheck.com/article/more-news/234565/wrc-adding-jummy-olabanji-to-morning-news/ Edited May 2, 2019 by TVNewsLover Update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaZone4K 1509 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) The local news in NYC is feeling saturated with chs. 2 4 5 7 11 & 10/55 all having newscasts, with roughly the same reporting style (5 &11 having a few unique tweaks), plus 24/7 repeats on News 12 & NY 1, and CBSN NY Â It would be nice to see WNBC relaunch a good quality version of the old "Live at 5" (before it became a regular style newscast). Â The 4pm newscast is unnecessary. I can't see WNBC beating Eyewitness News or Judge Judy at 4:00. With all the news in NYC, more newscasts are just over the top. Perhaps the stations should adopt a less is more attitude when it comes to news output. Edited May 5, 2019 by iron_lion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
