ns8401 846 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 WKYC is kinda ugly, especially the strange grey color for the desk with that vibrant yellow orange in the background. Yuck. WEWS has a very nice set, it was done by Broadcast Design International, they make some nice stuff, I wish WXYZ had a set like this or their old FX group set, their new FX one is awful and way outclassed by this sister stations set. WJW has a rather empty, dated and plain set. I'm surprised it's lasted this long. WOIO - see that thread for my thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanewsguy 509 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Re: WKYC -- Is that really their current set? I looked at those pictures and almost thought it was a set they used in the late 90's. I would've thought that for sure if it were not for Russ Mitchell and Kris Pickel in the photo. Anyway it's ugly and looks 15 years past its time.

NEOMatrix 1295 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 WOIO, IMO, almost has a CBS O&O look to its set. However, I think it has a FX look with a hint of Devlin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's alright. I never thought that it was BDI's best work. They did this after they refreshed WPTV, and that too wasn't very impressive for BDI. Re: WKYC -- Is that really their current set?

WXmanTim 88 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 About the only thing new about wkyc's studio is the desk. Everything else is remnants of their Devlin set from the early 2000s. The tell tale is the "information center" light box hanging above. I wish Devlin archived images of their old projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
