Jase 818 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 The Saturday night game(s) on ABC bring in big #s, so I'm not surprised they had to go back to it. Honestly, they probably should have just aired it until its conclusion and aired the Cubs post game stuff on 7.2 and then made the switch. Luckily, WFLD/Fox had a better option available and moved their game to WPWR/CW50. Not sure if the Chicago Wolves game on CW50 was over however. Since SNL was new, WMAQ was likely under some pressure to wrap things up and air SNL before 11P. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns8401 846 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 WMAQ went a solid hour. Meh, that's okay enough. WLS, on the other hand, must've been told by the network to return for the end of the Penn State/Ohio State game, going online-only for like 15 minutes for postgame. They gave the football viewers a ton of warning to switch to 7.2, but then brought it back to 7.1, leaving the game on 2 channels (plus ESPN3), and giving the Cubs fans NO OTA option. That borders on inexcusable, to me. If it was another team in another city.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiCubsFan 33 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 They have a new "studio," if that's what you call it. It's called "Good Day Chicago Studio B." It's a room with a window that over looks the "FOX Plaza" with a table in it so they can do special segments there (i.e. Interview, cooking, etc.).

It's a room with a window that over looks the "FOX Plaza" with a table in it so they can do special segments there (i.e. Interview, cooking, etc.). I wouldn't call it a studio (which they now call 'Studio 32' (as of 1/9/17). It's a small space upstairs that they previously used for a online sports show with Lou Canellis and Hub Arkush awhile back. My guess is that someone said why are we using space at Sweetwater when we have our own we should be using. I'm surprised they have never taken advantage (a complete build out) of this space before (particularly now that the view across the street is better, big windows, etc...).

24994J 5269 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I never saw the desk, but it appears they just set up shop in front of the 3x3. Definitely not a bad look for a likely temporary period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

24994J 5269 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Is Fox 32 getting a new set? Anything's possible. They're certainly due, but all signs point to Fox prioritizing new sets for their most successful stations, which WFLD is not. However, if they're in the newsroom for more than a week with these limited camera angles and such, I'm inclined to think they're making changes...that is if we don't hear anything, first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring Rubber 609 Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Speaking of the newsroom... Remember when they built that newsroom set for the morning news? How long did that even last, and what year(s) was that? I don't even remember it that clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
