Weeters 1804 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Well, I can tell you where some of the money for the "expanded studio" went... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYNewsCoverage 257 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 They have a new background tonight at ten. I think it's much better than the one they've been using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper4 36 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 I don't like the middle picture in the background. Those buildings are non-descript, they look like they could be in any city. You see that picture, and you don't know it's New York, and to top it off, it looks fake, just like a city you would find in a computer game.

Londoner 3 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I agree. Is the building closest to the centre meant to be the Empire State Building (which featured in the other CGI shots when the background animated)? If so, you'd never guess. They originally had three images on rotation - two of which had a clear view of the Empire State Building - so I just can't understand why they eventually decided to only use the one that could be any city anywhere. Personally, I think they should have put some kind of frosting/effects over the Brooklyn Bridge duratrans (like they use on the other side of the studio), and stuck with the live skyline shot they used to have, which wouldn't look as out of place as it did when it was sandwiched between two clear images of the bridge.

IceManNYR 222 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Yeah it's odd on the side they have actual images of NYC on the left and right yet in the center is what appears to be a CGI image of city buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius22 120 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 What's the purpose of the Brooklyn studio? is it going to be for sports, are the going to also be the home for the Nets basketball ? probably since they are one of the affiliates that provided sports before.
