That Instagram post implies that the debut is Monday at 10, not tonight, right? 2. It's Central time, so the news this evening would be at 10:30-ish.

That commercial trev57 just posted looked a little strong for just a new set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoadStar 363 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Wow. That's... um... different. Definitely nothing like anyone else in the market. Can't say I like it, but it's a bold move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeters 1805 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Clearly they were going for an O&O look to match the graphics. The new set looks like it uses the spce a lot better than the previous one. They also have a 3x3 monitor wall and a nice interview area (that hasn't been on-air yet).

MidwestTV 1173 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Well, it's nice, but I don't think it's as extravagant as their promos were hyping it up to be. It's a simple, clean, effective look for sure, which is nice. I'm sure it'll grow on me some if I keep looking at it. Seems like a Park Place job.

trev57 46 Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Am I the only one who doesn't get the blurred/out of focus backdrop on the homebase? I just think a nice, clean image of the skyline would make the set 10x better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrh1985 56 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Set is very nice! Well done CBS 58! However, i do think the commercials were overdone/not needed. Unless that's the CBS O&O way? To my knowledge, none of the other 3 had promos for their sets. Not even FOX 6 back in 1997 and that remodel was HUGE! I remember that night well!

mrschimpf 2050 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I really like it. I'm more apt to watch "keep it simple" newscasts like WBAY's and this has a really good use of space, with just enough nice O&O'ish flair to keep it interesting and it's definitely a more versatile set (and with the videoscreens, certainly more easy to change than WITI's still duratrans with the changing Milwaukee skyline). It looks like WYTU/Telemundo Wisconsin is keeping the set used during the remodel for their own going by their newscast right now, though we'll see tomorrow night.

I just think a nice, clean image of the skyline would make the set 10x better. Probably to add some depth to it or something and put more attention on the anchors rather than the background. It's also easy on the eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Block 1487 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'd be worried about all those lines creating a moiré effect if a shot were to be framed in just the wrong way. Still though, it's a big improvement from what used to be there and what's on the other stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samantha 2876 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 It's a really crisp look. The out of focus aesthetic in the backgrounds definitely reminds me of iOS/Mac OS right now; I wonder how well it will age, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1805 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Press release, time lapse, and photos of the remodeled newsroom and new control room: www.cbs58.com/story/30244157/cbs-58-unveils-state-of-the-art-studio One of the reasons they hyped this so much and called it the "new CBS58" is because a lot of behind the scenes stuff is new. New control room, new studio cameras, new newsroom... There's supposedly a new studio and control room for Telemundo too which will allow them to be live on both channels at once. Weigel hasn't invested this much money in WDJT since, well, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weigel has an excellent promo department that will take any excuse to make a promo; witness any time they do a CBS Packer game or their March Madness bracket contest promos, which definitely do more than most stations in showing off. The set seems to be made to say after passing WITI and WISN's CBS run lengths that they're more committed than those two ever were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTVNews 1366 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 This is THE most beautiful set I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRolyPoly 1843 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I will say that all the hype really didn't get to me because not one set will "change everything" in local news. No set will never do that. Never. But I will say that WDJT 58's new set has really outdone themselves and its well nicely done. It reminds me of WITI 6's set, because of where the CBS 58 and the FOX 6 Milwaukee signs are placed, but I say that CBS 58 looks better. All this hype was for nothing but I like their set better than the rest in the market (sorry WITI 6). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eat News 4738 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 It reminds me of the exterior of a Supermax prison. It's very clean looking with the stainless look. it almost looks like you can eat off it, or conduct wacky science experiments on the table/desktop. It's bold...but not in a bad way, however I also wonder how long it can go before being very dated. Boy I got sucked right into that hype. Lot's of blue also!
