fan of la tv 47 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I tuned into the middle of the Saturday morning news on KABC and they were doing their newscast from their newsroom. They made no mention why they were there but I did miss the beginning where they might of mentioned. Anyone have any info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1804 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Yeah, they were in the newsroom this morning. And now it looks like they've move some of the 2006 set to a temporary spot (a la WLS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daybreak 268 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 This is the set I've been waiting for. ABC is on the roll with the O&O's. I wonder if KGO is next because they definitely need a new set too. All of the O&O's receiving one have been deserving one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaking News 760 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 So I assume WABC & WPVI won't be on the bandwagon to get new sets; however KABC, WLS, *KRTK, are in the process to get new sets. Where does WTVD, KFSN, & KGO stand at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24994J 4923 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Speaking of KTRK, I saw some web entry stating that ABC13's new set would be done in a month, so, correct me if I'm wrong, that would mean a debut sometime this week/next weekend.

I'm a bit curious is that an air vent on top of the pillar to the left of the duratrans/screen? As an aside I still can't believe they make talent wear circle seven pins. I can't imagine how many holes their clothes must have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever seen an ABC correspondent fill in at an O&O anchor desk before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside I still can't believe they make talent wear circle seven pins. I can't imagine how many holes their clothes must have. Probably to release some of the heat being emitted from the projection screen and the lights behind the duratrans. Not exactly the best place to put it, but it's only temporary.

It seems as of NOW KABC the only station that has the pins...The pins are old school from the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rah6448 21 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 From my standpoint, what we're seeing could be a move stage left (to the right of the usual home base as we see it) due to work being done on that part of the set... Pictures on the old Black Walnut site would demonstrate that this is the area to the left of the update/traffic area, but I can't seem to find them. Shown above, however, is the wall to the left of the aforementioned region of the set, where the camera was set up in front of home base, yet facing to the right. This should be the backlit wall that you see in the screencaps above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1597 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 They're on both sides. An aesthetic maybe? They're probably just a decorative part of the set that happens to look like a vent on TV... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eat News 4718 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 They're on both sides. An aesthetic maybe? I bet it's for a meat smoker. What news team doesn't enjoy a hearty piece of beef or yummy flaky fish. Smokey Goodness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BehindNYNews 142 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 ABC going all in with new sets this fall! WABC just got one not too long ago. The current studio is pretty adjustable so they might want to consider some new backdrops. Honestly I wouldn't mind a few updates for WABC. That said, I know WPVI just updated their set but they, in my opinion, are in dire need of an all new set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcnewsjunky 14 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Well I think we know who is designing them... [MEDIA=twitter]637010941901565952[/MEDIA] I could see it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfomspphl 402 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Ugh... Get ready for lots of video walls with big black lines in them, as if nothing has changed since 1994. The folks who did WFTV's set are truly innovative. Too bad they're a small upstart. Same for the WrightSet folks who did KPRC and whomever did the KENS set in San Antonio.

24994J 4923 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Yeah, as nice as WAGA's set is, its advantage lies in its size, and not its features. The generic sets in a box rolled out at some of the Scripps stations are mediocre and cheap-looking. Back to my point about WAGA, hopefully ABC7's studio size will yield a quality product. That said, did they forget about their work in Atlanta? Also, there's no guarantee that KABC is their client. There are bound to be a few Fox stations due for a set in the top 10, and WJLA is getting a new set, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
