LoadStar 363 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Looks like WISN introduced a remodeled set today for the political show "Upfront with Mike Gousha," also seen on other ABC stations across the state. This was desperately needed as the set was *extremely* dated. I believe it was at one point (early to mid 90's, I think) used as a main news set. It really received only minor updates before becoming the Upfront set, and the updates it received were done extremely cheaply. The new set makes heavy use of the Hearst diagrid combined with various types of stacked stone. You can see a little of the set here: http://www.wisn.com/news/matc-to-offer-free-tuition-to-some-students/35241548 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtraveler01 737 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 The graphics are different compared to the regular newscasts as well. The set looks very nice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1675 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I like it and think it looks good for the market (or any really as a side interview set/nook). I can't tell from the video but did they erect a real diagrid or was it part of the graphic in the background. The lower thirds and the graphics on the monitor appear to try to tie the diagrid together but I think it looks a bit awkward especially in the lower thirds. They should have ditched the animating diagrid background in the lower thirds all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeters 1806 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Those graphics have been in use for about two years now...

I think the old set was assembled out of set pieces from their last few sets. Looks kinda like an FX Group job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoadStar 363 Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 I think the old set was assembled out of set pieces from their last few sets. I'm pretty sure there's at least a portion of that set that dated back all the way to the "Channel 12 This Morning" era, back when David Davis worked for the station way back when.

Somebody get that guest a sportcoat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
