Al-SA-TX 54 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Next on the list of Hearst stations to receive a new set: KOAT. [MEDIA=twitter]907343642695581696[/MEDIA] I work at this station and decided to wait until someone else made the announcement before posting here. The new set is a variation of the other recent set launches within Hearst, but with some New Mexico elements added to the mix. The renderings are quite nice, we'll have to see if the final product will hold up, but I think it will be a nice change for the state of New Mexico. Regardless, it'll be contemporary and the sharpest looking set in this DMA. The current set was moved on Saturday from Studio B to Studio A, so the average viewer won't notice a difference, but the lighting is a bit off in the temp studio. It took 12 hours to move that beast. Additionally, KOAT launched a new newscast: Live at 4 last month. It's an hour long show. Harry was dropped from our lineup in favor of moving Steve Harvey to 2pm and Ellen to 3pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes stations will tweak things when they launch a new set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1675 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Hopefully they'll switch to HD as well. But given that HTV didn't put WDSU in HD why would they do the same for KOAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country News 435 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 If other stations have used similar sets, expect that they'll Throw A Dura On it™! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al-SA-TX 54 Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Yay! Do you know of any other changes happening? Sometimes stations will tweak things when they launch a new set. Nothing else is changing as far as I know. Hopefully they'll switch to HD as well. But given that HTV didn't put WDSU in HD why would they do the same for KOAT. We've been full HD for a few years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobC 44 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Hallelujah to the most watched station in New Mexico. First, KOCO 5 received a new set and it's Action 7 News to follow along. Maybe it will be the same one like WBAL, KETV, KSBW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearstArgyleFan90 38 Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I can't wait to see what it'll look like. But the video said the new set should make its debut in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n925tv 143 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Set will debut on Wed, 10/25 on the "Live at 4" show. Only sneak peak I've found of the new set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbnews 344 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Basically, it is gonna look like every single new Hearst set. God, I hope WCVB doesn't get the traditional Hearst set. They always seem to let WCVB slide with not looking just like everybody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearstArgyleFan90 38 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Just found a time-lapse of the new set on KOAT's YouTube channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaking News 802 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Here are pics of the new seat KOAT 7. Very Hearst like, but sleek and clean (Why does Doug Hernandez always looks constipated in every picture shot?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
