IndyNewsOpens 83 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Today when I was watching their morning news, it looked like they had moved the desk in the studio out to the newsroom, as well as the weather set looking like just a flatscreen with a computer - no green screen. I'll see if I can get pictures later. Anyone think WXIN is building a new set ahead of the Tribune-Sinclair merger (or if WXIN is one of the rumored stations Fox is buying)?

Webovision 202 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 any new set project would have started long before the merger was announced... this weird idea that the trib stations are rushing to do things "before the merger" is very not likely... it would have been budgeted for a year or more out... business as usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDVR pushed these graphics out before the merger for that very reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who?cares 253 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 It does appear they are getting a new set. Still on a temporary location. It looks like the weather area is in the small news conference room. The anchor location looks to be where the old newsroom camera was. It’s right behind the opening of the set then to camera right. The building has three “studios.” Studio A is the FOX set, which is open to the newsroom. Studio B is the CBS studio. It’s small and they literally use every square inch. Studio C is where Hoosier Lottery is Produced. This was a conference room until the CBS affiliation switch happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devon 37 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 So obviously didn't happen at New Year's (I figured that was too quick.) Any news on time frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon 37 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 New set (though the pics are from nearly a month ago so it was a work in progress.) This is only the second news set they've ever created but they do a lot of display work. Not sure how I feel, though the graphics suggest there might be some updated graphics coming too. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10154871433476741 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who?cares 253 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Unless they made a bunch of modifications since those pictures were taken, I think the FX set was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Pretty underwhelming. That desk is weird. Is it that weird cursive V shaped desk, but they closed it off? If so, odd to have a desk with a hole in the middle of it. It looks more like a set from the early/mid 00s that's been modded to add some 10s technology to it. Not sure why they would want to go with a design company that's only ever fabricated one other news studio. Who was the first? Browsing through their Facebook they clearly do good work. News sets just clearly aren't their forte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOWERCASE GUY 242 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 It's not the worst set they've had. This one only lasted for less than 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon 37 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I suppose I misattributed the "design" as it appears to have been designed by a guy at KTLA and then Mecca fabricated it, I guess? I was EXTREMELY hopeful they would get a set like KSWB just did, but I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOWERCASE GUY 242 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Parts of it I like, parts of it I think they could've done a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC 7 Denver 1552 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Parts of it I like, parts of it I think they could've done a little better. They picked out some really bland wood tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon 37 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Overall it looks like a revised version of the set they just had. The biggest updates are the desk and weather screens. I hope they didn't spend too much money for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
