Here it is, the 2006-19 set in 360 degree view.

 

I hope the reason the new set is taking so long is because they're ripping out those ancient electrics and the completely unnecessary fly system (all those ropes going from the grid to behind the set). Also, the ceiling looks like it a DuMont original and is probably known to cause cancer in some states.

My birdie is reporting they are moving to a real temp set this weekend, which is a scaled down version of their current one.  It’s in an other studio.  However parts of the new set are in place and may debut before its finished.

 

Saturday night they did 30 minute newscasts at 6 PM and 10 PM  from the newsroom and ran taped shows 6:30 PM and 10:30 PM.

Audrey was outside the studio doing the weather forecasts.

That's...actually not a bad newsroom, if a bit barren.  Probably should find a way to use it for the duration of set construction.

It appears they moved to the new temporary studio tonight.

Did anyone catch the 9am hour of Good Day this morning? I’m going to assume they did it from the desk? Or is there an interview area on the temp set? 

 

9am was done from the desk with the guests on the each side of the anchors.

I just wanna know how they did that 6pm newscast and I use the term newscast loosley

6pm was done with Allison (in for Ernie) sitting to the viewer's far left next to the wall with Nick sitting in Steve's seat.

If I'm correct, the temporary set is the current news desk and walls moved over to where the musical performance and interview areas were located.

The new traffic and weather center are located opposite the new temporary location for the current news desk.

Here are some stills from an IG video showing the new traffic center, green screen and weather center.

Silly Fox 5, they are debuting a set piece by piece that isn’t even lit properly. 

 

They must have joined the "Set of the Month Club"...ya know that's where they get a new set piece each month, so the set is forever being updated...and the company credit card gets billed each month.

 

Fun fact:  San Diego / L.A. radio DJ Shotgun Tom Kelly used to have a full size mock-up of the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in his garage at his San Diego home where he would "entertain" guest.
