rkolsen 1664 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 I really like the set. That said I wish there was the budget to get curved or and the LED tiles around that one corner of the wall. Having a seamless display right next to a 3x3 grid doesn’t look cohesive for me. Also why no sink in the kitchen? I’m sure it could be easily plumbed in. And turned off so you wouldn’t have to worry about leaks and what not during the rest of the week when it’s not in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A curved video wall would have been very cool! I agree, I don't understand why they didn't do seamless directly behind the desk to match the sides. And the kitchen feels like an after thought to me, I don't know how much they will use it but yes it could have been better. (and had a sink).

You’d think for kitchen purposes, they’d do that in Studio B (the New Day set). But it must make more sense logistically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this time of complex station buys and trades you would think the folks at WJW would at least update those baths. It's about squeezing every little dollar out of station value. Welcome back BTW...I missed you and the toons. Hope all is well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it must make more sense logistically. It takes 2 studios = 2 union crews. Be realistic. WJW is doing it right. The audience is loyal. They will stay. Studio A the place to stay. However, WEWS is a joke, WKYC is living on borrowed time and WOIO is...? The anchors are not holding anything down, It;s painful to watch. I think, yes I think they should let the sports guys do the news cuz they have the energy. WOIO is a waste of time. Only thing they have going for them is CBS and they don't embrace the network. BIG MISTAKE. It's a major market fools. This war will not be won by Gray, they don't have the experience. They are Sinclair like, laughable. Gray is screwed in Cleveland. Read this in 24 months. We will both have a laugh! So go way far WJW!, the new set is a big win brothers and sisters!!! The people love that station. Next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The open looks pretty good. Unless Fox plans on a refresh/overhaul to their O&O graphics, or give WJW the same leeway that they (wisely) give KTVU, that would count as a downgrade for them now IMO. 3 hours ago, ABC 7 Denver said: Ripped off KDVR, I see.

Gotham just doesn't work with Din. At least Gotham meshes more with the typeface utilized for the original package. The opens are giving me a WJZ vibe.

ttvn2000 244 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I love it. Feels more "WGN" than "WGHP" - which Fox 8 deserves. I also like their interpretation of the graphics by including video of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 2871 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Very impressive! With the in house tweaks, it works really well and is far and away the best thing going on Cleveland TV now. Beau Weaver has been there a while now (a few years) but is finally replacing Greg O'Neill in the news opens... The one thing I'll miss is the lack of the Key wall....how would they be able to create classic Big Chuck and Lil John sketches like this?

news89 467 Posted August 26, 2019 Author Share Posted August 26, 2019 Once again the wizards at Dick Goddard Way did some wonderful things. I felt like I was watching WGN only without Larry, Robin and Tom Freaking Skilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
