WBAY new set??

Looks like WBAY is getting a new set.....as per their Facebook page, "big changes are underway". Note the duratrans on the floor.

I was just wondering the other day how many years it would take for their set to be Grey-ified. I wonder if they're going to move the current set into the auditorium while they rebuild?

After watching the 12PM, I honestly wonder if there will be a new set. They just redid some things here and there to reflect the "First Alert" branding (most particularly StormCenter 2 becoming "First Alert Weather").

The Facebook embed function doesn't show photo captions, but they told us to watch the 12PM for our "FIRST look".

I'm leaning towards no new set. I don't think they would have replaced as many graphics as they did if they were replacing it.

No new set, but a new open and updated duratrans. "Coverage You Can Count On" is gone after 30+ years, now WBAY is now "Your First Alert Station," taking WALB's old slogan.
