I have it on good authority that the wall separating the WJBF studio and the former WAGT studio will come down. This means the new studio will be about 70% larger post renovation. 

 

 

Knowing Nexstar, they will look to utilize every corner ...... I mean, every square inch of the expanded studio space they can to maximize its usage.

I wonder if those are actual monitors, or if they're duratrans?

Interesting a station in Augusta, GA would get the same treatment as a station in San Francisco, California.

Probably monitors considering they are a Nexstar station. WFLA and KRON also have a similar background.

Pictures taken from Anchors Renetta Dubose, Shawn Cabbagestalk, and Jenna Petracci's FB pages. Looks like they did a soft launch of the set this weekend. Incredibly impressive for the Augusta market, to say the least. Cookie cutter set or not, Augusta viewers will be impressed.

Also an incredible advancement for WJBF and amazing when you look at what they were broadcasting from just 18 or so years ago. (even though the vid is dated 2002, This set at their former home of 1001 Reynolds lasted until 2004)

Really liking the new set. This proves how the Lance Schroeder-led Nexstar design team has learned from the FX sets and improved to do more professional set designs which clearly are miles away from the infamous Dalek Desk designs, and more in-line with other videowall-led sets. I hope this will be the case with other sets being designed by them (except for many of the sets for the bigger markets, which are being mostly outsourced to FX).

Wow, thanks for posting the link. It does look much better and it looks like they have some robotic pedestals too. 

Actually, I saw a video posted that they have gone to full robotic pedestals that can move around the studio. Pretty impressive for that market.
