MidwestTV 1173 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Gray's WLBT in Jackson, Mississippi has started a studio renovation. From what I've been told they're completely gutting the studio and starting over. It's not expected to be done until the end of the year. https://www.facebook.com/PatrickEllisWx/posts/362222315259093 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS531 0 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Gray's Omaha NBC affiliate (WOWT) announced similar. They bought the building next door to their current one and it's being renovated into their new studio and offices. Should be complete summer of 2022.

tyrannical bastard 3441 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 No pun intended, but I've noticed a lot of "gray" in Gray's sets as of late..... I guess it's more subtle than putting their logo on the set, like WABI did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big open space in the middle gives them even more flexibility for the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
