tyrannical bastard 3410 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) The "new set bug" has hit Nexstar's WMBB in Panama City, they are replacing their set that's about a decade old, introduced under Hoak when they were in Widescreen SD. https://fb.watch/dd2aXDbpMU/ I don't think it was mentioned on here, but WJHG recently got "Gray-Hounded" with their bus-station-like set, similar to the one WABI got, and was discussed about earlier. Nexstar can easily produce something better. I'm amazed the set and studio held up after Hurricane Michael since the rest of the station literally had to be rebuilt from the inside out; a process that involved temporary trailers and took over a year.

nycnewsjunkie 1388 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) “Um sophisticated set” is a good set of words to describe it actually. Too bad they edited the article (no fun allowed in that newsroom, I guess.) Of course, the “new and innovative” BS is still there, even though it’s just another pre-fab set that isn’t anything special. 9 hours ago, TheRolyPoly said: No they bleeping didn't! Its just another Nexstar set in a box! To be fair, I’m sure there were plenty of viewers that said “we love your newscasts, but what you guys really need is a desk in the corner of your studio.” /s Edited July 14, 2022 by nycnewsjunkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrannical bastard 3410 Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Sadly, like most places, Nexstar's "corner set in a box" is worlds better than what the competition has. I present the "Gray-hound" station over in Panama City Beach.... And as evidenced by their graphics, anything would "bee" better! So, um...I preesent thee, um next star set in the uh, box. I can only hope and pray that the original version of their article used some kind of auto-transcription from a sound byte, and wasn't actually transcribed that way manually. Although it would be funny to [sic] it up! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axiom81 66 Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I highly suspect WCBD (Which is Nexstar) and getting a new studio will have this exact same look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If in fact the ND wrote this, that station is a heap of trouble considering his lack of knowing the right terms, what they mean, as well as being able to make a coherent sentence. it seems appropriate a high school student wrote it.

Honestly thought, the joke's on the ND. Nexstar loathes lawsuits and avoids them at all costs. He can try scare tactics like this (and poor ones at that), but Nexstar attorneys aren't going to do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3410 Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 I think I see a pattern here... Remember FLNewscenter.com? Way back in 2005-ish, someone posted a bunch of WJHG and WMBB opens/intros to their page. Well, WJHG raised holy hell, and all of the content was pulled off the page due to threats of a lawsuit for copyright infringement.... At that time....their primary anchor AND news director was.....Tom Lewis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
