C Block 1487 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Looks nice, though I'm a little surprised. Their outgoing set wasn't even four years old. https://www.facebook.com/MarcusWashingtonNBCBayArea/posts/pfbid02M4AgkGSXM4RLqMCkz1bTW5WTag9pHg3t12S3EvLLT7ueg7aiuZA8JTFXpUoiAt7Wl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFTV 484 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Looks more cleaner. I don’t recall the studio being that huge! The best part is the monitors on the floor. It’s similar to what NBC Sports Bay Area uses on its post game shows. I’m feeling this will be used for elections especially. Raj does a tour at the last 2 minutes of his video. https://www.instagram.com/tv/Cfavr_5tdLa/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= a better version of a 360 loop on its studio bump before the break. https://www.instagram.com/p/CfalHber5m3/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Edited July 1, 2022 by SFTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyHarry 718 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 It looks too simple to me. Simple backdrop, wood floor and a desk. I'm usually okay with minimalism, but something's missing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noggi 600 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Weather Centers are dated… make the set more versatile by not locking in on such a wasted space. As for the overall design and how it looks when you see the whole thing - how often does that’s even happen anymore? Shows happen in double boxes and 2-shots and in front of giant monitor walls. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBC 5 Chicago 164 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 WMAQ got rid of their weather center recently. They use it as a stand up area now. 18 minutes ago, noggi said: Shows happen in double boxes and 2-shots and in front of giant monitor walls. This is a direct result of the pandemic. I hate it. I miss the wide shots and tosses from weather and sports at stand up areas or the weather center. It gave the shows more depth then talking in boxes and switching graphics or using transitions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveNews 327 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 The SF Bay Area is not a heavy severe WX market compared to say....Boston. No need for a fancy WX center. I'm ok with NBCBA's new set not having one. Their previous set was *OK,* but other NBC O&Os have updated in recent year and I'm sure they wanted to be on brand as best as they could. 16 hours ago, ABC 7 Denver said: 6 years old, according to Newscast Studios.

C Block 1487 Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Not sure if I did this right, but I uploaded some (admittedly low quality) screengrabs. I like that they incorporated the newsroom back into the studio design again. Looks like they also have a robotic ceiling-mounted trundle cam for jib-like wide shots, which is pretty cool. They move the main anchor desk out for the 7pm show, which is where I grabbed a few of these shots. Edited July 2, 2022 by C Block 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noggi 600 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I think this actually has a really nice vibe to it! Lots of presentation space and very open. Newsroom as a backdrop looks great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought it was pretty stupid to have a working office inside the studio anyway. The studio is like your living room. It should always be neat and clean for when company comes over.

I do love that more and more, stations are acknowledging that and just either setting aside a separate space entirely for weather (as WITI has), putting it in a space behind the big screen (the new common Hearst setup) or just showing the plain old weather office where all the equipment runs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WXIA is another example, and it's not really a noticable weather set, it could really be the main set in a small market 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
