Ryan729 2 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Wciv an abc affiliate in Charleston, South Carolina is finally getting a new set. It’s been reported last night (February 4th) was their last night on their current set and is now completely torn down while they move to a temporary set while the new one is being complete. Wciv has been in a major need for a new set as they have been using their current one for many years.https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=602366975037233&id=100057918075643&set=a.147481350525800&eav=AfaTR_0DLyLbFk_UxpixBQO8ejiH74DHO47U9sUbtrA8GsTydHxUmn20va9ZUCfL-dw&paipv=0&source=48 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrschimpf 1537 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 All this work for a subchannel on an MNTV station. (because their DT2 is ABC due to the usual Sinclair regulatory hijinks and the actual channel 4 being a sidecar lighthouse) But it is about time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axiom81 58 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 WCIV? Wow! This is long overdue! This would make all 3 stations in Charleston receiving a new set in under a year (WCBD (Nexstar), WCSC (Gray) and now WCIV (Sinclair). I'm pretty sure WCIV's set (which has had very small modifications over the years) originally went live in the early-mid 2000's (not exactly sure of the date).

WCIV has about half the power if memory serves, plus they get to keep the duopoly. The FCC should just be lenient about trading virtual channel numbers. As long as no conflicts are created, I don't see what the big deal is. Much less confusing for the viewer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan729 2 Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 The current overhaul and making of the new wciv news set is underway. Have already seen a promo from it but no sneak peaks of the new set just yet. However I have heard the new set is coming sometime in April! Hopefully we will see some video walls and some more reporting angles in the new set because their old one they have been very limited on where they could do stand ups from. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0qpmCdqGnYdJd3dvRX4ZV9mpH3TJfdp5uHs4kLBBcrCkcfmVfPNKcgWeSi7wWCvfl&id=148070675248324&mibextid=Nif5oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
