MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 744 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 This is so badly needed... Compared to the other sets in the DC market, this current set was a complete joke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppetman03 30 Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 Yeah it was safe in terms of HD standards, especially since Allbritton's set lasted 14 years, but it looked bland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 742 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 WJLA's set from the now-defunct Park Place Studio was very basic in design, and with Sinclair having chosen to do all of their new builds in-house as of late, I'm not holding my breath on this new look being on par with the other stations in the DC metro market. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware Park Place went out of business. They designed many of the current Scripps looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muppetman03 30 Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) A possible (?) look at WJLA's new set I noticed it during the morning show on Monday I should note they were still in the 24/7 set Edited December 27, 2023 by Muppetman03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganNewsGraphicsJunkie 744 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) According to a certain website that I cannot mention, the set will debut Tuesday, January 23 when they debut the new facility along with new evening anchor Scott Thuman.

Now that he'll be anchoring newscasts, will he still be doing his packages? Or in this case, nodding in a camera as each station cuts to him "live" ?

noggi 600 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 WJLA’s new set debuts today You’ve never seen a set like this before. Just kidding… it looks like every other set that’s been built in the last 10 or 15 years. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The circular video screens behind the anchor desk look and feel like something I've never seen before (even though I have), and the wraparound video graphics look superb, smooth and seamless. For a Sinclair set, I expected mediocre or worse, but this is O&O-level or even near near network-level. It's that good IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidwestTV 1173 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Looks fantastic. The monitor columns can be a bit overwhelming at times when a solid color (speaking of that red specifically). Overall, this is the type of set you're going to see copied/refined by competing firms. Super well done. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well WJLA is their flagship station and DC is a top ten market so I’m assuming that is why they invested so much into this set. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
