Let's hope they get something nice, how long was the outgoing set in service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBC 5 Chicago 159 Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 I think WTVJ's is a miss compared to their previous set. It's a very large and nice set but I think it is just bland overall like WNBC's. WMAQ, WRC, WCAU, KXAS and maybe even WBTS have the better sets within the group. There is more character and elements to their sets. KNBC's is starting to age but still held up well and had some character. We'll see if they get something similar to WMAQ and WRC and not the way of WTVJ and WNBC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiveNews 309 Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 KNBC moved from Burbank to Universal City around 2014/2015. The outgoing set has been in use since then. There have been minor tweaks and upgrades along the way. I'm currently looking at sister station T52 to see if they have moved to the newsroom as well. They operate out of the same facility. They are still in their studio, but it does look a bit diferent to me. Not sure if they got a new studio first, then moved on to KNBC.

WNBC's set is going away shortly as they move from Studio 3K to 3B, shared with Telemundo 47, in a similar set up to DC. Hopefully there will be some unique elements but most of the NBCU sets are based on lots of video screens and stand up delivery. In the end, does a viewer really care?

Recall the wood grain elements WRC retrofitted onto its prior set after its original stark Clickspring debut…wood elements that were signature to the set that replaced… Mu guess is viewers were off put by something so stark the first time around. So generally yes viewers probably don't obsess the details but if the change is too stark they can find it distracting or hard to identify and stations can get caught flat footed. Thats probably more pronounced at the minority of stations that have deep generational viewing habits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigViewer 45 Posted November 6 Author Share Posted November 6 (edited) Possible glimpse of a portion of NBC LA's upcoming new set, as seen during Mario Solis's sportscast (he stood in front of a chroma key) during their 11pm show tonight? I guess time will tell. Edited November 6 by CraigViewer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But totally agree that WNBC is lackluster for market 1. Edited November 7 by MediaZone4K 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
