WABC: New Studio Debuts

A video tour I put together of WABC's new street-side window studio. It's very nice and is a huge upgrade to their old one. The only little problems I have with it, is that big logo of the abc7. It needs some light as its quite dark compared to the two screens beside it. And looking straight at the set, it looks like the anchors aren't centered with the backdrop. It's annoying to look at. I don't why they decided to make it like that.....Anyways, please comment and tell me what you think of it. If you are disappointed with it, keep in mind that WNBC & WCBS are both getting new studios also, so thats something to look forward to. Except WCBS isn't moving into a new studio, they're just redesigning their news set.

On a semi-unrelated but related note, when are WNBC and WCBS supposed to get their new studios? I didn't even know WCBS was going to get one.

@internationalvibe WNBC is probably going to be in January (2012) and WCBS is supposed to be done in 4 weeks according to Kristine Johnson's twitter account.

NYNewsWatch: Do you know who designed their new Studio?

[NYNewsWATCH]

@supersoso2390 looks like a FX Group design, but not sure.

The seven logo in font of the desk looks so ugly. The colors are so off and, well, dead.

@supersoso2390 A child with some crayola?

Here's a little update for you all, they've totally scrapped WNBC's new set and are starting clean over because they (insiders) were saying that it looked like a "smaller thumbs down" (actual quote too) version of WABC's set, so that in other words it looked terrible and ended up being an accidental copy of theirs (I think), since they were probably designing both at the same time, but by the time WABC debuted theirs, it was too late to really change anything about it.

@MrSickofstupidity They should unopen the safe, get together with Mr. Schiffrin(while he still lives), and resurrect the CHL Tar Sequence/Frank Gari 80s rendition.

I just read an article that said WNBC's new set reportedly looks similar to WABC's, "but with a small wooden desk" which would mean that it looks absolutely like sh!t!

They're supposedly getting a new graphics package too. God I hope that looks nice!

I really like the instrumental piano music that you used during this clip. What song is it? Who did it?

[MrSickofstupidity]

I'm glad they kept the Frank Gari "Eyewitness News" theme.

Roger Grimsby and Bill Beutel must be looking down on this new studio, thinking "A streetside news studio would've been cool back in our day."

WABC now and soon WNBC and WBCS will get new studios, well WCBS a new set. But the real question should be is when the fuck is NY1 getting a new studio and set??? Not to mention a new theme music package and graphics!!!! It's been the same for over a decade!!!! The same tired blue colored set with the same tired graphics and fonts. They're desperately trapped in the 90s! Does anyone know if and when they're getting a new set? Lord knows they need one
