WOWT-TV New Studio

On October 30, 2008, WOWT-TV debuted its new, updated studio. The updated studio featured two dozen flat-panel televisions, according to 6 News 10 at ten co-anchor Tracy Madden. Although the remodel took a little less than a month, the transformation is significant. The studio features a new anchor desk with computers built into it, allowing breaking news to be broadcast immediately. Also, the new WOWT dot com center shows the station's website. A new weather center and sports desk complete the new, fresh look. The WOWT staff mentioned include John Knicely, Tracy Madden, Justin Joseph, Jim Flowers, Dave Weber, and Brian Mastre. Voiceover by Charlie Van Dyke. The music is a variation of L.A. Groove by Groove Addicts, Inc.

Gotta love Charlie Van Dyke!

@DorvellTStewart I agree!

Some kinks in the first show. Although I think the open is pretty lunky and too flashy... but it's not bad. Hope they're going to be in HD soon enough. Omaha just got ritzy. (But this was more than a year and half ago.)

@hkfreak You're absolutely right. You should've seen their HD premiere last October. After nearly a month using the green-screen look, they premiered their new HD look. Only problem was: there was no audio. It took them almost 10 minutes before they got the situation straightened out. KETV and KMTV are now in digital widescreen; WOWT is the only HD station in Omaha.

@hkfreak Haha all of the Omaha stations are getting a little sloppy. KETV has even had issues maintaining consistency and being top-notch. It's difficult to find a reliable, error-free newscast on any of these channels every evening.

@DorvellTStewart Same here. He used to be the voice over announcer to KOMU 8 (Columbia and Jefferson City, MO's NBC Affiliate) in 1995.

So much for 10 minutes of nonstop news.
