Most of the backlit surfaces were shifted to an orange shade, giving the space a brighter feel as compared to the darker, more dramatic look used in the evening. A different look for morningsįor the station’s morning news, home base shifted to the window wall thanks to a wild anchor desk. The studio also features multiple strong vertical lines, including wood and metallic fronted columns, some of which feature the station’s logo, that are dramatically uplit, a move that helps delineate the space visually. The wide toss shot to the balcony showed the primary video wall with matching election graphics, as did the panel on the balcony array. The “window” area was also used for a standing anchor position, with branded election graphics showing up on the panels behind the anchor before he tossed to a reporter on the balcony. The balcony was also used for a weather tease at 6 p.m. That look, in turn, was inspired by the modern metal and glass walls of the Victory Park development.įorecaster Pete Delkus even moved over near this area to toss to the sports anchor after some brief crosstalk, before the camera pulled in tighter on just sports anchor Joe Trahan for his report.Īt 10 p.m., sports was done from the balcony level with a smaller wall mounted LED panel serving as a sort of OTS graphic and the home base video wall showcasing a topical graphic in the wide jib shot at the top of the block. The blocky collage of walls were featured on the Victory Park set, which was refreshed in 2018, and also draw on the metal framework that was featured in its original design. These panels are equipped with a mix of solid, edge lit and backlit elements with many of them featuring integrated color changing LED that allows them, like the space’s backlit headers and anchor desk segment to change color as needed. Most of the upper walls, and much of the complete wall behind the stairs, are filled with an irregular array of rectangular panels set of by metallic frames.
While the balcony is the only space that talent can physically reach on the upper part of the set, the studio is essentially wrapped in scenery from floor to grid throughout the entire space. This area also featured multiple large arrow accents on the walls and is equipped with a row of video panels and bar-style seating that went unused during the debut.
This video wall can also be used for single anchor standups when shot off axis and two person standups without the desk. Standing behind this were co-anchors Chris Lawrence and Cynthia Izaguirre. newscasts, the station’s “winged” Tegna style anchor desk from the old studio was brought over and placed in front of a wide video wall remiscient of the primary background at Victory Park, using it as a primary backdrop, though anchors and other talent frequently move around the space, including using a touchscreen standup area or “window” array on the other side of the space. The approximately one month gap was needed because some LED display technology from Victory Park were brought over to Young Street and reused.įollowing the station’s “arrow” logo and design element, it’s perhaps appropriate that the primary home base is situated in the corner of the studio, creating a multitiered wedge-shaped loft balcony above it.įor the 6 and 10 p.m. By mid-December 2021, the station was anchoring newscasts from a modified version of its newsroom standup location as it overhauled the main studio space.
