I love KOMO's new set. The background is especially nice - a welcome departure from the usual suspects of duratrans, big screen or video wall.

Apparently the floor graphics are a 'nod to Northwest Native American tribal art'. The graphics in front of the weather desk seem to be the phases of the moon.

And apparently the desks are a nod to native american whale symbols.....something like that. Ifigured it was relevant and I suspected thoses were phases of the moon. I just dont like the way it was implemented. It could have been handled a bit more subtly. Also in an a nod to their colleagues that were killed in a chopper crash, they suspended a chopper blade above the set.. overall for a Sinclair owned station this is a definite A+

WTTG 5 DC - Well within days of each other the FOX and ABC debuted new sets.

Just to return briefly to this one, I saw some of their morning news and the set looks incredible at this time of day. The top and bottom panels behind the desk (greyish blue in the above pic) are orangey-yellow, which contrasts beautifully with the blue.

I thought they used their 'loft' set in the mornings, but maybe that's just for Good Day DC from 9-11.

KIRO 7 - Seattle
The new set has made its debut. Looks good. A bit too much wood. (But Seattle is in the NorthWest so it sorta makes sense.) New graphics and updated logo also launched. They also dropped the Eyewitness News title and they debut a new those which first was heard on WSB 2 Atlanta.

KDKA 2 Pittsburgh - Even though they are currently on a temporary set, the set they are using seems to have been a nice customization of off-the-shelf pieces from TVSETDESIGNS.COM. Looks quite good actually.

Here is the stock desk they are using for presentations.

The walls are customized versions of their off the shelf frames. Its quite inexpensive and cost effective. Perfect for the Small Local UK stations budgets. KDKA seems to have added the screens to the backdrop and the desk and they also added the LED lights so they can change the colours.

WDBJ 7- Roanoke VA, just uploaded a short video of their new set. Looks impressive for a such a small market. Well deserved update. Remember this is the station that had 2 of their journalists murdered live on air.
