Fox 5 debuted its new, sleek modern set today.
The color blue is prevalent. And there are a lot more video screens.
Like homes, TV sets do look dated after a few years. This is WAGA-TV's first update in seven years, which isn't that long but in this competitive market, a seeming necessity. It's the first new set since GM Bill Schneider took over about four years ago.
The staff worked on a temporary set for more than two months. I'm told they kept the set build out as super secret as they could get away with.
11 Alive and CBS46 both recently created new sets as well. Channel 2 Action News' set is about eight years old and will be revamped later this year.
Here was a teaser posted on YouTube:
