So this is what the much-heralded and over-promoted Live Desk looks like on the new million dollar set at Fox 13? The prominent rear ends of three, count 'em three, large computers, the anchor's head blocking the logo and a background which says nothing about anything. I know it's early, but the sampling opportunity is high for potential viewers and this look didn't cut it. Did they block the location shot at all?
Here's another that speaks 'much ado about nothing.' Expectations unmet. Viewers unimpressed.
And here's a UW football assistant coach presser full screen with reaction to the far more important city CCTV decision in a mini-box lower right. Huh?
The Live Desk honestly looks less impressive here than it did in the old building. The third photo from your October 7th 2026 post "What happened to the Vaunted LIVE DESK?" may be the best it ever looked. The current set-up is rather plain compared to the new main set, and it is poorly blocked.
ReplyDeleteAs for the decision to take the UW presser full-screen instead of the CCTV decision, that was very poor news judgement. It is no secret that Fox 13 is a sports heavy station, and carrying the UW presser aligns nicely with that. But the CCTV decision was more important, and should have been given full-screen treatment. The UW presser could have been taped and run in-full later.
