The new 69News studio is the result of months of careful
planning, design, and construction. Our graphics department
worked with a nationally known set design group to create a very
versatile new look for our newscasts.
In the summer of 2005, construction began on a new
2-story studio building. After the floor, walls, and roof were
in place, the entire building (except the floor) was sprayed
with a thick coating of sound absorbing material. Installation
of the electrical and air handling systems began. In December
2005, the pre-constructed set pieces arrived, and we began
carefully mounting them in the studio. Following this, we
installed lighting, cabling, computer systems, audio and video
systems, and finished some additional touch up painting. The
rehearsals began after that. |
