Like WTVJ, Scripps-owned Palm Beach NBC affiliate WPTV have been hard at work on a new news set in time for the summer Olympics. Along with it the station will also get a new graphics package, so those delicious looking caramel colored lower thirds are going away, sorry.
Our tipster ninjas tell me WPTV staffers had their first rehearsal yesterday. Jay Cashmere, Shannon Cake, Kait Parker, Mollie Reynolds and the rest of the crew put everything trough the ringer to make sure the lighting, camera angles and everything else works. The tipsters however differ on when everything will go live – it’s either Thursday or Friday.
Expect something unusual, but not on the scale of what WTVJ just unveiled last week.
