KCPQ, Tribune’s Fox affiliate in Seattle, debuted its redesigned studio and new set on Monday.
Designed in conjunction with Broadcast Design International (BDI), the studio uses imagery from Northwest Washington that changes by day-part and by seasons.
“Seattle’s status as a world leader in technology is well-known but the unique beauty of the Northwest’s trees, water and mountains draws people here as well,” said Pam Pearson, KCPQ’s general manager.
“That is why we chose to incorporate both attributes in our new studio which is technologically advanced and a reflection of the amazing communities we call home.”
Large, interactive monitor walls allow viewers to see — through video, weather radar, traffic maps — exactly what is going on in their neighborhoods and how it affects them.
In a developing weather situation, viewers see the changing pictures and changing forecast as the story shifts.
“As we move into what is really a meeting space for our passionate journalists and expert contributors,” said Erica Hill, KCPQ’s news director, “Q13 News has a renewed sense of purpose and a sharpened focus.”
