The collaboration between the KYW and DDG teams resulted in an “audience-focused scenic storytelling environment.” During the input phase of the project, the KYW team said they wanted an adaptable set that featured a variety of storytelling venues.

The WYFF team wanted a versatile set that featured a variety of storytelling venues. The studio had to be flexible, not just within newscasts, but also able to accommodate special programming, such as debates.

Devlin Design Group captured the Gold and Silver Awards in the Set Design category at this year’s Promax Local Awards.

The set was designed by Devlin Design Group, an award-winning national set design company. Free Lance Staging, owned by Caleb Kennedy and located in Thomasville, North Carolina, was among the companies hired to bring the design to completion.

The Black News Channel, the nation’s only provider of 24/7 cable news programming created “by people of color for people of color,” debuted on Monday with set and lighting design by Devlin Design Group.

“This state-of-the-art set with the technology and venues allows us to take the audience into stories, weather tracking and get to the heart of what matters to Central Alabama,” says Susana Schuler, WVTM’s general manager.

WISC wanted Devlin Design Group to consider the future of news broadcasting when it came to designing the station’s new set. The design needed to showcase technology, increase production values, spotlight talent, and reflect the vibrant Madison, Wisconsin capitol city community.
