Get ready for a couple new sets in Cincinnati. WKRC and WXIX are ready to launch their sets Thursday morning for November sweeps.
WKRC has been conducting practice runs on their set for a week. The new set is HD ready, but the station still has to upgrade equipment in order to flip to HD newscasts. Don't expect that to happen for at least a month. The new news and weather set should air Thursday morning for Good Morning Tri-State. The biggest change will be the weather office which will also be used for traffic reports. Also, expect to see roughly three dozen plasma screens on the set.
WXIX completed their set this past Sunday. The station has been running rehearsals on the set since then. FOX19 will also be switching to HD within the next week, but it could happen as early as Thursday as well (with the launch of the set).
-WLWT is sending out the pink slips to a couple workers due to the poor economic conditions. WLWT GM Richard Dyer told employees today that a production supervisor and an assignment editor were let go.
