Oregon Media Insiders

5 weeks to totally dismantle the AMNW set, modify it for the smaller studio, install it in the other studio, add paint, new demonstration area, install kitchen plumbing and appliances. Yeah, those just minor changes. When you tune in and they're back on set, it will have the same look. There won't be a huge change in style. They didn't start from the ground up on this one. It wasn't in the budget. That's getting spent on the new news set which will encompass pretty much all the floor space of Studio A.

Just some background on studios. KATU has 3 of them in the building. Studio A,B, and C. A is where the news set is and where AMNW was up until the first of the year. Studio B was primarily empty and was used for a couple town hall programs, Sports Extra, and for those of you who attended, the Blogger Gathering last fall. Studio C is kind of hidden. Located behind Studio A, it's home to Fisher Pathways, a division of Fisher that does satellite and fiber feeds across the country. When you see a guest on Larry King or O'Reilly with the Portland skyline behind them, it originates from studio C. That should give you an idea of who lives where.
