Now the bad:
- The backdrop with the giant 2 logo. Blurry and distracting. It's not identifiably Portland.

I agree. The background shouldnt have the huge "2". Also get rid of the "katu.com" watermarks. Instead, anamate your logo on screen to where it says "KATU" and Katu.com.

- The anchor desk looks TINY! The wood's kind of yellowed, too. And what's up with those glowing white things on the side? Did the Star Trek production designers have a fire sale on warp drives?

I think its susposto be like that. Only to fit 2 people. As the weather, and sports people have their own sections. The white glowing things are lights.

- Frosted glass!? Why not toss in some ice block while you're at it?

It looks good though..

- Blue-to-red gradients all over the place? I'm back running Windows 98!

Well that is part of their new graphics. Best package they ever had, the 2ed is their 1997-2001 graphics with the slanted white box, and yellow, red, blue color sceme. If they were to change that they would have to change their current graphics and I hope they wont for a few years.

- Ugly gray floor! Got paint? I hear lumber liquidators has great deals on laminate, too. If you're going to shoot your floor, you have to treat it like part of your set.

The floor seems fine, though the old "wood" they had last time was a bit nicer

- (Sings) "And she's buying a stairway to... nowhere." WTF? A spiral staircase to crawl up and down during teases? Even ESPN doesn't actually USE their fake staircases.

whos to say it wont work? Stop being negtive we havent even seen a full blown newscast using this set yet.

- The lighting is awful. It looks like Fisher spent so much on the set they forgot to hire a lighting designer.

I find the lighting a lot more plesent then the old set. old set was way to bight and the temp. set was to dual.

It already looks kinda cheap in standard definition. How bad will it be with high def cameras and a year or two of wear & tear?

Theres your answer. I actully have a HD TV with HD signal and it looks great.

I fell this new set, along with brain wood will bring up katu raitings
