WDJT Unveils New Set, State-Of-The-Art Studio

Things have changed at Weigel Broadcasting’s CBS affiliate WDJT Milwaukee (DMA 35).

On Monday, the station unveiled its new state-of-the-art news studio on the CBS 58 News at 10. Anchors Bill Walsh and Michele McCormack presented news of the day amid dynamic visual changes and looks created by the latest in LED and RGB color technology.

The set features many stand-up and video presentation options including a high-tech weather center, interview area and a multi-screen video wall, controlled by the latest in digital equipment.

“Our new set and the technology are unlike anything seen in and around the Milwaukee market,” commented Mark Strachota, VP-GM. “We are thrilled to be the first to present this new and visually interesting approach to local news.” 

News Director Tracy Davis added: “The entire news team is excited. The versatility of the set gives us flexibility and focus in delivering news to our viewers each and every night.”

WDJT worked with set design company Park Place Studio to design and create the new visual experience. Park Place Studios worked with the station’s news, technical and management teams. The set design incorporates a seamless integration between the set and the newsroom, which also underwent an extensive transformation and remodel.
